    I am a gamer but I haven’t experienced a lot of souls like, I probably will never finish this game, however, for the small price of £35 I could not say no. I like your video! It was informative and in depth and you didn’t waste time giving extortionate amounts of details on each class, I think I’ll go with the vagabond as my first character. I love the idea of making myself in game and running around like an old school knight with just my battle IQ and trusted sword & shield!

      @FoxtrotGold69 Whether you are an experienced or new player to the Souls genre, Elden Ring is an amazing game, and for many reasons a great entry point to the genre as it has a lot of mechanics that can make the game more manageable of you find yourself struggling.
      I genuinly beleive that Elden Eing offers some of the best value for money in the market.
      Just take your time with it, enjoy tye experience, and most importantly play it how YOU want to. Don't let anyone else stop you from using certain mechanics or builds or weapons. It's your first playthrough and that experience is a one of a kind so make sure you enjoy it the way you want!

    Wretch class was my first blind playthrough- best starting classs as even stat spread- every weapon or item of armor found may be useful plus once you know the game well enough you can easily run and collect armor a weapons to create your own unique 'starter class'

    • @libralonix
      @libralonix  5 місяців тому +4

      Ooof as someone that did a blind first playthrough too, hats off to you for going with Wretch, bold move!
      The wretch is a great class for the reasons you mentioned, but it can make the early game a bit of a slog, especially if your not too used to soulslikes.
      What's your plan for the DLC, do you have a build in mind?

      @@libralonix hey thanks for the speedy response- I made a new character months ago when DLC was first announced started as a wretch- currently level 170... Will probably get to 200 before DLC- I chose to go Dex-Arcane. I maxed out my arcane at around 80 purely for the item discovery bonus- so this character is to collect every single armor and weapon drop possible. I also have a level 430 character- my main. But I actually haven't touched elden ring in the past few months- been enjoying Lords of the Fallen

      I'm doing a similar thing in trying to obtain as much loot as possible prior to the DLC, i was originally aiming for a level 80 character, but I've since exceeded that and i genuinely think level 120+ is going to be the best spot.

    I have been obsessed with the starting class. I'm only 120h into the game and this is my conclusions, but I'm looking for either affirmation or corrections on these if you wouldn't mind stopping to read.
    Warrior: Main melee DPS and Keen Ash of war mastery. Does well to punish large enemies with big recovery times. Best used as a Cooperative Finger if the host is a Confessor or Vagabond.
    Samurai: Attacks at every single opening possible making it the most consistent dps of all classes, never needing to pause for a break due to its high stamina. Sacrifices versatility of the Vagabond class in exchange for higher DPS and an immediate ranged option. Struggles against heavy armored opponents due to the lack of staggering power and enemies immune to bleed. A contender arcane for amplifying it's bleed katana and dragon spells, but not much use for its discovery since it's starting armery is all you need.
    Vagabond: Highest HP of all classes. Widest range arsenal. Best suited against human and middle sized bosses. This class is most likely to do the most exploring as they can equip armaments to deal with anything.
    Bandit: easily amasses resources from dispatching lackies and has dragon sorceries for bosses. He can opt to go into the caves anyway to quickly max out multiple weapons for the highest early game power spike.
    Hero: Highest stance damage of all classes. Not quite as tanky as the Vagabond. Deals with above human sized bosses. Can make space for other cooperative fingers to recover through repeated stance breaking and parrying. Excellent at absorbing sorceries and incantation damage. A surprising arcane stat that hints, like the bandit, may be possible to use dragon spells together with their brute force.
    Confessor: The ultimate all around class; the widest arsenal and adaptability. Bloody Finger specialist after the holy immunity cut off in the mid game.
    Prophet: Ultimate support Cooperative Finger. High burst damage and heals. Can choose incantations that bosses are weak to. No incantations are above their reach.
    Prisoner: superior combat advantage in a 1v1, high colosseum ranking. Has trouble dealing with multiple targets and opponents with high poise. One man damage machine.
    Astrologer: Backline caster. Highest sustainable ranged DPS of all classes. Will not survive the lands between without the use of spirits, summons, and Cooperative Fingers.

