Where do you start when choosing one of the 10 Elden Ring classes? It's a daunting prospect, especially if you’ve never played a Souls game before. Picking from the wide range of character types is extremely difficult, but it's absolutely vital for starting off on the right foot. Landing on the right one can really make the first few hours a lot easier.
But it’s not all bad news. Unlike in other RPGs, choosing a class in Elden Ring doesn’t lock you into a particular style of gameplay. You can invest in different attributes as you level up, redefining your character’s strengths and weaknesses. Each Elden Ring class excels at a key skill, though, and whilst you can re-spec your character as you progress through the Lands Between, picking a class that fits the way you want to play from the outset does help massively.
