Choosing the Best Starting Class for Demon's Souls (2020)

Choosing the Best Starting Class

In Souls games the starting classes will not lock you into a particular style of play for the entire game. Regardless of who you initially pick you will be able to build your character however you choose later. All of the equipment on display at the character select screen will also eventually all be made available to you. If you want an easier start then it is recommended that you pick the Royalty character. Royalty is a particularly powerful class for getting through the starting areas of the game due to their magic power and the Soul Arrow ability. They are also equipped with a small Buckler shield and a Rapier which makes them effective during close range combat. If you are new to the game you should consider choosing the Soldier, this class is basically a tank which will enable you to soak up more hits while you becomme familiar with the game. The soldier comes equipped with a broadsword for close-range combat and a short spear which is useful for when you need to be cautious.
