8 Heroes Nightfarers Elden Ring Nightreign Along with Explanation of Their Abilities

Revenant

Revenant is a Summoner type Nightfarers who can assist the team by calling spirits to attack enemies. This class can only be played after unlocking the Duchess and defeating the Night Idol.

Strengths and Weaknesses Revenant has high Faith and Intelligence values, making it perfect to focus on magic attacks. It can also disrupt enemies through its summoned spirits. However, unfortunately, its HP and defense are quite weak, so you need to be careful when playing.

Passive Skill: Necromancy
Revenant can summon spirits to assist in battle after defeating enemies. These enemy spirits will help attack for a certain time before disappearing.

Character Skill: Summon Spirit
Revenant can summon one of three spirits: Helen the Page, Frederick the Pumpkin Head, or Sebastian the Giant Skeleton to help attack enemies.

Ultimate Skill: Immortal March
Revenant can make itself and nearby team members immortal and revive dead teammates while granting them temporary immortality. This skill is very useful when the team is cornered and can turn the tide.

Executor

Executor is a Nightfarer who uses a katana and plays aggressively. Uniquely, it can perform parries like in Sekiro and can even transform into a giant monster to increase power.

Strengths and Weaknesses Executor has high Dexterity and Arcane stats, making its attacks fast and sharp. Its parry ability makes it excellent for dueling, especially against bosses. However, its Intelligence and Faith stats are low, and it will struggle when facing multiple enemies at once.

Passive Skill: Tenacity
Gains Attack and Stamina Recovery speed boosts when clearing negative status effects like Bleed, Poison, and others.

Character Skill: Cursed Sword
Executor unleashes a cursed sword that can reflect enemy attacks. Repeated reflections build up to unleash a powerful strike. Cannot run while activating this skill.

Ultimate Skill Art: Aspects of the Crucible
Transforms into a giant monster that attacks enemies. Each attack reduces the Ultimate bar. The skill can be reactivated to cancel the transformation mode.

Raider

Raider is a barbarian-type Nightfarers class perfect for those who enjoy playing brutally. This character is best used with large weapons like greatswords, giant axes, or big hammers because of its super aggressive and barbaric combat style.

Strengths and Weaknesses Raider has very high Strength, so its attacks deal massive damage to enemies. Additionally, its HP and Stamina are thick, allowing it to keep pushing without fear of quickly falling. However, because it focuses on power, it tends to be slow and less flexible in terms of ranged defense or magic attacks.

Passive Skill: Fighter’s Resolve
Taking hits makes the character skill stronger. Raider also resists Knock effects while using the skill and can withstand large damage attacks.

Character Skill: Retaliate
Raider takes a defensive stance that reduces incoming attacks and counters with a strong punch that can stagger large enemies.

Ultimate Skill: Totem Stela
Raider summons a large Tombstone that deals damage and buffs strength to nearby teammates and blocks projectiles. This Tombstone can be climbed and used as footing if needed.

Ironeye

Ironeye is a Nightfarers archer class focusing on long-range attacks. Perfect for those who like playing safely from the back while supporting the team with their set of support skills.

Strengths and Weaknesses Ironeye excels at Dexterity, Stamina, and Arcane, making it great for shooting enemies quickly and efficiently from afar. Unfortunately, it is weak in Intelligence and Faith, so it's less effective in using magic attacks or magic-based support.

Passive Skill: Eagle Eye
Ironeye increases the item drop rate from defeated enemies. This skill applies to all players on the team and can be excellent support in the game.

Character Skill: Marking
Ironeye dashes forward and slashes enemies hit by the skill while applying a Mark effect that reveals enemy weak points. Attacking these points deals increased damage and stagger effects to enemies and extends the mark duration.

Ultimate Skill: Single Shot
Ironeye fires a supersonic arrow that pierces through any defense, including enemy types, environment, and even buildings. This skill also can revive knocked teammates due to its high damage.

