About the Dark Souls 3 Build Calculator

Welcome to the most advanced and user-friendly Dark Souls 3 Build Calculator on the web. Whether you are min-maxing for PvP duels at Pontiff Sulyvahn or planning a robust PvE build for The Ringed City, this tool is designed to help you optimize your stats efficiently.

Unlike other planners, our tool features a built-in Class Optimizer that instantly calculates the most efficient starting class for your desired stat spread, potentially saving you precious Soul Levels.

How to Use

  • Select a Class: Start by choosing a base class. The Knight is often the best all-rounder, while the Pyromancer is great for hybrid caster builds.
  • Allocate Stats: Use the +/- buttons to adjust your attributes. Watch the "Derived Stats" panel to see how your HP, FP, and Stamina change in real-time.
  • Check Soft Caps: Look for the yellow indicator dots next to stats. These mark "soft caps" where diminishing returns begin (e.g., 27 Vigor, 40 Endurance).
  • Optimize: Once you've set your target stats, click "Find Optimal Class" to see if another starting class could reach these stats at a lower Soul Level.
  • Share: Click "Copy Build Link" to generate a unique URL for your build to share with friends or save for later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best starting class in Dark Souls 3? ▼

For most physical builds (Strength, Dexterity, or Quality), the Knight is usually the most efficient due to its low Luck and wasted stats. For casters, the Sorcerer or Pyromancer are typically best.

What are the soft caps for stats? ▼

Vigor: 27 (1000 HP) and 50 (1300 HP).
Endurance: 40 (160 Stamina).
Strength/Dexterity: 40 and 60.
Int/Faith: 40 (Hybrids) and 60 (Pure Casters).

Does Vitality increase defense? ▼

Yes, Vitality increases your physical defense flat values, but its primary purpose is increasing Equip Load to allow for heavier armor and weapons without "fat rolling" (>70% load).
