With ten to choose from, all boosting differentattributes, there are pros and cons to each class.
If you’re not sure where to start, ourElden Ring best classguide is here to help.
Below we’ve gone through the best origins for beginners, melee fighters, and magic-users.
Whichever class you choose will also determine your startingweapons, abilities, andarmor.
Hero
Starting weaponry:Battle Axe
The Hero has the highest Strength stat of any class.
Thankfully, they also come equipped with a katana that they can happily wield for some heavy melee attacks.
Prophet
Starting weaponry:Finger Seal, SpearStarting incantations:Beast Claw, Heal, Oh Flame!
Boasting the highest base Faith stat in the game, Prophets therefore start with the best grasp of Incantations.
However, of the two magic-focussed classes, this is the one that comes into its element later on.
Metaphorically, of course.
As such, this is a great option for any melee-focused players who want to start making aStrength build.
