There are 10 different classes in Elden Ring, but not all of them are for you, so a tier list is needed to rank them. The reason for this list is that these classes play differently and not all are suitable for beginners. Remember, there is no bad class as such, you can just get more out of it once you get used to the game. So let’s quickly take a look at this tier list of the best classes in Elden Ring.

Before we get into the list, this is just my recommendation of the best class. There are many things that go into making or breaking a character, so class isn’t the only thing that can affect your gameplay. But that doesn’t mean a class doesn’t have an impact on how you play, as your early game and playstyle will be heavily based on the class you choose. Still, if you find that your favorite class is placed in the wrong tier, you can still have fun with it. Let’s take a quick look at this list.

That wraps up this guide to the best class tier list for Elden Ring. If you plan on using the S-Tier classes above, check out our recommended builds for them for early and late game. Check out the best Warrior builds , Astrologer builds , and Samurai builds .
