Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition may run like hot garbage on Nintendo Switch 2, but the upcoming revamp will arrive with two new starter classes whenever it finally launches.
While FromSoftware has barred footage of the new version of the game at Gamescom, publisher Bandai Namco made sure to share a short snippet of one of the game’s upcoming new classes. It’s strong, but it’s not passing its GSCEs anytime soon.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition class leaks
Shared by Bandai Namco on TikTok, the new starter class for Elden Ring is an absolute unit of a guy. A powerful knight – the exact class name is still unknown – this beast has the following starter stats:
- Level: 8
- Vigor: 14
- Mind: 7
- Endurance: 17
- Strength: 15
- Dexterity: 11
- Intelligence: 7
- Faith: 7
- Arcane: 9
As you can see, the new class excels in strength and endurance and will be a great start for any melee-focused builds. However, the hilariously low mind and intelligence stats make it one of the stupider classes in the game. Poor guy, he can barely tie his own shoes.
Of course, this big beefy boy is just one of two classes coming to Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Alongside this huge knight, who reminds me of that stupid ghost from Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, there’s also another knight that comes pre-equipped with the formerly endgame weapon Milady Light Greatsword.
With this in mind, it seems that Tarnished Edition will likely be released with a hefty balance patch whenever it is released. Apparently, it’s coming out this year, but there’s not much year left.
