Here we are going to look at the Warrior class in Elden Ring in a little more detail and find out what you will be beginning your quest with, starting stats, and a few tips to get you on your merry way.
The Warrior will be many players’ go-to character when starting off in Elden Ring. Familiarity with exactly what you will get will be comforting during those first 100 or so deaths!
If you are a fan of the Dark Souls game and loved playing as a Mercenary, then you will find yourself instantly at home with the Warrior. If the kind of character you wish to build out is a true melee battler who isn’t interested in any of the arcane forces side of things, then the Warrior is a strong place to start.
A pair of weapons and high dexterity, if a little lacking in the brains department, Elden Ring‘s Warrior will be a go-to starting point for many players who want to jump straight into the game with some a little more familiar.
Let’s now take a closer look at all the Warrior’s baseline stats and starting equipment to arm you with as much knowledge as possible for the journey ahead.
