Elden Ring Confessor class guide - Stats, items, and gameplay

An important decision to make early on in Elden Ring is the starting class selection when you begin the game. Players choose between different classes that will provide varying styles of gameplay, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Starting classes in Elden Ring also have starting items and equipment, to complement the abilities of the class. Further customization is available through different armour sets and skills, but starting class will make all the difference early-game.

A popular new class is getting lots of attention so far with players very interested in the potential. Here's a detailed guide to Elden Ring's Confessor class, including gameplay details, starting items, and stats.

Elden Ring Confessor gameplay advantages

The Confessor is a bit of a mix from multiple other classes. It carries some of the covert Assassin-like capabilities of the Bandit while maintaining magical abilities similar to the Prophet with high Faith.

Just like the Vagabond starting class, the Confessor also comes equipped with a 100% Physical Damage reduction Shield for combat purposes. Players new to Elden Ring would enjoy this class as it can do a bit of everything.

Experienced players may become frustrated with the Confessor as the physical stats are very medium, and it could have limitations as players progress the title.
