We are eagerly awaiting the release of Elden Ring Nightreign on May 30th. Although every game released by the developers of this game since Demon’s Souls has been well received, Elden Ring surpasses all previous works. Nightreign shifts the exploration focus of Elden Ring to short-term cooperation in random environments, using the original game mechanics and resources to create a completely different game effect.
One of the biggest changes Nightreign makes to Elden Ring is replacing the usual replacement character system with eight different Nightfarers. At present, the last two unnamed Nightfarers have also been revealed. From the information we have now, we can just assign roles to the protagonists of Nightreign. We are also very interested in what these characters are like and which one is the best for us.
Wylder - Everyman
Wylder is suitable for most players, whether they are new or old. It is the central character of this game. It is the default character when loading it and has a super attribute layout. Wylder has powerful pile bunker explosions and mobility-increasing grappling hooks, but his biggest draw is his passive ability to ignore one critical hit per life, which is the key to making him a more accessible character in Nightreign.
Passive skills will become stronger as the character levels up. Making full use of Elden Ring Nightreign Runes to upgrade the character or obtain suitable gears can maximize Wylder's potential and get twice the result with half the effort.
Guardian - Tank
The first non-human player character in the series, Guardian is a birdman who also has a novel play style. Most Nightfarers have a preferred weapon, but Guardian works with a shield. The shield helps him to withstand blows and counterattacks. In addition, his skills include a powerful dive tank Ultimate Art with an AoE defense buff and a dual-purpose stun-and-erase status effect clouds ability, which he can share with the whole team. Players who like to use shields for defense or are good at cooperation are suitable for this character.
Duchess - Assassin
A character that both crit players and speed players will like is Duchess, who may be the strongest in the Elden Ring network test. Duchess can easily deal with various complex enemies in the game with her dagger moves and unique dodge enhancements. Her Restage ability is her real highlight, which can double the damage value of enemies in a short period, shortening the combat time. In addition, her Ultimate Art can make nearby allies invisible no matter what the situation is.
Recluse - Sorcerer
Players who like casters and some complex skills will favor Recluse. Unlike Wylder, Guardian, and Duchess, which all require deep thinking and understanding of the basic principles of the game, Recluse is the main spellcasting class in the game and is best suited to cast most spells that the party can encounter. Its Ultimate Art Soulblood Song can give teammates a chance to breathe in the battle, but its biggest highlight is its regular skills. Magic Cocktail’s magical effects are too amazing to list one by one, but if players can remember its spell recipes and pay close attention to the damage elements, it will become a very powerful character.
Ironeye - Sniper
Ironeye’s bow moves are a result of the developers’ experience with Monster Hunter’s Bow class, which has been modified to improve his mobility and critical animations. Although he is a ranged hero, he can become a very good supporter with his increased item discovery rate and other skills. Players who like ranged attacks and the companion system should be surprised by his skills.
Raider - Heavy-Hitter
For players who like power classes, Raider is a more recommended one. Most of Nightreign’s Nightfarers have complex mechanics that can be adjusted to different preferences. But Raider is mainly based on simple mode. He has powerful armor skills and a preference for huge weapons, making him the best choice for many power players. His Totem Stela Ultimate is almost entirely designed for team mobility, such as providing a foothold for Ironeye.
Executor - Specialist
For players who are more confident in their skills, Executor can give you a higher return. So far, the developers have not announced the details of the last two Nightfarers. But from the trailer we can see that it wields something similar to Shadow of Erdtree’s Great Katanas and shows its unique moves. It is likely to be a excellent glass cannon.
Revenant - Mystery
Revenant is suitable for some players who are looking for a novel experience and don’t mind a brief battle and support.
The specific details of this character have not been revealed, and it has only appeared in the information. From his avatar, it can be seen that he is holding a harp, but the harp has no corresponding weapon in the game. He also has the ability of Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring, which may be a small boss like Tibia Mariner, and can also use enchantments. Although it is mysterious, we can guess that he is mainly a traditional magic support character, mainly attacking indirectly.
