Before we get started, we’re approaching these rankings from the perspective of offering guidance on what we consider to be the most appropriate starting point for each playstyle. That’s because there isn’t necessarily a best class in Elden Ring, given that each is essentially a foundation to begin a build according to your own preference.
Also, keep in mind that you have total control over your stat allocation throughout the game and are not limited in which attributes you level up. For example, you could start as an Astrologer but eventually, turn your build into a tanky knight with huge amounts of strength.
We wouldn’t recommend it since you would simply be making the game harder and more tedious for yourself, but it’s totally possible. Eventually, your starting class will become irrelevant, and you can always respec your character if you want to.
So, again, these are just recommendations as to which are the best Elden Ring classes to start your adventure across The Lands Between depending on which style you are going for. Let’s start with the basics:
Best Elden Ring Classes for Newcomers
Best Elden Ring Classes for Veterans
Best Classes for Magic Builds
Best Elden Ring Classes for Melee Builds
That should give you a decent overview of the best Elden Ring classes, ranked by which is suitable for each playstyle. For more useful tips and guides on the game, search Twinfinite or check out our Elden Ring wiki.
