The other class that tops the recommendation list is the Knight class. Soul Arrow also doesn’t provide splash damage, so you’ll need to be light on your feet if you want to handle crowds. The rapier is a strictly one-on-one weapon, with no sweep attacks to speak of. One downside of Royalty though is that you will struggle with crowds, of which the Boletarian Gate has many. It may not seem like much, but this means even if you decide spellcasting or counter-ripostes aren’t for you, you can switch to other builds fairly easily since you’ll overall be paying less for levels. What this means is that in the long run, levels will be much cheaper, since the soul cost of levelling up increases per level. The third advantage is that unlike many of the classes, the Royalty starts at Soul Level 1. In other words, you’ll have all the tools to learn a playstyle, one way or another. Once things get sour you can also fall back and just start hurling bolts to do damage from afar. With the Rapiers high damage and the Buckler’s good parry windows, you can easily use the Dreglings at the start of Boletarian Gate to bake the parry timings into your soul. The combination of starting gear is really good, because parrying is a great high-skill technique you have to physically learn. The Rapier is especially good because of its lack of sweep attacks, meaning you’ll never have to worry about it getting caught in the hallways. You also get a Buckler and Rapier, aka one of the best parry shields and one of the best counter-weapons.

The second advantage is that that’s not the only starting equipment the Royalty starts with. A lot of enemies aren’t good at defending against magic, and Soul Arrow’s long range puts you in a great position to just snipe enemies before they can even dream of getting close to you. Your character has a wand, as well as the spell Soul Arrow. The first is that as the Sorcerer, you start with spellcasting. It has three main advantages, 2 of them are pretty obvious and one of them not so. Hands down, Royalty is one of the best starting classes in the game. From the myriad of classes, here’s our recommendations. Still, it’s important to have a class that fits your preferred playstyle, or better yet, puts you in a position to learn the game better. While a big decision for the start of the game they ultimately don’t matter- the game has an open build system, letting you use any weapon and gear as long as you have the stats for it. One of the hardest decisions you’ll make at the start of Demon’s Souls is choosing one of its starting classes. The aim here is more than just telling you what to kill- you’ll understand how the game wants to be played, so you’ll be able for any challenge thrown your way. Follow we can rephrase to: “While the game may not communicate these things openly and clearly (perhaps that’s the intention from the studio and hope players to learn as they play), your ol’ friend GamerBraves is here to do so with a guide that will make sure you’ll be a top-class Slayer of Demons in no time.
