Best class in Chivalry 2
In my opinion the best class in Chivalry 2 is the Knight.The Knight’s high health pool allows you to take more hits, which is important in both 1v1 and 1vX scenarios; and you’ve also got access toan array of powerful weaponswith every subclass, allowing you to dish out much more damage than you’ll take.
We’ll go over the Knight and the other classes in greater detail below. You’ll also find our breakdowns of each subclass in the below sections.

Chivalry 2 class stats
Here are the stats of the different classes in Chivalry 2:
Your stats will remain the same whichever subclass you pick. All that changes with the subclass is your starting gear and abilities.
Archer
The Archer is the only dedicated ranged class in Chivalry 2, and there can only be a certain number of Archers on each team, to prevent arrow spam. The Archer’s strength obviously lies with their ability to inflict damage from afar without exposing themselves.
But Archers need to be both swift and accurate to stay alive and effective, and they also need to learn how to fight better-armed players with their secondary melee weapons if an enemy gets too close, or you’ll simply end up feeding the other team. Archers have the lowest Health and Stamina of all classes, and movement speed on par with a Footman.
Archer subclasses:
Vanguard
The Vanguard’s signature move is the Leaping Strike, which is a charge attack that deals massive damage to whoever it hits; but it’s a tricky move to land correctly, and it often leaves you rather vulnerable, so it’s most useful in 1v1 situations where you’re unlikely to be overwhelmed too quickly.
The Vanguard is a very strong class because sheer skill can offset its primary disadvantage (the low health pool). A good Vanguard is just as hard to kill as anyone else, and their ability to wield devastating one-shot weapons like the Maul means there’s very little room for error when facing a Vanguard.
Vanguard subclasses:
Footman
The Footman has middling stats across the board, and is a great starting point if you’re unsure which class to pick. They’re more heavily armoured than Vanguards and Archers, and they can use their Bandage Kits to heal up any damage taken, making them startlingly survivable.
The Footman’s signature ability is the Sprint Charge, which allows them to deal high damage while sprinting forward towards an enemy. The effect is similar to the Vanguard’s Leaping Strike, but a little less risky as it’s easier to land and doesn’t leave you quite as vulnerable afterwards
The Footman subclasses take the class in very different directions, which makes it a bit difficult to judge the power of the class as a whole; but they’re strong and versatile warriors, and shouldn’t be underestimated just because they lack the focus of the other classes.
Footman subclasses:
Knight
The Knight is the highest-health and most heavily armoured class in Chivalry 2, and they are build for blocking and absorbing damage - though they can also hit as hard as anyone else.
The downside to playing as the Knight is that they are rather slow, even at full charge - although they do enjoy the class-wide ability to tackle opponents to the ground if you have reached your max speed while approaching a target.
Knight subclasses:
That’s all 4 classes and all 12 subclasses in Chivalry explained in great detail, so hopefully now you have a good idea of which type of warrior best compliments your playstyle. While you’re here, be sure also to check out our page on whether to pickAgatha or Mason.
