Which class will you choose on your quest, Tarnished?
ELDEN RING
Ready to become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between? Of course you are, so start sharpening that weapon, crack those magical fingers and get ready to be smacked around by some insanely creepy, over-the-top baddies in open-world RPG Elden Ring.
Bandai Namco and FromSoftware's exciting new title will see you exploring a brand-new world, from the creative minds of Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin, in which you'll roam by foot (or by horse this time around) mustering the strength and building up your character by defeating classic Soulsbourne-style enemies known as the 'Demigods'. Finding the Great Runes won't be easy, and choosing the right class for your playstyle will be vital as you take on the dangers that await.
But which class will you choose aa you venture into these unforgiving lands? It's time to meet the five confirmed playable classes featured in Elden Ring.

- Dexterity (12)
- Endurance (11)
- Vigor (10)
- Faith (5)

About: Brains and brawn, the Enchanted Knight class provides high-level attributes for both Intelligence and Strength. As the name suggests, this class is one for the spellcasters as well as hand-to-hand combat fighters.
Enchanted Knight's starting inventory includes two Flask of Crimson Tears and two Flask of Cerulean Tears, as well as the choice of the Winged Spear, Carian Glintstone Shield and Carian Sorcerer Staff. For magic, this class possesses the Glintstone Pebble and Carian Piercer spells.
Bloody Wolf
Level: 5
Base Attributes:
- Strength (16)
- Vigor (14)
- Endurance (12)
- Dexterity (12)
- Mind (11)

Warrior

- Dexterity (15)
- Endurance (13)
- Vigor (12)
- Strength (11)
- Mind (10)
- Arcane (10)
- Intelligence (9)
- Faith (7)
About: The more nimble member of the classes, the Warrior tops the board for holding the highest attribute stats for Dexterity and Endurance. This class holds the key to acrobatic movement, which will no doubt be great for fast pace players and evaders, as well as focusing on projectile sword storm attacks.
The Warrior's starting inventory includes two Flask of Crimson Tears and two Flask of Cerulean Tears, as well as two Scimitars and a Buckler shield.
Prophet
Level: 5
Base Attributes:
- Faith (16)
- Mind (16)
- Strength (12)
- Endurance (10)
- Vigor (9)
- Dexterity (9)
- Intelligence (8)
- Arcane (7)
About: A character that Friar Tuck would aspire to be, the Prophet Class wields strong attributes in Mind and Faith, making it a great starting point for players who want to go all-in on the magic-type attacks. It can conjure a number of Incantation spells such as Heal which replenishes health or cures ailments, as well as producing Beast Claw to inflict damage on their foes.
The Prophet's starting inventory includes two Flask of Crimson Tears and two Flask of Cerulean Tears, as well as a Club, Clawmark Seal, and Rickety Shield.
Champion
Level: 5
Base Attributes:
- Faith (15)
- Strength (14)
- Vigor (13)
- Endurance (12)
- Arcane (11)
- Mind (9)
- Dexterity (8)
- Intelligence (5)
About: Described as "ferocious fighters, who do not fear death" the Champion class is another solid choice for mage-like gamers due to its wielding a Sacred Seal, similar to the Prophet class, which allows it to produce Incantations. Rather than having one or two standout base attributes, the Champion has three to four pretty high level stats which makes it a bit more of an all-rounder.
It is the only starting class of the two classes leaning more towards magic that can use the Dragonfire from the beginning, a spell which unleashes a flaming breath on their opponents.
The Warrior's starting inventory includes two Flask of Crimson Tears and two Flask of Cerulean Tears, as well as a Battle Axe, Finger Seal, and Red Thorn Roundshield.
