Elden Ring best starting class calculator
Enter the stats your build needs. The calculator shows which starting class gets there at the lowest level.
Enter the final value you want for each stat.
Best starting class
—
| Class | Start level | Final level | Wasted points |
|---|
Keepsakes do not change stats, so they are not counted.
How to use
- Enter the target value for each stat.
- See the best class at the top.
- Compare all ten classes in the table.
How it works
Your level always equals the sum of your stats minus 79. Each class starts with different stats, so the best class is the one whose starting stats you would raise anyway. Points above your target in a stat are wasted.
Frequently asked questions
Which class is best for a strength build?
Usually Hero or Vagabond, but it depends on all your stats. Enter your targets to see the exact answer.
Is Wretch ever the best class?
Wretch starts at level 1 with 10 in every stat, so it wins when your build keeps several stats at 10 or below.
