[@Charok1]

As my favorite way to play is dual katanas and rolling, I think picking Partisan to get used to everything the game has (except magic) is the best way. Then move to dual weapons and probably lighter armor to dodge a lot.

[@a.m.pietroschek1972]

From your video: Evicted Stalker seemed most interesting, as the Fire Cultist, as you mentioned, is impaired by the game balance. Makes no sense to start mage, when we must play him like a warrior monk. 🤔

[@foundingfather4266]

The armor aesthetic in this game is really 10/10

[@Kumire_921]

For real

[@richardsmall8940]

demon souls so far appeals to me more then elding ring or lord of the fallen

[@V-95K]

Lord of the fallen is the best looking game out of all souls like games 10/10, because of the looks alone I decided to play this. The other souls like game I played is Sekiro and I loved Sekiro, but that one is too hard and I don’t have much time to get gud.

[@OutsidersLaptop]

I played a majority of the Souls games, but it wasn't until Elden Ring that I discovered, I *really* like hitting things with hammers. So for Lords of the Fallen, I might try doing that in-game as well.

[@ethanwintersseveredhand]

These classes look sick! Blackfeather ranger looks like a hunter out of bloodborne I love how it looks!

[@darthnope]

Yeah, and it also looks like Irvine from Berserk!

[@Carfilliot]

It looks too much like the hunter though, I mean there’s a difference between being inspired by something and flat out copying something. Game looks good though, but it sure lacks an identity of its own.

[@ethanwintersseveredhand]

@@Carfilliot you came to this conclusion by just one class that obviously pays homage to it?

[@Carfilliot]

@@ethanwintersseveredhand no, look I’m not bashing the game, I’m buying it tomorrow lol, I just honestly feel that it lacks it’s own identity. Heck, there’s many gamers calling it Dark Souls 4 because it’s so similar. It’s literally got the exact same classes as Dark Souls. Take the lamp gimmick away and you got Dark Souls. Heck, just one guys opinion mate.

[@anthonym840]

​​​​@@Carfilliotobviously the game is influenced by dark souls. But theres a diffrence in how equipment is used in the game versus darksouls. The weapon animations are also diffrent, and the spell casting is also diffrent. Really it actually does have its own identity. Because while its influence is dark souls, its played a completely diffrent way. The mechanics are its own. So saying this game is copy and paste dark souls is ignorance on their part. Any dark souls veteran can litterally look at the way two handed weapons are used in this game a spot a huge diffrence compared to dark souls. Hell i can litterally look at thos game and already spot how diffrent the ranged combat is, compared to dark souls. Its going to be completely different from how weapons feel in the souls series. Which is where its key diffrences lie.

[@UberCoolBen]

Condemned is the starting class for me, so long as I am able to acquire all of the other classes' armour and weapons in game. I love "starting from scratch" and earning everything.

[@Toph784]

I agree!

[@monkeytoes1155]

I need you to stop... one can only get so excited for a video game without having top notch content explaining all the awesome stuff pushing you over the edge to preorder the game ;) Great video, super excited for this one, thanks in part to your reviews!

[@tylervincent2559]

Kinda gay

[@nihilisticpoet]

I really think the Cultist, whilst knowingly set up to be weak in early game, has amazing potential to bloom into an absolute powerhouse. I am wanting to keep Inferno to 18, whilst buffing up the base stats + STR to make an armoured behemoth with a flaming sword.

[@AKSBSU]

Seems like no one is liking the polearm starter weapon. I was hoping those weapons would be good. But there seems to be an Inferno-scaling axe (Raw Mangler Axe) that drops early in the game with a bit of farming you can use instead, two if you want.

[@Fextralife]

Seismic Slam is deadly, but you don't get it until a ways into the game.

[@elwiwi4638]

@@AKSBSU You can get a cool axe that scales with inferno, but its in the final area (the final area of the early access demo)

[@Tyrany42]

I really like the idea of the ranged slots, almost like Kingdoms of Amalur

[@rickeykekoa023]

It sounds better than darksouls in my opinion. You don’t have to worry about crafting or buying so you can have fun with it rather than having the constant urge to save

[@robbiereed4462]

@@De1usionsofGrandeur You can buy an item that can replenish the slots. So, theoretically you could by 99 of the replenish ranged slot items and then you multiply that by the number of ranges slots you have.

[@Colonelmj]

@@De1usionsofGrandeuri think as a general rule of thumb, if it plays like a souls game, we will be speccing some into endurance and vitality for quality of life for all characters anyway.

[@KizerMoore]

I'm 100% in on Pyric Cultist and I appreciate actually showing the damage numbers in this video cause it actually only makes me more excited for how high damage pyromancy will be, cause even tho the enemies are strong to fire damage and grey numbers are popping up, its still comparable to the damage of the other ranged attacks, meaning when we get past the starting area, fire damage will be even stronger. I was concerned at first but actually seeing it now, it doesn't seem like the starting enemies being strong against fire will actually put the cultist at any real disadvantage compared to other classes, it seems more that it actually just balances them with the other's damage when you start.

