Is herald to weak for a beginner?

[Vec0]

Hey just asking because i struggle on first boss with herald :/

[Chipslight's kinda gay]

Classes actually don't matter.

spear is tough and has low damage with Herald. Warrior and Knight are much easier. Good armour and weps.

[Persyval]

Better spacing tho

Starting classes do in fact matter, specially for beginners, and for OP as a new DS3 player. Knight is probably the best startinc class due to the amount of damage reduced by the armor and vitality they have. Warrior is a close second.

Agreed. for a new player to the series. Picking the wrong class can be the difference between getting to the shrine in 15min or 3 hours.

Yup. I remember when I first started as deprived in DS3 because I played DS1 and DS2 with some skill and then get destroyed by Gundyr because of the game's faster speed messing me up. I got the hint and restarted as a Warrior only to destroy the guy. Nowadays deprived start is a joke.

AKA it matters at the start. When you get better, it will not.

I immediately started playing 10 times better when I switched from herald character to warrior. Only go for spear if you are a shield user

Started deprived, died 3-5 times at Gundyr, made solid build, 90% winrate in duels, YEEIIISSS !1!1! Paid off.

Feeling this is one of those 'wut?' times.

If you're new, the Knight has some of the best stats all around as well as solid gear that can actually last you through the whole game. Herald has miracles and spear, which aren't the most new-player friendly items.

Having said that, if you learn to dodge for now, it won't matter in the long run, but since you're that early in the game, I'd try Knight.

Also some time from now, after you get better at parying, try to parry Gundyr with your bare hands. Oh, so satisfying! It'll make the pain you are going through right now feel like a bad joke.

The herald starts with a weak weapon, but if you can clear the first boss you'll find that he is quite a good class. I enjoy him very much.
