Wylder: The All-Rounder You Need
First up in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide, the Wylder is the ultimate jack-of-all-trades! He’s my go-to for new players thanks to his balanced stats and forgiving mechanics. His Claw Shot skill lets you grapple smaller enemies to break their guard or pull yourself to larger foes for extra mobility—I’ve used it to dodge boss attacks like a pro!
The Onslaught Stake ultimate unleashes a massive explosion (charge it by holding the input for even more damage!), pulling Wylder back in for a follow-up strike. His Sixth Sense passive gives you a one-time cheat-death—perfect for surviving a fatal blow, though it resets after resting at a Site of Grace or getting revived. Wylder starts with a greatsword (Stamp Upward Cut Ash of War) and a small shield (Parry skill), making him adaptable for any situation. His stat progression shows steady growth across HP, stamina, and FP—great for any playstyle!
Guardian: Tank and Support Beast
Next in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide, the Guardian is your team’s unyielding protector! This eagle-like humanoid rocks heavy armor, balancing offense and defense as the ultimate tank. His Whirlwind skill whips up a tornado with his wings, pulling enemies to the center while clearing lightweight projectiles—hold the input to increase its range and lift more foes off the ground!
The Wings of Salvation ultimate lets him soar into the sky, then dive down, creating a protective area that damages and staggers enemies while reviving downed allies within its radius (hold the input to add a shield for extra protection!). The Steel Guard passive boosts your shield’s defense, letting you tank massive hits—though you can’t run while guarding. Guardian starts with a Guardian’s Halberd (Charge Forth Ash of War) and a Greatshield (Shield Bash Ash of War), perfect for a shield-poke strategy. His stats show some of the highest starting HP and stamina, growing steadily up to level 15—built to last!
Duchess: High-Risk, High-Reward Rogue
The Duchess in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide is a roguish noble built for burst damage! She swaps the standard roll for a Bloodborne-style quickstep, making her a backstab and stealth queen. Her Restage skill is a game-changer—it reapplies all damage dealt to a target over the last few seconds (including teammate damage!), letting you melt bosses when timed right. I staggered a Night Lord in seconds with this!
The Finale ultimate cloaks you and nearby allies in invisibility for 10 seconds, letting you sneak past tough boss phases or escape tracking spells. Her Magnificent Poise passive keeps you mobile with rapid weak stabs, letting you keep up the pressure longer. The Duchess starts with a Dagger (Magic Dagger Ash of War, which buffs it with magic damage), favoring agility over durability. Her stats reflect this—low starting HP but high agility and decent FP growth, perfect for a high-risk, high-reward playstyle!
Recluse: Spell-Slinging Glass Cannon
Meet the Recluse in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide—the mage queen of the game! She’s a glass cannon with insane arcane power, focusing on spellcasting over physical durability. Her Magic Cocktail skill lets you craft spells by absorbing elemental residues from your or your allies’ attacks, mixing them into powerful spells—from devastating blasts to party-wide healing (think Dark Souls sorceries!). I healed my squad during a boss fight with this—total lifesaver!
The Soulblood Song ultimate marks enemies to take more damage while giving HP/FP sustain to your team with each attack on marked foes. The Elemental Affairs passive regenerates FP every time you collect residues, crucial since FP restoration is limited. Recluse starts with a Staff (Glinstone Pebble and Arc sorceries by default), but you can swap for other sorceries later. Her stats scream spellcaster—lowest starting HP (140 at level 1) but some of the highest FP in the game, growing even more as you level up!
Ironeye: The Archer Sniper You’ll Love
The Ironeye in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide is the core archer class, perfect for long-range players! She maximizes bow mechanics with faster firing, quicker movement while aiming, and unlimited arrows—no more worrying about ammo! Her Marking skill lets you stab and mark enemies with a temporary weak point—hitting it deals extra damage and staggers them (you can extend the duration with upgrades!).
The Single Shot ultimate fires a supersonic arrow that pierces through enemies and obstacles in a straight line, clearing crowds and giving you an invulnerability window while charging. I wiped a whole group of enemies with one shot—so satisfying! Her Eagle Eye passive boosts the quality and rarity of loot drops for you and your squad, making her a loot magnet. Ironeyei starts with an Ironeye Bow (Mighty Shot Ash of War), which makes staggering enemies easier. While exact stats aren’t confirmed, expect lower HP but decent stamina and possibly FP for her safe, ranged playstyle!
Raider: DPS Tank Who Hits Hard
The Raider in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide is your unstoppable berserker! This savage DPS/tank hybrid wields massive double-handed weapons, taking damage to empower his attacks. His Fighter’s Resolve passive boosts your Retaliate skill’s power after taking hits, preventing knockdowns while using it—perfect for staying in the fight! The Retaliate skill lets you enter an attack stance, countering enemies with a two-faced strike that reduces incoming damage and makes even big foes recoil (smaller ones get knocked down!).
The Totem Stella ultimate summons a giant tombstone from the ground, creating a platform for high ground or damage avoidance while buffing your team’s attacks. I used it to block a boss’s arrow barrage—clutch! Raider starts with a Great Axe (Endure Ash of War), dealing physical and fire damage. While stats aren’t official, expect high starting HP and strength scaling for this brute!
Executer: Sekiro-Inspired Parry Master
The Executer in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide brings Sekiro-style combat to the table! This hero wields a katana, excelling in close-quarters with precise parries and deflections. Her Occult Sword skill equips a special blade for attack deflections, quicker successive attacks, or a wide lunging strike—each deflection chips away at the blade, revealing a glowing inner blade for more power! I parried a boss three times in a row and unleashed a massive counter—felt so good!
The ultimate transforms her into a giant beast using Aspect of the Crucible powers, unleashing new melee slashes and a devastating ground stomp. Executer starts with a Katana, one of the strongest weapons in Elden Ring, perfect for testing your skills. Her playstyle is tough to master but offers high rewards—definitely a fan-favorite after recent gameplay reveals!
Revenant: Mysterious Spirit Summoner
Last in our Elden Ring Nightreign Class Guide, the Revenant is the eighth class, rumored to be available at launch! She’s a summoner-type hero, focusing on spirit-based abilities similar to Elden Ring’s base game. While details are sparse, her core mechanic likely fits a support role, summoning spirits to aid your squad—possibly using a lyre or harp as a catalyst!
I’m hyped for her necromancer vibe, though I’m a bit worried about managing summons during hectic boss fights. Still, she could be a game-changer in clutch moments, especially if your party plays optimally. No confirmed starting weapons or stats yet, but expect her to lean into FP and support-focused scaling. Can’t wait to see her gameplay trailer soon!
