Elden Ring doesn’t leave you in the dark when creating a base character. While each gives you a vague idea of which build they’re best suited for, it’s incredibly hard to tell if you’re a new player. The starting classes and their stats are as follows.
All starting classes at Elden Ring
| Class | Level | Vigor | Mind | Endurance | Fortaleza | Skill | Intelligence | Fe | Esoteric |
| Astrologer | 6 | 9 | 15 | 9 | 8 | 12 | sixteen | 7 | 9 |
| Bandit | 5 | ten | 11 | ten | 9 | 13 | 9 | 8 | 14 |
| Confessor | ten | ten | 13 | ten | 12 | 12 | 9 | 14 | 9 |
| hero | 7 | 14 | 9 | 12 | sixteen | 9 | 7 | 8 | 11 |
| Prisoner | 9 | 11 | 12 | 11 | 11 | 14 | 14 | 6 | 9 |
| Prophet | 7 | ten | 14 | 8 | 11 | ten | 7 | sixteen | ten |
| Samurai | 9 | 12 | 11 | 13 | 12 | 15 | 9 | 8 | 8 |
| Hobo | 9 | 15 | ten | 11 | 14 | 13 | 9 | 9 | 7 |
| Guerrero | 8 | 11 | 12 | 11 | ten | sixteen | ten | 8 | 9 |
| Unfortunate | 1 | ten | ten | ten | ten | ten | ten | ten | ten |
The best character base is subjective based on the type of build you want to create for this game. If you want a more grueling challenge than anything you’ve done before, give Wretch a try. This course is a bad start and will cause you pain. However, the rest of the classes offer some sort of advantage in one area or another.

For example, the Astrologer class is great for those who want to specialize in magic, while the Prophet is better for those who want to use weapons of Faith. If you want to focus on using physical weapons with attacks melee, choose the Hero, Prisoner, Samurai or Warrior class. All of these have stats that allow you to use swords, shields, and other advanced weapons much earlier in the game. The bandit’s main strength is dexterity, which means you’ll have to play more like a thief or a thief, and the Confessor is a good base for the Weapons of Faith if that’s the path you want to take.
What is the best base character for beginners?

The best general base character for beginners in Elden Ring is the Confessor. It has an excellent starting level of 10, the highest you can get, and has enough double-digit stats, far better than what other classes offer in terms of ability breadth. With the Confessor class, you’ll get a Finger Seal, which lets you cast enchantments, Urgent Heal, which is a healing enchantment, Blue Crest Heater Shield, and Assassin’s Approach.
The armor the Confessor starts out in is good for getting close to enemies and tearing them to pieces, and you can use this healing enchantment to add a bit more time to combat when your Crimson Tears are low. Assassin’s Approach silences your footsteps, which is perfect for sneaking past enemies and dealing massive damage from behind. All in all, this makes the Confessor a great base character, and you can build on whatever you want to gain abilities and level up. However, your best bet would be to keep pressing Mind and Faith, both of which are stats that will boost your abilities with enchantments. You can always respect your character if you don’t like the stats you end up with later in the story.
