All Lies of P starter classes, explained

In Soulslike games, the starter classes determine the basic mechanics of your character. Lies of P, a new entry based on the classic tale of Pinocchio, also incorporates this mechanic. Set in the city of Krat, players are attacked by a plague of enchanted puppets. Although Pinocchio is the main character, he doesn't harbor any intentions of becoming a real boy. Instead, his purpose is to find the person responsible for the chaos.

That said, it is important to have a basic understanding of the game's features. To that end, we will look at each class in detail.

1) Path of the B*stard

Among the starter classes, Path of the B*stard is based on a fast combat style, motivated by high stamina. While this allows you to inflict a greater number of attacks, the game balances this stat with a low health bar.

It also gives you a weapon from the start, the Wintry Rapier, which allows you to pierce enemies and damage them before running away. However, the arsenal provided in the class is very weak.

In short, Path of the B*stard is for those who like speed. You can easily defeat slower enemies but not the more resistant ones. To be effective, you must have great skill with the game controls and good reflexes.

Pros

• A character with a lot of endurance
• Excellent dodging skills

Cons

• Very low health bar
• Very weak attacks

Stats

• Vitality: 8
• Vigor: 12
• Capacity: 7

Another of the starter classes in Lies of P is called Path of the Sweeper. Its focus is on strength, which is duly balanced with low durability. In this class, you will have the strongest version of your character. You can defeat enemies with a few hits, so a good tactic can be essential in maximizing the damage of your actions. Furthermore, the strength allows you to equip heavier weapons.

However, your character will be exhausted after a few attacks due to its low vitality. This will warrant extensive evasive maneuvers against your enemies before staging another attack. The starting weapon in Path of the Sweeper is the Greatsword of Fate.

Pros

• High resistance
• Attacks with more damage

Cons

• Low vitality
• Slow characters

Stats

• Vitality: 11
