Initially discovered by weliveinasocietyboi on the Elden Ring subreddit, Bandai Namco has finally revealed some statistics for one of Elden Ring’s upcoming new starting classes. This imposing knight, seemingly designed with strength in mind, could be an excellent choice for players who favor a strength-based playstyle. Additionally, his spellcasting stats focusing on his knuckles might make him an appealing option for competitive PvP enthusiasts looking to dominate the battlefield.
The majority of feedback about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition’s presentation at Gamescom has centered around its perceived poor performance on Switch 2, with outlets like IGN and Nintendo Life expressing concerns. However, this doesn’t bother me much; what truly excites me are the new character classes and items that will be available as a free update for PC users.
Bandai Namco recently showcased a sneak peek of one out of the two newly introduced classes on their European TikTok page. This heavy tank knight, yet to be officially named, is equipped with a robust, dark iron armor reminiscent of Tarkus from Dark Souls and wields an entirely novel curved greatsword without a shield. Here’s a breakdown of its initial stats:
[Stats shown]
Elden Ring Heavy Knight stats
- Level: 8
- Vigor: 14
- Mind: 7
- Endurance: 17
- Strength: 15
- Dexterity: 11
- Intelligence: 7
- Faith: 7
- Arcane: 9
As I gaze upon them, it’s clear their mathematical skills are lacking. Yet, when it comes to those star linebacker stats, they shine brightly! Not only do they serve as a solid foundation for a strength build, but they’re also enticing to any melee-centric min-maxers out there, including myself.
In simpler terms, a significant number of powerful weapons for dexterity-based characters demand a substantial strength boost. Given that PvP matchmaking primarily occurs below level 200, each stat point becomes crucial. The comments under weliveinasocietyboi’s post are filled with speculations that this knight character could emerge as the latest popular choice or “meta” pick in the game.
Eagerly anticipating the data of the other fresh class named “Knight of Ides,” as revealed in the Japanese preview earlier this year. Not just equipped with the Milady light greatsword from the DLC right off the bat, but their armor set appears to be a secret formula for fashion-savvy souls players. Regrettably, we haven’t been given a release date yet for the Tarnished Edition and its accompanying free update on other platforms.
