Best Beginner Class in Dark and Darker

Fighter is the standard beginner recommendation in Dark and Darker — the Weapon Mastery perk lets it use nearly every weapon in the game, so you're not locked into a narrow loadout while you're still learning dungeon layouts and PvP timing.

A strong starting setup pairs a melee weapon like a Longsword or Arming Sword and Shield with a Bow as a secondary set, giving you both a defensive option against ranged enemies and a way to punish overextending opponents.

Save Wizard for later — it has some of the best ceiling in the game once geared, but it's also the most gear-dependent class, which makes it a rough first pick before you've built up equipment.