      @libralonix  2 місяці тому +1

      This is a very wthought out summery of all the starter classes and a great perspective. The only real issues i see are your absolute statements about certain classes. E.g. the astrologer won't survive without spirits, summons or coop fingers. A lot of these statements aren't true and paint a very false picture of each class.
      The most important thing with every class is that they don't really matter, any class can do anything and within a few hours can be levelled to match the abilities of any other class. Class selection is very much just a kick start to the build you want, but again any build/class can take on and succeed at all aspects of Elden Ring, and imo this is the most important bit of information to convey to people when struggling to pick a class ✌️😎

      @peaceofmind5819 2 місяці тому +1

      @@libralonix I said that about the astrologer for two reasons. 1, lowest HP of all classes. 2, it is the first origin to meet their fate, the vendor after Godrick has their armor set as he says, "don't ask where I got them from."
      I was speaking from a canonical standpoint for the most part, just like picking up the duel blades (and talisman) as the Confessor or the great axe (and talisman) as the Hero and so on. I'm planning to make my first Elden Ring video talking about these kind of things as I gain more experience and discover more backstory to each origin. I'm most certainly going to have a ball with the Bandit becoming a dragon kind at some point 🔥 not to mention using the Samurai origin's Katana (I don't feel like butchering it's name with how exhausted I am after work 😵‍💫)
      In any case, I thank you for reading and humoring me! I'll be sticking around to see what comes next for your channel. Best of luck to you!

      If you prefere duel welding swords then the Warrior is a great choice as it starts with two scimitars.

      So as i mentioned in the video, the main takeaway is that it does NOT matter what class you pick, it is just a starting point and any class can soon be melded into any other class, so don't worry about making the wrong choice, there arent any!
      Regarding your preference, "a balance of all" well, any class can do that, as mentioned above. But if you want to start of with a good variety of gear to do both casting and melee then i would recommend going with the Prisoner or Astrologer as they both start with Melee and Magic weapons, so you can use both from the very start!

    Can you explain what arcane,faith and mind is

    • @libralonix
      @libralonix  3 місяці тому +1

      Sure thing, these are all stats that can be increased based on the following:
      Mind:
      - This is how much FP (Focus points) you have, and is essentially your magic stamina, different spells/skills require an amount of FP to use, and the Mind stat determines how big your FP bar is (its the blue bar under your health bar).
      - This can be replenished by sitting at a site of grace, or by consuming your Flask of Cerulean Tears.
      - Also, the Mind stat affects your Focus, which improved your resistances to Madness and Sleep effects.
      Arcane:
      - It effects any weapons that have a scaling with Arcane, which in turn scales the amount of blood loss, poison, sleep or madness build-up that the weapon may have
      - This stat affects various things like your Discovery stat (which determines the chance at which items will drop from enemies)
      - It increases your holy defense
      - Increases vitality which increases resistance to Death Blight
      Faith:
      - The faith stat is mainly used to increase the effectiveness of Incantation damage, so the higher your faith the more damage your incantations will do, and likewise for any weapons that have a faith scaling
      It is also worth noting that you will need to reach certain levels in order to wield the different weapons, so keep an eye out for the Stat Req section on each weapon.
      Hope this helps!

      If you are completely new to the soulsborne genre, theres a few broad things i would recommend:
      - Take your time
      - If you struggle, then explore somewhere else
      - The game can be played with any class, any weapon, with summons, with guides, with help so do whatever you need to in order to enjoy the game!!!
      Basic tips:
      - Speak to every NPC and keep talking to them until they repeat themselves
      - Upgrade your weapon as soon as you can
      - Level up your character as soon as you can
      - The more vigor/HP you have the more hits you can tank, the longer you will survive, the longer you have to learn enemy patterns
      Most importantly...... HAVE FUN!

    And samurai maybe for a bleed uchigatana build, idk if I I’m disadvantage if I don’t do samurai bleed build instead of vagabond/confessor.
    Can any class become what you want?

    • @libralonix
      @libralonix  5 місяців тому +5

      Firstly, any class can become whatever you want, after about an hour or so you will easily have built enough runes to level any character to match any of the starters. The main difference is the starter gear, but again all this is available in game too, so the world really is your oyester, it just depends on how efficient you want to be with your levels as to whether you pick a class specifically for a certain build.
      The samurai and uchi build is very effective and a lot of players consider bleed builds to be OP, so it's not a bad choice at all!
      if you want to pick confessor for the Armor that's more than ok, Souls fasion is more than prevalent in Elden Ring too!

      Take your time, this is a large game and there is no right or wrong way to play. If your dying a lot then level up vigor, and then level it uo some more! All weapons are viable, just make sure you check which stats the damage output scales with, and then level up that stat. If in doubt, ask questions, Google, use guides, it's better to have a guided playthrough that you enjoy than a blind playthrough that you don't! Using any of the in game mechanics is fine, if you want to use a summon to help with a boss fight, then go for it, don't let anyone else tell you how best to play your game!
