- Picking the right starting class for your build can be quite the choice, but what if the starting class WAS your build? What if you were to play Elden Ring with ONLY that class' equipment and nothing more? Check out this samurai starting gear only build using the Uchigatana, the Red Thorn Roundshield, and the Land of Reeds Set to cut down all remembrances in the lands between... even Malenia!

Love how its not a question of if Samurai is better, just by how much.
I mean, we could be surprised
not the best stats, just the best gear
Vagabond is right there with it for default gear. Better armor, a 100% physical block shield, longsword with square off which is better than unsheath for staggering, and a halberd as well.
I've done playthroughs with both and the vagabond seems easier a lot of the time just because square off staggers a lot more frequently than unsheath and has a lower FP cost which makes up for the missing bleed.

Samurai, Vagabond, Prisoner.
The 3 best to start, though Astrologer and Wretch (for customization and cheap leveling) are cool too.
Samurai definitely is the best if you are doing starter equipment only, but Wretch is unironically the best normally. Because you start at level 1 with 10 in every stat, this gives you 2 huge advantages:
1: If you reset your stats because you want to switch builds, you have an even 10 so you don't have to worry about wasting points in line dexterity if you're making a magic build (just an example)
2: Because you start at level 1, compared to classes who start at level 6 you can choose what you want to put those 6 levels into. This is easy because you have 6 nearly free levels, they are so cheap you'll have enough runes by the time you unlock Torrent.
Lastly, it also has war cry, which is just a really damn good ash for melee builds. You deal good poise damage 2 handing the club and you are light rolling. Honestly, the only downsides are:
No armor
Club isn't as good as katana and bow (obviously)
If you wanna use a dex build, samurai's the best but for anything else I think Wretch is by far the best choice.
you should have used the katana
Idk I think he should’ve used the katana
No he should've used the katana not the katana
Nah bro they nerfed that I say he should have used the katana
The katana has better stats tho
I haven’t seen the new katana buffs I was hoping he’d use the katana
"I have the balls of a lion and a lifetime ban from the Minnesota Zoo" is probably my favorite line you've said since "Today we're building Spyro the Dragon".
I rather like that one
My favorite is yoj guys get a little upset with my liberal jokes in the for biden lands but loved my dragon dildo jokes
A spell that let Torrent breath fire WOULD be cool as hell! Lol
Since I have subscribed, I have found the location of the ritual sword talisman and the dagger talisman. I can confirm that my crits do deal more damage.
Those are great talismans!
Doesn't make a lot of sense for Erdtree Avatars to be resistant to slash. If a tree is weak to fire, it should also be weak to getting chopped down, right?
IRL slashing blades are effective against skin and leather/cloth, but wood/bark is a lot tougher. Not on par with metal, but much harder than any animal hide.
What trees are weak to is chopping, which is a different motion - slashing draws the blade along the cut, chopping drives a wedge directly inward. What Erdtree avatars should really take more damage from is axes.
Name an axe that does slash damage
Chopping has always been represented by the Standard physical damage type in Souls. Straight cutting oriented swords should really do Slash but eh.
well slashing isnt chopping, its slashing.
if you took a knife and pressed the blade against… meat, and basically slid the edge of that blade along the meat youd be slashing, creating large open cuts on the surface.
if you took a cleaver and just brought it down on the meat youd be chopping or cutting it, thats “standard” or “normal” damage in DS, just severing things by making straight deep cuts.
Yeah, axes being bad at Tree feels wrong
I'm really looking forward to the Prophet class run, personally. Catch Flame is incredible and it is a fast short ranged spell so Tulok'll probably have fun with it. The Heal spell the class starts with is also pretty good and the Short Spear as well will be quite helpful. And I guess you'll also be able to use the Rickety Shield for the memes.
P.S. The Samurai was still amazing even if things like the Warrior Jar Shard for 10% extra Ash of War damage and the Millicent's Prosthesis (for the majority of the run) weren't even used.
