## Key points

- Heavy Knight starts two levels higher than in its playtest version.
- Knight of Idus is a level-seven agile swordfighter class.
- The $5 DLC arrives on PC on 28 August.

## Summary

FromSoftware has confirmed the final starting statistics and equipment for the Heavy Knight and Knight of Idus, two new Elden Ring classes arriving in the $5 Tarnished Edition DLC. The Heavy Knight has received a small change from its earlier playtest version, which matters chiefly to players optimising builds, speedruns or challenge runs rather than to most players.

The Heavy Knight now begins at level 10 instead of eight, with one additional point each in Mind and Faith; it retains its heavy armour and curved greatsword focus. The level-seven Knight of Idus is a more agile, Dexterity-led class equipped with the Milady light greatsword; the DLC launches on PC on 28 August alongside the Tarnished Edition for Switch 2.
