How to Use the Elden Ring Class Calculator

Using the calculator is simple and requires just a few inputs to generate an optimized class recommendation.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Enter Your Desired Level
   Choose the level you aim to reach in your playthrough (from 1 to 713). This helps the calculator gauge stat efficiency from the starting point.
2. Select Your Play Style
   Pick your preferred combat approach, such as Melee Combat, Magic Caster, Faith Caster, Dexterity Build, Strength Build, Hybrid Build, or Balanced Build.
3. Choose Your Primary Weapon Type
   Select your go-to weapon category from options like Straight Swords, Greatswords, Katanas, Spears, Bows, Staves, Sacred Seals, and more.
4. Mark Important Stats
   Check the core stats most relevant to your build: Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane.
5. Set Your Experience Level
   Identify whether you’re a Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert. The calculator uses this to weigh class suitability based on difficulty.
6. Click “Calculate”
   After inputting your choices, hit the Calculate button. A short progress animation will run for 3 seconds before displaying your results.
7. View and Interpret Results
   Your recommended starting class will be displayed, including key stats, an optimization score, a brief description, and alternative options.

Practical Example

Let’s walk through an example:

• Desired Level: 120
• Play Style: Faith Caster
• Primary Weapon Type: Sacred Seals
• Important Stats: Mind, Faith, Endurance

Clicking “Calculate” will present the optimal class recommendation — in this scenario, likely the Prophet or Confessor, given their high Faith and Mind stats, ideal for casting incantations. The tool also lists other viable classes, their scores, and starting stat breakdowns for comparison.