Erdtree avatars are cowering in fear at the thought
I kept thinking about going to do it, but my bones told me THEN NEXT one would be it. And it wasnt
the samurai who can dunk a basketball imagery is giving me every sliver of creativity in my nearly rotted body
Love your challenge runs man they're so fun and creative
Thank you, but I really did just start as a Samurai and didn't stop
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 ahah that's true ig I just meant your runs in general I've been bingeing them lately 😂 your commentary is very entertaining 🙏
The "oh no!" When the calvary knight rides off the bridge is always funny.😂
I'm so shocked! They should put a rail up there
Uchi's Unsheathe was the only thing that made me able to beat Malenia with an RL1 character. So much stance damage, combined with occasional jumping R2s.
Not sure if this is where to put this, but I think that a night rider run with the nightrider glaive would be pretty fun
And all Bosses I can fight on horseback have to be on horseback
And plays the theme to the TV show the whole time .
I personally watch these for both the enjoyable political takes AND the bad dragon jokes.
Good, because both are just going to keep coming.
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
Jokes about dragons that are bad or Bad Dragon(tm) jokes?
Which one do you plan to do next? Hero or bandit could be cool, and I foresee “holding out for a hero” being played at least once.
Patreon is leaning confessor
Bro... that bridge joke is a... yeah... damn. Future sight is strong with this Samurai.
"If a boss tries to gank you, gank them back!!" Words to live by in elden ring. They give you tons of tools to do it too.
Samurai gear is also easily purchasable from Caelid Merchant in far north who also sells infinite poison arrows for those that want different class but also the gear to buy.
Love the challenge runs like this.
Thank you!
The most impressive thing with your videos is the commentary ! Top tier commentary for over half an hour !! There is a lot of work in the making of your content ! 👏👏
The Samurai Class is the Genichiro DLC we always wanted. is even has the black imortal blade
Hell yeah
Only slightly annoyed we didn’t get a time for beating Elden beast, I’m sure it would’ve been an easy S tier if all remembrances wasn’t counted, but eh, what can you do, and these starting class challenges are a super fun concept (I started with Bandit for my second playthrough and *oh god* I pray for your sanity on that one)
Learn to parry or die basically
Was this run not streamed? Surely some madlad would have timestamped it for him. Damn.
I always use my work computer to search your suggestions :)
Hopefully you have a cool boss
Been doing the same challenge lately.
I have Vagabond and Warrior finished. Used only their starting gear but allowed myself to use a different weapon of the same type.
So for Vagabond I used the Dragon Halberd.
And for Warrior I used dual curved swords blood build.
No change in armor.
It’s super fun.
Time for some katana rama
It makes me so angry that he didn't use the bow against Malenia while waiting for the rot flower to fade away. It's free damage!
Oh that's a good call, but I don't wanna get arrows
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Holy shit, didn't expect you to reply. I'm a big fan, have been since Building Character.
Oh my GOD man! That subscriber to non-subscriber ratio is the highest I HAVE EVER SEEN! You are doing something very right !!
Literally just finished another vid and saw this upload. Niceee
Immaculate timing
There is no damage penalty early game for radagon's soreseal! +5 in vigor more than counteracts the 15% damage penalty (at 20 vigor the +5 gives you +22% HP, capping off at around 37 vigor after which you get less than 15% HP for 5 points in vigor). So for early levels, everything else is essentially free stats, even the extra health.
This should be a series
your videos make my week, you are an amazing creator, keep it up
Thanks, we will do what we must

apparently doing the dragon toes search gets you a food dish called dragon toes
Sounds tasty
I tried doing a run like this where I allowed myself to use other weapons within the same class as the starting gear. I immediately ran all the way to Volcano Manor to get the Serpentbone Blade. It’s a shame I never finished the run since trying to do the assassination quests that underleveled was rough
The PS2 Spider-Man 3 bomb qte failure caught me so off guard that I had near death comedy experience with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Absolutely goated stance on Spirit Summoning, true Giga-Chads use what's given to them. Godspeed you glorious, handsome man.
