Elden Ring lets players choose their class at the beginning of the game and play the game however they want, which is one of the perks of an open-world RPG. This guide will take you through the process of how to play the Warrior class in Elden Ring.
What are the Best Strategies and Weapons for the Warrior in Elden Ring
Elden Ring has several classes you can choose from, and the Warrior is just one of them. You will begin with two weapons and you can use a Power Stance from the onset of the game. Effectively using the Warrior class is a skill that you may want to learn to quickly advance in the storyline.

As your Dexerity will be higher than your Strength at the beginning of the game, you will need to focus on the lower stat so that you have the ability to wield the powerful weapons in the game which have Strength requirements. It’s a good idea to balance out all the stats such as Vigor, Health, Endurance and Stamina. Vigor is a good point to focus on at the initial stages of the game, but you should be paying attention to the others when your battles get more difficult.
As a starting weapon, you can try looking for the Bloodhound’s Fang which requires 18 Strength and 17 Dexterity—so make sure you have these stats before you begin your search. It is found in the Forlorn Hound Evergaol in Limgrave, and you need to kill a Bloodhound Knight Darriwil. Another decent option is the Uchigatana which is available to you at the Deathtouched Catacombs in Limgrave. Consider the Reduvia from Bloody Finger Nerijus.
Combat skills are important in the game, and the Warrior class is known for being able to dodge quickly to avoid heavy-handed attacks from your enemies. You can use the abilities of your weapon as well as skills such as Ashes of War. Focus on the abilities that let you damage your enemies over time such as Bleed Damage or Poison Damage.
