Even those who managed to play Elden Ring‘s CNT for all 15 hours have come to find that there was even more content that went undiscovered. Though some facets of Limgrave are going to be altered for release, there was an incredible amount of content packed into the playable area. Those lucky enough to receive an invitation to the CNT were able to spend roughly 15 hours exploring every facet of this area, provided they could play during all five, three-hour time slots. The Bloody Wolf is the Elden Ring class that has seemingly caught most people’s attention at this early stage of the game (largely due to its awesome name), and it seems to most closely resemble the Knight from Dark Souls 3 in a surprising number of respects.The CNT let players explore roughly half of the game’s first area, a region known as Limgrave. Still, you’re clearly sacrificing basic magic and general mobility when you pick this class, so we’ll see just how valuable those things end up being. That means that they’ll actually be able to balance their merciless melee attacks with powerful incantations, which could end up making them a remarkably capable combat class. While it’s easy to imagine choosing a Champion, going into battle with a giant weapon (or two), and withstanding all but the most devastating blows, it’s also worth knowing that Champions have the second-highest base Faith stat of any of the classes. These Barbarians of the Elden Ring world are fairly easily compared to Dark Souls 3‘s Warriors, which is really just another way of saying that they’re obviously meant to be brutes who emphasize power and durability above all else. That could make this a much more “focused” class than the ones we just talked about. While that stat seemingly doesn’t have much of an impact on its ability to use summons and incantations, it does mean that it will struggle with the game’s glinstone sorceries. One thing I am a bit curious about regarding this class is its lower Intelligence stat. That could end up being a significant handicap if that stat ends up being as important as some say it is.
However, it is very much worth noting that this class has very low Faith, which is seemingly required to use some of the game’s most powerful and impressive incantations. I can honestly see this classes’ apparent versatility making it an ideal PvE option. The slight hit it takes in Vigor, Endurance, and Dexterity compared to some alternatives is seemingly more than made up for by its still respectable base numbers in those categories as well as its shocking Strength and Intelligence stats. What’s a little surprising is just well-equipped this class seems to be from a stats perspective. The Enchanted Knight looks like an absolutely fascinating class that is somewhat similar to Dark Souls 3‘s Herald class (if we’re sticking with that game for comparisons) but is very much its own thing.Īs the name suggests, the Enchanted Knight is clearly intended to be able to balance magic and melee while also being quite sturdy. Actually, this class is strikingly similar to Dark Souls 3‘s Mercenary class in many ways. Most notably, this Warrior starts with two Scimitar and a shield whereas the Dark Souls 3 Warrior had an ax and a shield. There are some distinct differences between this Warrior and the one we saw in Dark Souls 3. WarriorĮlden Ring‘s Warrior class is probably not what you’d expect it to be based on some of FromSoftware’s previous games. While many fans suspect that we’ve only gotten a peek at the game’s final roster of character classes, here is a breakdown of the major differences between the Elden Ring classes that we’ve seen so far. While your choice of character class won’t be the final word about what kind of character you end up playing in this game, it is going to lay the foundation for this title’s role-playing possibilities. Well, that appears to be the case with Elden Ring. We’ll obviously be focusing on the last one of those today, though it is worth noting that your choice of character class in FromSoftware’s previous games that offered them usually ended up dictating the “pace” of the rest of the experience. Elden Ring‘s ongoing network test is not only a great chance for some fans to play this game a little early but a chance for those who don’t want to go into the game completely blind to get a little more information about the open-world RPG’s core components such as its stats, equipment, and characters classes.
