Elden Ring Starting Class Optimizer

Find the lowest-level starting class for the exact attributes your build needs. Compare all 12 origins, including the new Tarnished Pack classes.

Game reference: App 1.17.2 · Regulation 1.17.3 · 30 Oct 2026

Set your minimum target stats

A class starts with its original stats; values below those stats cannot be removed. Extra required points determine the lowest possible level.

Why the best origin changes

Different origins begin with different stats. The optimizer computes the level required to meet your minimum attribute requirements, rather than assuming every class starts at level one. It does not make claims about the “best” weapon or playstyle.

The two Tarnished Pack starting classes are separate paid content on most platforms and are optional in this tool. Their starting attribute vectors match the independently published Origins table; this comparison is a public reference cross-check, not an original game-client capture.

Method

Origin comparison

The optimizer assumes only starting stats and level allocations, and intentionally does not rank survivability, equipment, gameplay comfort or spells.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Does the lowest-level class always play better?

No. Lowest level is a mathematical measure of points spent; starting weapons, class availability and playstyle may matter more.

Should I include extra-content classes?

Only select the extra-content option if your game edition includes those classes.
