Overview

In Elden Ring, the Quality build’s offensive potential rests on having high Strength and Dexterity to use weapons that scale with both stats such as various straight swords, greatswords, and double-edged swords. A Quality character also gains some versatility to occasionally wield different types of armaments, including those with good range such as spears, reapers, and even bows.

Primary Stats Vigor, Strength, Dexterity, Endurance,
Secondary Stats Intelligence, Faith

Starting Classes

Vagabond and Samurai

Elden Ring - Vagabond Starting Class Elden Ring - Samurai Starting Class

The Vagabond and Samurai are the best starting classes for Quality builds because of their good balance of initial Strength and Dexterity stats. The Vagabond has a bit of an edge in terms tankiness thanks to their slightly higher base Vigor while the Samurai enjoys more stamina and max equipment load for having the best Endurance value out of all starting classes across the board.

Recommended Stat Distribution (Lv. 50) using Vagabond Starting Class

Key stats are indicated in green. From Lv.51 onwards, you can continue investing points to these attributes towards the soft caps based on your performance towards the late stages of the game. The key stat Strength and Dexterity should be increased up to levels that grants high damage output of the weapon you want to wield during the end-game. Otherwise, continue raising other stats such as Vigor and Endurance for increased survivability or start putting points on non-primary attributes if you are making a hybrid of this build.

Stat Value
Vigor 24
Mind 10
Endurance 24
Strength 23
Dexterity 23
Intelligence 9
Faith 9
Arcane 7

Recommended Spells (Sorceries and Incantations)
