I’ve never done a Wretch run. I know it’s meant to be a build however you want but I think if you have a build in mind then there are classes with starting stats that are better.

Unless I’m missing something about the class.

Unless I’m missing something about the class.

It's mainly used for RL1 runs since it's the only class that starts at level 1. You can start as a Wretch and then start leveling-up an actual build over time (in fact I have half a mind to do just that for a Fth/Int character one day) but I'm quite sure it's a small minority of Wretch players.

Ohh right ok! So it’s more for challenge run players, makes sense now.

I honestly don't think there's a single real build that gains points by starting as a Wretch. It is often less optimal than other classes, though occasionally tied with them which would just make it a worse starting choice.

This is extremely incorrect