"They make the game easier" and guns make bloodborne easier, but are you bad if you use them?
I gotta say, the "google X on your work computer" are my favorite jokes from this series.
Oh they're the best!
You really help my ego and make me feel good about my Elden ring skill, appreciate ya
The balls of a lion line got me
Keep up the good content my man
Hey, if you insist
17:25 Now I’m going to have Celine in my head every time I need that Gelmir somber 6.
IT IS MY DAY OF LUCKY!
"I hate little bald boys" came out of nowhere and now I can't go back to how I was before. Marvelous.
I love funky slants not registering as “grounded” when you land. It makes for some of the goofiest-looking deaths imo.
One of the best jokes that you do is the search weird stuff in our work computer. It's just so funny and i love it, hahaha
yo, just so you know. anytime you say "look up *so and so* on your work computer to find out more" it makes my day!
You should actually do a Knights Calvary run, pure mounted combat when possible
I love how he specifically says to look up the things on your work computer
The appropriately timed Celine Dion song reference made my day.
0:52 The single most based gaming opinion of the past decade 💯😫
Elden ring playthrough where you eradicate all class enemies irl in minecraft
Game changer meme , you really are the best youtube creator
Looked up extra juicy dragon toes on my work computer. Came back with a spicy jalapeño popper recipe! Thanks Tulok! The office is gonna love these at the next cookout!
Oh, so the usual speed run, just without the serpant hunter?
This is basically every UA-cam eldennring challenge run
In theory you could have run an icy-hot on Malenia by using the bow with frostbone arrows, but I suppose you figured that the change in arrow type violates the starting gear rule.
My first playthrough played the whole game as the samurai. Good times
Enjoying the content Tulok. Keep up the great work.
my favorite youtuber straight up !!
Thanks, I try
looked up dragon toes was not disappointed actually surprised even
Nice Game Changer clip :)
I actually did this... although I also got the naginata too because I want a spear like a historical samurai.
Making my day yet again my man
It's what we do around here
It's not my favorite starting class, but it's the starting class that's most well-equipped for all the situations you'll encounter for a long time.
"Google 'repeating jokes get stale quickly' on your work computer"
we are entering a new era of meta jokes
Meta jokes? Have you ever met a girl?
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 yes, I am she
Hey guys, did you know that there is a secret starting class that lets you get the Land of Reeds armor (light weight and great non physical but decent physical) and the Ushi Katana right from the start of the game?
It also has the long bow......... (yay).
Of course a ghost comes back to life when you kill them. It’s Kingdom Hearts rules.
I do love me some Kingdom Hearts
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Hey, looks like you’ve got one of those impersonator robots in the other comments here.
Also, big same on kingdom hearts. I hope someday we can see you and mango continue that series playthrough.
The Repeating joke joke got me to laugh. I've been binging these runs and quite enjoy this.
i subscribed and my crits do in fact have way more damage thx
Why not shoot Malenia with your longbow when she was using the flower? You started out with a range option, and I think it might've been easier if you got that extra bit of damage in.
The Sekiro DLC goes crazy
It's so big!
My brother in Marika. You have a longbow. USE IT.
I had no idea that you could enter the Erdtree after killing godskin duo 😅 I’ve been wondering around just exploring not really sure what to do next! (Of course I’m not strong enough for Maliketh yet so idk if entering the red tree matters for me yet)
Can't wait for the prophet version where you incinerate the entire lands between
Catch flame is hot as hell
Of the 600,000 bridges in the US, 80,000 need to be replaced and 45,000 are structurally deficient (in poor condition).
Not sure about the condition of the US's dragon-shaped dongs though.
Oh they are SOLID
I always love seeing Game Changer drops, that show needs more love!
The Virgin Samurai vs the Chad Vagabond Knight
Vagabond knight does sound fun
Regarding a Frost Fire combo with Samurai Starting Gear, they start with Fire Arrows.
Have you shot an arrow at Melania?
