You want to know more better Ring of the Ancients? From the very beginning of your adventure in this acclaimed open-world game, you can choose a class for your character, known in-game as their “origin.” This choice determines your starting level and attributes, which will form the basis of your future Elden Ring build.
The question of which Elden Ring class is the best is completely subjective. Although each class has a specific playstyle associated with it, plus their own starting Elden Ring weapons and other gear, the RPG upgrade system is free-form, so your choice doesn’t matter, it won’t matter much in the long run. term. . However, we can make some suitable class recommendations for new players.
We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to the Elden Ring classes, including starting attributes and equipment, and possible starting souvenir options. Just keep in mind that no matter which option you choose, you will likely die many times. Enjoy.
Here are the starting attributes and equipment for the ten Elden Ring classes:
migrant worker
launch material
- halberd
- heating shield
- long sword
initial attributes
- Level – 9
- Energy – 15
- Intellect – 10
- Stamina – 11
- Strength – 14
- Agility – 13
- Intelligence – 9
- Faith – 9
- Arcana – 7
This class is the most balanced of the classes designed for close combat, as it has a lot of health, strength, and agility from the start. Your shield will give you enough protection, but if you want to be able to make a decent dodge roll, you’ll need to strip off some armor or focus on upping the bum’s toughness.
Warrior
launch material
- scimitar x2
- riveted wooden shield
initial attributes
- Level – 8
- Energy – 11
- Spirit – 12
- Stamina – 11
- Strength – 10
- Agility – 16
- Intellect – 10
- Faith – 8
- Arcana – 9
With the highest starting agility, the warrior is a high attack fighter that has relatively light armor for convenient evasion. The Warrior also starts with two-handed scimitars; which together can deal more damage than a heavy attack with a single weapon.
This class can use upgraded weapons sooner since you won’t need to spend runes to improve your agility.
hero
launch material
- battle ax
- large leather shield
initial attributes
- Level – 7
- Energy – 14
- Spirit – 9
- Stamina – 12
- Strength – 16
- Agility – 9
- Intelligence – 7
- Faith – 8
- Arcana – 11
The hero has the highest strength and relatively decent stamina due to his low agility and magical attributes. It’s a great class for a pure melee build, as it doesn’t take many levels to gain the power to wield a boss weapon.
Bandit
launch material
- short bow
- big knife
- Armor
- bone arrows
- short bow
initial attributes
- level 5
- Energy – 10
- Spirit – 11
- Stamina – 10
- Strength – 9
- Agility – 13
- Intelligence – 9
- Faith – 8
- Arcana – 14
You can think of the Bandit as an “invisible” class, as it prefers to use parries and backstabs to land critical hits in combat. Bandit also starts out with a decent bow and ranged stats, allowing you to pick off enemies from a distance. This class also has a high Arcane stat, making it more likely to drop items whenever you kill an enemy.
Astrologer
launch material
- short sword
- shiny pebbles
- glowing stone arch
- short sword
- astrologer staff
- Wooden scripture shield
initial attributes
- Level – 6
- Energy – 9
- Spirit – 15
- Stamina – 9
- Strength – 8
- Agility – 12
- Intelligence – 16
- Faith – 7
- Arcana – 9
A good starting class for wizards, the astrologer possesses the highest qualities of wit and intelligence. He has a short sword and shield for emergencies, but your main weapon will be a staff with all the spells you’ll be able to access from the start.
We recommend giving your Astrologer a point or two in strength and stamina, as these starting attributes are pretty weak.
Prophet
launch material
- To treat
- catch the flame
- short spear
- finger joint
- wobbly shield
initial attributes
- Level – 7
- Energy – 10
- Spirit – 14
- Stamina – 8
- Strength – 11
- Agility – 10
- Intelligence – 7
- Faith – 16
- Arcana – 10
Prophet has the highest Faith of all the classes, making him the best choice for spell users. The Prophet can heal up in the blink of an eye, and the starting Catch Flame spell is pretty powerful early game. Unlike Astrologer, Prophet has better melee stats, giving players two options for dealing with enemies.
samurai
launch material
- uchigatana
- bow
- Arrow
- Firebolt
- round shield with red tip
initial attributes
- Level – 9
- Energy – 12
- Spirit – 11
- Stamina – 13
- Strength – 12
- Agility – 15
- Intelligence – 9
- Faith – 8
- Arcana – 8
In terms of stats, Samurai is a cross between the melee-oriented Rogue and the Bandit, with its penchant for ranged combat and weapon agility. The samurai doesn’t have to rely on stealth tactics like the bandit, but also comes equipped with a longbow if you need to fight from a distance.
