All Elden Ring Characters (February 2022)
While the unique style of Elden Ring is something rarely seen in RPGs, its characters can still be traced back to those found in fantasy novels. Every character is good to play, but it is recommended to find a character that suits your playstyle rather than going for the most flashy-looking one.
This list will be showing you every character in Elden Ring so you have enough information to make your choices without any regret! Elden Ring does a good job of catering to a wide variety of players. Therefore, there is always something to play. With that said, let’s head into the characters for Elden Ring!

You can build the Samurai like a hybrid class which uses a lot of physical weapons.

If you choose this class, you will start out with two incantations – Oh, Flame, and Heal. One is a damage-dealing spell while the other will heal you for a portion of your HP.
Since this is a magic-focused class, the Prophet has high Faith. Going the full Faith is the ideal way to play this class. However, you can also try out mixing incantations with it to see how it goes.