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 Yes, I've killed her with the Serpent's Bow. Solo? Lol no, waste of arrows. Alongside Ashes or NPCs? A lot more doable, but still awful. Just presenting it as an option lol
Uchigatana #2 is in a ruin in limgrave... Idk why people don't know this or ignore this. Or bring it up if it is not an option.😮
30:40 blood flame blade (1 on offhand) and chill mist (2 on main)
Get both debuffs and reset the chill one periodically.
I know you dont normally beat the game solo, but it would be cool to see you do an NG+ run solo. Malenia would be a mightmare, but shes the easiest she can be in NG+

Good Luck With your ChallengeRun.❤
Thank you, we need all the luck
@31:50 If you don't do a perfect parry, you block the attack; since most parrying shields don't have 100% physical resistance and piss have poor guard boost, this converts to a bit of damage and a huge chunk of stamina lol
Brass can be a parry shield (golden parry, etc.)
Looking forward to the no-intentionally-dodging-damage run.
The reason flame art is a thing is for people who use frenzie bcs it scales with faith🙃
Tried to make a Last Samurai build, but the sprinting animation was inadequate and there wasn't a "middle tooth" option.
At least you can be a white saviour and get indentured into a weird Sci-Fi cult that takes an impossible amount of effort to "needle" your way out of...
Could call that: Task Difficult
Ah the Ramen build is certainly becoming a gaming classic, not because the oriental falchion is favoured by our lord Miyazaki, no bias there.
Elden’s Ring Twice almost killed me 💀
I'm just happy you lived
UA-cam actually unsubbed me and I didn't realize until I checked because of the intro 👍
I love samurai class the katana is soooo good unsheathe is amazing
Love the Wayne's World reference
10 secs in and I think the samurai has a katana
I think so also
Are you sure? I don't think they have a katana, the have a Katana instead
They also have a katana
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 really? I didn't notice
learn what every other human being has learned: to dodge waterfowl dance! run back from the first big part, dodge forward, then left.
Learn what every other person on earth has and keep your condescending bullshit to yourself :3
Yeah, my mom loves dodging the waterfowl dance. Everyone can beat All Remembrances in under 10 hours, and I'm bad at dodging the attack nobody else thinks is hard.
Yes the dragon gives you a ton of levels, but it also screws with your matchmaking, the Soreseal doesn't, so for Co-Op (for Rune Arcs) or PvP in the early game the Soreseal will serve you better than killing Greyoll. Also I tend to kill Greyoll later on as I don't feel like trivializing things early on with a ton of levels.
On a side-note I see Vagabond being pretty good, given that you have two different melee weapons, a decent shield and a solid armor set.
Yeah, but co op and pvp not fun
@@goeijmejisju1510 I know that, I was more pointing out why there's value in Radagon's Soreseal. Given how often it gets shat on in these videos, I was a recent convert to the thing in the early game.

Did I see you use a dropout gif? Tulok for dimension 20 side quest?
It's true my crits went from 400 to well over 800 instantly.
I want to do my first challenge run (I’m on my 5th playthrough) and idk who or where I should ask so I’ll just ask here. What challenge run should I do first?
Vigor only! Your challenge is to make damage happen without investing stats in it. But it also gives you plenty of practice to learn boss patterns
Astrologer is my favorite class
I've searched "repeat jokes get stale quickly" and got a link to back to you, is that good or bad?
To save the longbow´s honour, it actually has a lot of utility, especially early game - for those who don´t just skip the early levels by murdering sleeping dragons : p
But seriously, it´s great for tactical play, can easily thin out some groups and snipe-kill some annoying as fuck enemies (mostly imps) along the way. Just hot-swap that thing in, it´s become my standard secondary weapon on most builds. Plus I poison-arrow cheese the twin lions at Radahns crib because I hate their movements even when fighting a single one. Ranged won´t murder you bosses, true, but it has very handy uses, if you are considering playing DISHONOURABLE, that is, hahah.
Yeah, I'm too cool for that
beast torch does not work on bats unfortunately... idk why you'd say that at that point of the game.
There's only one question I wanna ask, does the samurai have a katana though ?
