All New Starting Classes
This mod replaces the original 10 classes with new, more powerful, and lore-friendly classes. These characters are overpowered for the very earlygame, and are meant to mostly skip that part of the game and start with a built character right away.

All New Starting Classes is a gameplay overhaul mod for Elden Ring that replaces the base starting classes with 10 new ones, each equipped with late-game gear and increased starting power. It includes new names, descriptions, and preview images, and is compatible with Elden Ring 1.16.0. This mod is for players who want a fresh, more powerful early game experience.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 670 endorsements and over 30k downloads — clearly a lot of players dig it.
- Fresh take on character creation: starting with late-game gear means you can experiment with powerful builds right away.
- Full replacement with new names and descriptions makes it feel like a proper new game mode, not just a stat tweak.
⚠️ Cons
- Only updated for Elden Ring 1.16.0 — if you're on a newer patch, it might break until the author updates.
- Being more powerful from the get-go could trivialize early game difficulty for veterans looking for a challenge.
- No mention of compatibility with other mods — if you use other gameplay overhauls, you might run into conflicts.
For Elden Ring players who've beaten the game and want to start a new run with endgame gear and a fresh set of classes. Also great for those who enjoy role-playing with custom class archetypes. Skip if you're a purist who wants the original challenge curve or if you're on a newer game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your game version matches 1.16.0 exactly — check your game version in the main menu before installing.
- Back up your save files before installing, as this mod replaces starting classes and could affect existing characters.
- If you're using other mods, install this one last and test a new character to ensure everything works together.