Wylder

Wylder is a basic Nightfarers with all-rounder abilities, very suitable for beginners. This class is among the easiest to use in Elden Ring Nightreign because of its simple and flexible playstyle.

Strengths and Weaknesses Wylder has fairly high Strength and Dexterity stats, making it effective for direct attacks using a Greatsword. However, due to no specific specialization, the gameplay feels ordinary and less outstanding in specific aspects. Great for newcomers, but perhaps less appealing for those looking for more challenge.

Passive Skill: Sixth Sense
Wylder can survive death once. This skill is very useful if you get cornered or make mistakes because Wylder will survive death once per match.

Nightfarers Skill: Claw Shot
Wylder throws a Grappling Claw to pull enemies or move toward targets. However, only certain enemies can be pulled using this skill. Claw Shot is suitable for breaking enemy defenses. You can also hold the skill button to see where the grapple will be thrown.

Ultimate Skill: Onslaught Stake
Wylder fires an arrow at close range using his crossbow. You can tap to shoot faster but cause Wylder to be knocked back and increase skill cooldown. If you hold the skill button to charge, damage and stagger will be greater to enemies and you won’t be knocked back.

Guardian

Guardian, as the name implies, is a Nightfarers from the Pinionfolk race—bird-people with a balanced playstyle between offense and defense. They fight using a halberd for attack and a shield for defense, making them perfect if you like being the team’s shield.

Strengths and Weaknesses Guardian has high HP, Strength, and Stamina, making them very strong on the front line. However, they are weak in Faith and FP stats, so they are less suited for magic attacks or magic-based skills. Therefore, Guardian is most effective when played as a tank that can take hits and still deliver physical damage.

Passive Skill: Steel Guard
Guardian can stand firm and use their shield to have a strong guard. This skill gives a guard boost but you can’t run while holding the shield forward.

Character Skill: Whirlwind
Guardian flaps wings to summon a tornado that pulls and knocks down enemies. This skill can also reflect projectiles and can enlarge the area effect when held.

Ultimate Skill: Wings of Salvation
Guardian dives from above to attack a target area and protect the team from enemy attacks. You can also move briefly while in the air.

Recluse

Recluse is a Nightfarers mage type focusing on magic attacks to take down enemies from afar. This class has skills with huge damage that can make enemies fall quickly.

Strengths and Weaknesses As a mage, Recluse has high Intelligence, Faith, and FP—similar to Revenant. It can unleash powerful elemental attacks that are great for clearing opponents. However, on the downside, HP and Strength are very low, making it easy to fall when attacked directly. Perfect for those who like to play safely but deadly from a distance.

Passive Skill: Elemental Defense
Recluse accumulates Elemental residue to recover FP and provides team-specific elemental affinity based on the residue collected.

Character Skill: Magic Cocktail
Recluse combines elements to create powerful skills based on the types of residue collected. The more complex the combination, the stronger the magic.

Ultimate Skill: Soulblood Song
Recluse marks enemies with a blood sigil that increases the damage the enemy receives. This sigil also provides healing and FP recovery effects to the Caster while active.

Duchess

Duchess is a Nightfarers class that relies on a stealthy and fast combat style, typical of an Assassin. She uses a dagger as her main weapon and can be played after you defeat Nightlord Gladius, Beast of Night.

Strengths and Weaknesses Duchess has high Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith stats, making her very suitable as a nimble assassin who can also use magic weapons. However, with low HP and Stamina, she is a glass cannon type—can deal high damage but easily falls if not careful.

Passive Skill: Magnificent Poise
Duchess attacks and dodges using less stamina and can perform quick dodges.

Character Skill: Restage
Duchess deals damage from the team's attacks during the last few seconds to a target enemy. This skill deals massive damage right after the whole team uses their strongest attacks.

Ultimate Skill: Finale
Duchess makes the nearby team invisible to enemies. This skill is great for breaking enemy aggro and allows attacks to their weak points.
