Demon's Souls Remake: Character Classes - list of all Demons Souls PS5 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 24 June 2021

On this page of the guide to Demon's Souls Remake, you will find out which character classes are available to choose from in the game and which is the most recommended at the very beginning.

Demon's Souls Remake, as all games of this type, allows you to select the initial class. The difference, however, is that by choosing e.g. a magician, we can transform the character in the course of the game into a knight who wields a heavy weapon. While choosing the character class, you should look at the basic stats and the equipment.

• Soldier
• Knight
• Hunter
• Priest
• Magician
• Wanderer
• Barbarian
• Thief
• Temple Knight
• Royalty
• Which character is the best to start?

Soldier

The soldier is a character class who does well in short-range combat. He has a lot of health points. In addition, the soldier has quite good basic equipment (however, there are classes with better equipment). He attacks with a short sword and uses a shield to defend himself.

Knight

The Knight has slightly less health, due to the lower number of vitality points, however, it is the most "leveled" character in terms of statistics, which means that he is quite good in everything (except for luck, which affects the loot and critical damage, bleeding, etc.).).

It is worth mentioning that the Knight also has numerous healing items at the start. The knight also has one of the best starting equipment (however, it makes the character a bit heavy). A class worth choosing, because the initial statistics allow you to go in the next stage of the game in any direction of development, whether you want to become a magician, priest, tank, or a character distinguished by agility.

Hunter

Hunter is a character who has health and stamina at a fairly high level. He doesn't specialize in casting spells and miracles. He also has a greater chance of finding loot dropped by defeated enemies. However, this is not something that could strongly encourage the choice of this class at the start of the game. In battle, he wields a wooden shield and an axe. He has few healing items, but he has an item that allows you to leave a glowing stone on the surface to mark your path (virtually useless in the early stages of the game).

Priest

The priest is a class for people who want to invest heavily in miracles. A high number of faith points allows you to take advantage of many miracles early in the game. In addition, it allows you to gain more faith points much faster at a later stage. In addition to faith itself, this class has numerous health points, endurance and strength. In battle, he wields a shield and a baton. In addition, at the start, he has a miracle that allows you to heal some wounds. A character ideal for people who value co-op rather than solo.

Magician

The magician is a character who perfectly copes in long-distance combat, but is very weak in direct clashes. He has a lot of points invested in magic and intelligence, but has a very small amount of health, strength and faith. However, this does not mean that this class is weak. Truth be told, if you're a cautious player and prefer to keep your distance, this is a pretty good class for you. All thanks to the staff, which allows you to use two starting spells. The first allows you to fire a fiery projectile, causing fire damage, while the second reduces the damage received by fire by 45%. The Magicia also has six healing herbs and six mana-renewing items.

Wanderer

The Wanderer is very agile, so this class is recommended for people who prefer to attack quickly and efficiently, with the ability to perform quick and light evasions. He fights with a falchion and a dagger, in addition, he has a shield. His armor, however, is not something that will help offset the damage.

Barbarian

The barbarian stands out for having the greatest amount of health that the character's starting classes offer. In addition, he has a lot of points assigned to strength and endurance, as well as luck. As befits a barbarian, however, he is not very intelligent and has a small amount of faith. He has light clothing, which makes it comparable to an agile tank. He fights with a baton and a shield.

Thief

The thief is characterized by many luck points, which is a parameter responsible for additional critical damage, poisoning, bleeding, but also for more loot dropped by the opponents more frequently. In addition, he is quite agile, however, with not too many health points. It is worth choosing this class when you know that you will want to go for the character build associated with fast weapons, preferably causing bleeding.

Temple Knight

A Temple Knight is a combination of a priest and a knight. He has slightly fewer health points, but he has a large number of points of strength and faith. It is worth noting that his starting armor can take a lot of damage, but it is heavy, so moving this character and attacking is very slow. He fights with a halberd, so he gains strength and distance in his attacks. In addition, he has a healing miracle.

Royalty

Royalty, or rather a nobleman or a noblewoman, is a character class that combines priest and magician. He has the fewest health points (less than even a mage), but he has a powerful spell that allows him to fire an arrow of souls. This spell can kill weaker opponents with one hit. He is ideally suited for long-distance combat, however, he does not cope well in direct confrontation. It is worth mentioning the soul level of this class, which is 1.

This class has the lowest number of initial stats, but allows the best possible distribution of points at a later stage of the game. He fights with a short sword and staff, thanks to which you can use the arrow of souls. He also has a ring that slowly regenerates lost mana every 4 seconds. Very good choice for novice players, by some even considered the "easy mode" of this game.

Which character is the best to start?

The truth is that it is difficult to answer this question, because each is distinguished by something special. It all depends on what you expect from your character. Do you prefer fast-paced combat and evasion? Choose a wanderer or a thief. Do you prefer a long-distance fight? Choose a mage or a royalty.

However, if we were to recommend a particular character class, then classes such as Royalty and Knight would deserve special distinction. Royalty allows you to eliminate most opponents from a distance with the arrow of souls, which is a powerful spell, while the Knight has many healing items, very good equipment and well-balanced statistics. However, remember that if you prefer a different style of gameplay, there is nothing to suggest that the nobility and Knight seem to be the best.
