easy mode?

If not for the abysmal strength and endurance, this would be a guaranteed pick for most builds. I'd say it's still tempting even in those cases as well.

Even though some might think this Class is really squishy due to it's Early Low Vitality & END ( HP and Stamina ). Altho this is the only Class which starts as Soul Level 1 , which is actually Great for a solid focused Build on your Mind.... So if you think about it , it does cost very low Souls in order to level up atleast to Soul Level 10-15. After that the Vitality & Endurance should be great ( Not to mention also , the Royality Class has the best Core Stats as starting Class specialy with Magic/Dex/Faith , also Intelligence is good ). Altho might seem Squishy at first , but then it's worth the long run for sure... Specialy Early you got MP regen Ring with also the 40% Max extra MP from the Silver Catalyst & Coronet.... Not to mention also excellent for early pick-up on that Cresent Falchion +1 in Area 4-1.

The Royalty class doesn't start with the Royalty armor set :(

Soul Arrow is insane, low-key carries through the first zone, all the way to Phalanx. I went pretty much hitless on my first ever run and I'm by no means a souls Vet

so this is the lvl1-run class and you start with a shotgun ? Damn, thanks FROM !
