Dune: Awakening offers four starting classes for you to choose from after you’ve gone through the character creator. These classes are Bene Gesserit, Trooper, Swordmaster, and Mentat. Each of these classes has its own ability trees, starting abilities, and stats that you can use to get through the early portion of the game. However, seeing as you’re not given a ton of information about any of them, it can be difficult to know which one is the best starting class.
Today, we’ll be going over the best overall starting class in Dune: Awakening. This class is primarily aimed towards beginners who are looking to get their footing in Arrakis. We’ll also explain what build you should go for in the early game so you know exactly which abilities to target as you level up.