A prisoner
launch material
- glowing magic blade
- Alright
- glow stick
- rift shield
initial attributes
- Level – 9
- Energy – 11
- Spirit – 12
- Stamina – 11
- Strength – 11
- Agility – 14
- Intelligence – 14
- Faith – 6
- Arcana – 9
The Prisoner is a great starting option for players who aren’t sure they want to specialize. With well-balanced stats across all attributes except Faith, Prisoner gives you the ability to try out different playstyles early on without spending a lot of stat points.
Confessor
launch material
- urgent treatment
- killer focus
- Sword
- finger joint
- blue crest heat shield
initial attributes
- Level – 10
- Energy – 10
- Spirit – 13
- Stamina – 10
- Strength – 12
- Agility – 12
- Intelligence – 9
- Faith – 14
- Arcana – 9
The Confessor is primarily a melee fighter with decent defense and weight distribution, but also has access to restoration and enchantment spells. You have some freedom in choosing spells or melee, though the transition to spellcasting may not be practical due to the low intelligence of the Confessor.
scoundrel
launch material
- club
initial attributes
- 1st level
- Energy – 10
- Intellect – 10
- Stamina – 10
- Strength – 10
- Agility – 10
- Intellect – 10
- Faith – 10
- Arcana – 10
Rogue is surprisingly one of the best starting classes in the game for seasoned Souls fans, but his starting team let him down. Unfortunately, Scoundrel starts the game with a club – you will need to find armor and weapons immediately.
We don’t recommend picking this class as an absolute beginner, though it’s an excellent choice for players who are confident in their combat skills.
Elden Ring Class Stats
Each Elden Ring class comes with a predefined distribution of points across the eight in-game attributes.
Here are all the Elden Ring stats:
- Energy: Increases Max Health (HP)
- Intelligence: Increases maximum force points (FP)
- Endurance: Increases the stamina bar and increases the overall charge of the team.
- Strength: Increases the damage of force-based weapons and is used as a requirement to equip force-based weapons.
- Agility: Increases the damage of agility-based weapons and is used as a requirement to equip agility-based weapons. It can also increase spell casting speed, mitigate fall damage, and make it harder for a horse to fall off.
- Intelligence: Increases the damage of weapons that rely on Intelligence, as well as Sorcery. It is also used as a requirement to equip certain spell-based weapons and can improve magic defense.
- Faith: It is mainly used to cast spells, as well as some mage spells, and increases the damage of spells that require this build. This is also a requirement for most holy seals.
- Secret: The primary stat that governs item detection, this stat also governs Holy Protection, Vitality (instant death resistance), and can affect blood loss buildup.
Elden Ring of the Best Class
The best Elden Ring class for beginners is Samurai, Prisoner, and Astrologer.. The samurai starts with the Uchigatan, a highly agile weapon that can be upgraded to deal continuous bleed damage later on. Check out our Elden Ring builds to learn how to build this deadly class.
The Prisoner starts with an extremely powerful Magic Glintblade spell, plus a decent melee build that allows you to tackle fights both up close and from afar. Finally, Stargazer starts the game with two powerful spells capable of killing enemies from a distance.
Elden Ring Memories
Along with your class, you can also choose from nine souvenirs – starting items that can give you a boost or upgrade to help you on your first journey to the Midlands. You can start the game without remembering it, but we do not recommend doing it the first time.
Here are all nine Elden Ring Memories and their effects:
- Crimson Amber Medallion – increases maximum health
- lands between runes – use this item to get a lot of runes (about 3000)
- golden seed – used to increase the amount of Sacred Flask charges
- Fanged Imp Ashes – Summon Elden Ring used to summon two fanged imps to help you
- cracked jar – a container used as an ingredient for various crafts
- stone keyblade – This option gives you two keys that, when used, will break the imp’s seal, allowing you to reach previously locked areas.
- enchanted branch – consume FP to temporarily flip enemies to your side on hit
- boiled shrimp – This memory contains five Shrimp, and using one of them increases physical damage negation for a short time.
- Sadness Shabriri – an item that attracts and provokes enemies to attack you
Best memory for all builds: Golden Seed which instantly grants you an additional holy flask. No matter what class you’re playing, you can always use an extra healing or mana potion.
The rest of the memories can be found later in the game, but they won’t have the same impact as the gold seed at the beginning of the game. For example, the stone keyblade allows you to access heavily sealed areas with valuable treasures. early on, but you can find these keys pretty easily once you start collecting runes. The rest of the souvenir items can be useful in some combat scenarios, but they are not as useful as the additional Holy Flask.
That’s all you need to know about the Elden Ring classes. For more tips, check out our Elden Ring Ashes of War guide, our Elden Ring Golden Seeds guide, and be sure to check out what Elden Ring Major Runes are; you will need them eventually.
