Elden Ring: The Best Confessor Build

One of the starting classes you can choose in could be the Confessor, an archetype whose best build focuses on holy magic and above-average combat prowess. Like many titles, choosing this class gives you a head start on certain stats for your character. While you do not need to follow the path set by the Confessor's starting scores, it does affect how you begin your adventure.

You start with a Broadsword weapon and Finger Seal, an item that lets you cast Incantations very early in your journey. The sword you get is perfect for a balanced character and can be a tool you use throughout many different adventures. The spells in , Assassin's Approach and Urgent Heal, come with the Confessor and let you start a fight quickly and recover quickly, respectively.

Types of magical spells missing from the base game that would be fun and useful to include in Elden Ring's upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

The best stat for a Confessor build is Faith, which starts at a high value when picking the class at the start of. Your other important stats are Strength and Dexterity, which scale with different weapon types found throughout the Lands Between. Vigor should be the next score to think about since it ties directly to how much health your character has at any given moment.

The Mind and Endurance stats should only be invested in if your build needs to meet a minimum requirement for a powerful item. Faith can also be treated this way, but it will weaken your holy magic as time passes.

You want to level up Strength and Dexterity to the point where you can wield most weapons in one or two hands. Getting at least one of these stats to at least Level 40 should be a priority for a Confessor build, but this is determined by what weapon you use. For example, if you want to use 's best Strength scaling weapons, spending a lot of Runes won't be necessary to increase your Dexterity.
