Lords of the Fallen Best Classes [Top 5]

Lords of the Fallen is here and before you start your playthrough, let’s ensure you have all the right information so there is no buyer’s remorse later. With this Lords of the Fallen Best Class guide, I will get you in on the five best classes you can start with, in my opinion.

Note: I am not mentioning the other three unlockable classes since they require you to start a new character (exclusive of NG+) to access them.

Dark Crusader

Best Class For Beginners

Dark Crusader Class | Captured By: VeryAliGaming

Weapons	Paladin Issac’s Sword Radiantburst Parchment Throwing Hand
Armor	Paladin Helm Paladin Armor Paladin Gauntlets Paladin Leggings
Pendants	Paladin’s Pendant
Misc.	–

The edgy older brother of John Darksoul is a new variation we have seen in other titles but this one surely takes the cake in terms of style and design. The Dark Crusader is not really that dark at all in fact he is actually part of the paladin section. This means being able to use Holy spells to buff, heal, and all other manner of sorcery. You get everything that comes with the Hallowed Knight class and more since you have to get the Deluxe Edition or above for Lords of the Fallen to unlock this class.

Strength	12
Agility	8
Endurance	14
Vitality	14
Radiance	11
Inferno	8

Although it is well worth it with the increase to all forms of damage, defense, and stamina. You start off with the highest Vitality stat at 14 alongside a starting level of 14. Supporting both the tank-like playstyle and heavy damage playstyle while remaining somewhat neutral in terms of scaling. I’m so far having a great time with Dark Crusader.

Exiled Stalker

Best DPS Class

Why did I Choose Exiled Stalker?

The Exiled Stalker class has the highest DPS currently and it also comes with high Agility stats which highly supports it as a starting class.

Weapons	Exiled Stalker Daggers Lacerating Knife
Armor	Exiled Stalker Headscarf Exiled Stalker Garb Exiled Stalker Wrappings Exiled Stalker Trousers
Pendants	–
Misc.	Poison Salts

If you wanted to play as a twin dagger-spinning fast-paced poison machine with the sands of time at your beck and call (Prince of Persia reference for you in the back) then I recommend you should play the Exiled Stalker. With the potential to reach the highest DPS alongside applying status effects relatively easily this class is one of the most fun ones you could use.

Strength	9
Agility	16
Endurance	11
Vitality	11
Radiance	8
Inferno	8

Having the highest Agility stat out of all the starting classes with a 16 and a starting level of 10 the speed and tenacity of the Exiled Stalker are nothing to scoff at and can be amazing to take with you as your starting class.

Blackfeather Ranger

Best Ranged Class

Weapons	Blackfeather Ranger Axe Blackfeather Ranger Bow Blackfeather Ranger Shield
Armor	Blackfeather Ranger Hat Blackfeather Ranger Armor Blackfeather Ranger Gloves Blackfeather Ranger Trousers
Pendants	–
Misc.	Ammunition Pouch Oak Arrows

To me it looks like the hunter took a wrong turn in Yharnam and ended up in Lords of the Fallen. But in all seriousness, the resemblance is uncanny although the playstyles are completely different. A ranged class by trade with some decent melee options the Blackfeather Ranger really embodies the ranger archetype by being primarily range-focused using a bow and arrow.

Strength	11
Agility	13
Endurance	11
Vitality	10
Radiance	8
Inferno	8

The Blackfeather Ranger starts at level 8, the second lowest starting level in the game just barely above the Condemned. Overall a very versatile class that can easily be molded into your play style.

Hallowed Knight

Best Class For Heavy Armor

Hallowed Knight Class | Captured By: VeryAliGaming

Weapons	Hallowed Knight Sword Hallowed Knight Shield Grenade
Armor	Hallowed Knight Helm Hallowed Knight Armor Hallowed Knight Gauntlets Hallowed Knight Leggings
Pendants	–
Misc.	Enervated Vigor Skull Briostone Pair

Good old classic John Darksoul is back at it again in another franchise. This time he goes by the Hallowed Knight and aims to fight the good fight against all manner of beasties. Jokes aside this is probably the second-best starting class you can go as a new player to souls-like games. The class has decent health, stamina, defense, and damage.

Strength	12
Agility	8
Endurance	15
Vitality	11
Radiance	9
Inferno	8

You start with the highest Endurance stat in the game at 16 and a starting level of 15 which is also the highest among the starting classes.

It is the ultimate all-rounder for those looking to get into the game and have a decent time experiencing everything.

Udirangr Warwolf

Best Class For Late Game

Weapons	Udirangr Warwolf Sword Bloody Hatchet
Armor	Udirangr Warwolf Hood Udirangr Warwolf Armor Udirangr Warwolf Sleeves Udirangr Warwolf Trousers
Pendants	–
Misc.	Minor Fire Salts

If you are a fan of Vikings and brutal strength then you will have the most fun with the Udirangr Warwolf class. A class that disregards defense in exchange for maximizing offense.

Strength	16
Agility	10
Endurance	13
Vitality	10
Radiance	8
Inferno	8

It starts off with the highest Strength stat in the game with a whopping 16 and a starting level of 12 which is quite average among the starting classes.

Why Others Were Not Chosen?

1. Pyric Cultist: This class is slower to attack compared to other classes like the Exiled Stalker, which could be a disadvantage in close-quarters combat where quick attacks are crucial.
2. Condemned: This class starts with the lowest numbers in strength, agility, endurance, vitality, radiance, and inferno, making it the weakest class in terms of raw stats and it also has a low starting level.
3. Mournstead Infantry: While this class does have a throwing spear for ranged combat, it’s not as strong in either melee or ranged combat compared to other classes, hence I do not recommend it to you.

My Opinion On The Best Classes

I am a Dark Souls fan boy through and through so the one that appeals most to me is the Dark Crusader. It’s the one I have enjoyed playing the most and a close second is the Exiled Stalker. These two have been my main go-to characters simply because of how much fun I have with them. The Crusader with his amazing aesthetic and the Stalker with the twin blades are just my kind of playstyle.

If you enjoy dex builds or love the dark paladin aesthetic then definitely pick up these classes as your choices for your first playthrough. On that note check out some of our other Lords of the Fallen guides such as:
