The Knight armor is quite sturdy as well and offers great protection. The Knights Shield offers total protection against all physical attacks, which is incredibly useful against almost all enemies in the game. The Knight starts with a longsword and a Knight’s shield, both of which can easily carry you until the end of the game. It is favoured by new and veteran players alike, mostly because it is as solid as a class can get. The Knight is the most popular class in Dark Souls 3. While miracles are effective defensively, there are not many powerful offensive miracles making hybrid Cleric builds a more optimal way of building your character. The shield is not good due to it’s low absorption and stability, making dual wielding the Mace instead a much more effective way of approaching enemies.

The weapon that the class offers, the Mace, is a very powerful weapon especially effective against heavily armored opponents and if upgraded can easily take care of any foe up until the endgame. Another spell the cleric can use from the beginning is the miracle Force, which can not only grant you breathing room since it sends enemies that are close to you far away, but it can also protect you from incoming arrow attacks. The Cleric is a very good class, bot offensively and defensively, utilising mostly STR weapons and miracles.Įven though it has low starting HP, it makes up for it with the usage of healing spells, specifically Heal which heals twice as much as the Heal Aid spell we mentioned earlier.
