You can play through a short sample mission at the start after which you can choose another character if you didn't like the one you played and even then it doesn't really matter which one you will pick all that much because the other two get unlocked fairly fast and you can switch characters at will. All of the characters play pretty well and don't forget that you are not stuck with your starting weapon class and can mix and match every weapon with every character.

Start with Winfield built Ability Power, spam his crazy beam sword move. Use his taun against bosses and elite/harder to kill enemies.
It's near impossible to kill him because of all his healing and he will get you through the content just fine until you unlock a wayfinder you want to main...

The early game is fairly forgiving and you unlock other characters relatively quickly so there's no real "best" option out of the gate (though I prefer Wingrave). It should also be said that the fundamental game didn't change overly much from the original release, so character guides remain pretty accurate in their descriptions. A lot of the changes all happened on the backend and in late-game stuff and it doesn't play much differently from the first go-round.

Wingrave is the best and most friendly class to start with. His ability to heal is the best in the game. He can teach you the mechanics of the game while also giving you the safety net of his heals. He also is great with the right weapon combo to be aggressive.

I do mean learn the mechanics of the game like fight mechanics. Once you start to get the block and dodge down you then go into the other characters where you need to do those mechanics.

I was watching this YT video and some guy said the dagger lady can also self heal.

Most characters have some form of self-sustain but Wingrave's is the most consistent due to how frequently it triggers even without ability usage. Just by doing basic combos you'll be landing finishers that trigger his heal.

Niss doesn't have self-healing in her kit and you have to supplement it with a weapon. Besides having potions, of course.

This is Kyros. You can find him in a chest in the Void dungeon.

No where did I say they didn't. I simply stated he was the best starter character. I also didn't say he was the best character. It's just in terms of a character that has some of the best healing in the game. This allows for a safety net when learning the game. So in terms of forgiveness and messing up Wingrave just gives you that freedom to mess up more.
