As part of our complete Elden Ring guide , in this piece we focus on the different character classes you can choose from. There are a total of 10, and while each has its own pros and cons, as well as various pieces of gear that come standard, we think this is an important choice, especially for players who don’t have too much experience in other From Software titles. We recommend the best one to start with .

Miserable class in Elden Ring
This class is equivalent to the wanderer from Dark Souls. That is, it starts with level 1 and has all the attributes equal to level 10. It is the favorite selection of those players who want to fully customize their character from the first moment. He barely wears armor—or clothes—and has a club as a weapon. It is an interesting option, but not recommended for users with little experience, since the first fights with him will be harder than usual.
What is the best class to start playing in Elden Ring?
Although Elden Ring offers the possibility of developing our character with total freedom, something that we can take advantage of to change the style of play at any time, the initial class is what determines the way of fighting during the first hours. They are all valid and there is no bad one, but we bet to start with those that prioritize physical statistics such as vigor, stamina, strength or dexterity. So we recommend you choose the Samurai .
The best thing about this class is that it comes standard equipped with both good armor and a weapon that all Dark Souls fans know very well: the Uchigatana, a very fast katana capable of causing the enemy to bleed after accumulating several hits . . Also, as soon as you play for a couple of hours and start upgrading weapons, you will realize that it is very easy to level up quickly.
Another interesting alternative is the Hero , thanks to his high levels of stamina and strength, as well as carrying a powerful battle ax as his starting weapon.
