Path of Exile 2 uses three main attributes - strength, dexterity, and intelligence - and its twelve playable character classes (or simply classes) are each associated with one or more attributes in pairs. The character creation screen allows the player to choose between six characters, each with a choice of two classes. Canonically, each pair of classes is the same person, but with a different upbringing[1]. Each pair of character classes has a different starting location on the passive skill tree and starting attributes, and each character gets different quest rewards. Later, upon completing a trial for the first time, players can specialize their character by choosing an Ascendancy subclass. The subclasses available depend on the character class chosen.
Players can use any items or skills, providing they meet the relevant attribute and level requirements. This allows players to customize their characters and design creative builds with unusual play styles. For new players, however, it is generally easiest to invest in the attributes appropriate to their character class.