[@matthewrotchford]

Can't wait for those "Beating the game with a bucket" KZbin videos. This game looks absolutely fantastic, but I'm still undecided on a starting class. Thanks for the class breakdown video!

[@smackman721]

Wow, just switched to the Orian Preacher from my Warwolf build and holy crap (pun intended) did it make a difference. I didn't die even once (story aside) until Pieta - just a crazy difference in how it plays, how it feels, and how fun it is. I was in Umbral more as I wasn't afraid of the constant ambush, the mobs seem easier to handle and more fun. Each to their own but this is awesome for me. SUPER glad I stumbled on this guide!

[@manticore3586]

So tempted to get the deluxe version so I can play as a Nazgûl the whole time but so many of the classes look great I think it would be hard to choose a bad starting class! Love the video, can’t wait for all of your Lords of the Fallen content!!

[@Noodlepunk]

I am tempted as well. Vut the dark feather ranger looks cool.

Honestly I thought about the deluxe simply because of that, but honestly no need to spend more money if your gonna unlock it later it would be cool but money is a factor in my decision so I just bought the base game

I rarely pre-order but this game just looks too good to pass up while waiting for the Elden Ring expansion. Plus, I got an 18% discount off the deluxe edition, so I paid less than the standard version.

[@surfalewi]

This page is great, no nonsense just straight into it

[@L11ghtman]

I might go Mournstead Infantry to play as a regular soldier and grab a sidesword early on to complement the spear, but honestly the knight is looking too good.

[@sean_image]

I had the same thought process using the spear for range and a short sword on the off hand for up close option as well as crowd control with the horizontal swings.

[@Kyle-ht5qg]

Same. I just love the archetype of the lowly soldier rising above to something greater

umbral magic is a combination of radiance and inferno (if the gear that's umbral is any indication, considering it requires both those), so that's like to be difficult.

@@newtonslore That’s what I’m saying. I’ve always hated how Dark Souls and Elden Ring relegated bows to being weak supplementary weapons.

[@ryguy8140]

I'm doing cultist class and boosting strength for 1 character. and doing stalker class boosting Infernal for another. might be worth using the stalker class for an agility Infernal caster since the starting area is fire resistant.

[@Kara_Pabuc]

Hollowed Knight is the best class in terms of numbers. You'll level up your endurance pass 15 with almost any circumstance. This gives Hollowed Knight an edge in almost every build (exception is magic builds=.

[@joyless95]

He wastes a point in radiance and dark crusader is better in almost every way the way I see it

[@Kara_Pabuc]

​@@joyless95 I actually did the math. In 23 possible build, Hallowed Knight pops up 11 times. Exceptions are AGI builds without STR invesment like 60 AGI or 40 AGI+20 RAD etc, Pure RAD/INF builds and Mixed INF builds. For AGI builds without STR, you go with Exiled Stalker. For any type of INF build you go with Pyric Cultist. Other than those you'll see Hallowed Knight in every build. So, if you want diversity Hallowed Knight is the best. It's like Vagabond from Elden Ring.

[@sjoerddz]

@@Kara_Pabuc Condemned not just better in any build?

[@Kara_Pabuc]

@@sjoerddz No.

[@joyless95]

@@Kara_Pabuc I dunno how you’d math it out yet since we don’t know the caps and the best mixes and considering he has points in radiance I’m confused as to how he’d be best for any builds that don’t use any magic since he has one radiance also the meta level for this game is probably going to be a lot lower since their are only 7 stats (also depends on caps which we don’t know yet)

[@morningstar2180]

This was super helpful, thank you! I decided to be brave and just dive in this time (rather than doing enough research beforehand to write a dissertation, as I did with Elden Ring xD). I picked the Ranger, which is great, but watching this I'm tempted to give the Preacher a go, missing my spell casting AND they seem like they have a decent weapon. Bring on the warrior mage 8) Note to self: next time don't be put off by the silly hat.

[@way2real364]

This game looks like it has potential - however, I really don't see any diversity in the classes other than the Pyro and Preacher... The other 7 classes are basically the same build.

Based on the first areas and bosses of the game, are any of the normal classes going to hit a wall and have to grind to RPG / over level their way through the beginning of the game because they are underpowered. Other than the class designed for suffering, that is...

[@mattm7798]

I tend to make ninja type characters(dex + magic) and unfortunately the only that class that really supports that is the condemned.

[@witcher_helms5144]

I'm not surprised that the Deluxe edition Class is one of the best (if not THE best) starting classes, but it is a bit disappointing that there's an immediate in-game advantage to spending additional money. Personally, I always make pyromancers as my first character in Dark Souls-esque games so even though it seems to be weaker out the gate, I can imagine it becoming very powerful towards the mid-to-late game.

[@CouchGuy19]

You mentioned dual wielding possibly being the way to go for status effect builds. From your time in the game, are there actually any decent status effects worth building around? Im starting with status effects in mind, but if they aren't worth it, ill probably go my typical sword and board.

[@elwiwi4638]

By the way, strength builds will have it easier early game, there's those 2 handed maces that can drop, and a mostly strength scaling shortsword

[@The-zl8en]

Also Dark Crusader can heal himself with those grenades which is super useful. Just don’t lock on and then he will throw grenade at his feet
