Nightfarers are the Classes of Nightreign. Each Nightfarer has 1 Passive Ability, 1 Character Skill, and 1 Ultimate Art. Each one comes equipped with a single Passive Ability, a single Character Skill, and a single Ultimate Art, and all three of these are unique to that particular Nightfarer, with none of them shared across classes. On top of that, every Nightfarer follows its own stat progression for HP, FP, and Stamina, with some classes naturally having more or less of a given stat depending on the playstyle they're built around.Recluse, for example, starts out with the highest FP of any Nightfarer, which fits her role as a spellcaster, but that comes at the cost of having the lowest HP, making her noticeably more fragile than the others. Despite these differences in stats, every Nightfarer is able to use every weapon in the game, meaning no class is ever locked out of a particular weapon choice. Players can choose between 6 Nightfarers when they start the game: Wylder, Guardian, Ironeye, Raider, Recluse, and Executor, while Duchess and Revenant are unlocked by completing or meeting certain conditions.

Everything We Know About Nightfarers in Nightreign

Fragments of Memory in Nightreign

What are Fragments of Memory and Nightfarer's True Purpose in Elden Ring Nightreign

As players battle their way through the night, fragments of their lost memories may start to resurface, offering glimpses of who they once were. Recovering these fragments of lost memory allows players to fill in the blanks of their Nightfarer's blurred past.

Within these memories, conversations with other Nightfarers or with residents of the Roundtable Hold may reveal new objectives. Completing these goals out in Limveld helps piece together the past, gradually revealing each Nightfarer's origins and the purpose driving them forward. Through this, players come to understand why these Nightfarers have gathered at the Roundtable Hold in the first place, and why they continue to fight.

For the Nightfarers' remembrance quest walkthrough, you can visit the pages of the Nightfarers or check our Remembrance Quests page.

 

Ironeye Nightreign Announced!

During the latest gameplay trailer for Elden Ring: Nightreign, Bandai Namco and From Software revealed Ironeye, a ranged-focused Nightfarer designed to provide precision damage and vital support from a distance. Ironeye begins each run equipped with a bow, immediately establishing them as a long-range specialist. Their core stat is Dexterity, which enhances their effectiveness with ranged weapons and supports a fast, agile playstyle.

ironeye nightfarer class elden ring nightfarer wiki guide 2 1920px

Ironeye’s primary role in a party is that of a Ranged DPS/Support hybrid, capable of thinning enemy ranks from the backline while offering critical utility to their team. One of the standout mechanics highlighted in the trailer is their ability to revive downed allies from a distance. This feature gives Ironeye a unique edge in cooperative play, allowing them to maintain pressure on enemies while still supporting teammates without repositioning dangerously. The Ironeye's abilities are: Eagle EyeMarking, and Single Shot.

How to Unlock and Start Remembrance Quests in Nightreign

While playing through an Expedition in Nightreign, players can stumble across journal entries tied to whichever Nightfarer they happen to be using. Finding these journal entries is what kicks off Remembrance Quests, which is where the backstories for all nine Nightfarers in the game are told. From there, players actually begin a Remembrance through the Roundtable Hold. Completing one of these Remembrances comes with rewards, including Relics and Garbs (Skins).

If players ever get stuck partway through a Remembrance Quest, or find that a journal entry seems to be missing, the fix is simple: start an Expedition using the Nightfarer tied to that quest. From there, defeating the Nightlord at the end of the expedition will unlock the next step of the quest. For more details on Remembrance Quests in general, players can check out this page.

 

How Nightfarers were Designed in Nightreign

The design philosophy behind the Nightfarers rests on two core pillars: build diversity and fantasy archetypes.

The first pillar, build, draws its inspiration from the kind of flexibility found in Dark Souls and Elden Ring, where players distribute stats to put together specialized builds, whether that's a Strength build geared toward heavy weapons or a Magic build centered on spellcasting.

The second pillar comes from the classic idea of fantasy archetypes. Each Nightfarer is built around a recognizable role within a dark fantasy setting, covering things like sword-wielding frontliners, stalwart defenders carrying shields, and skilled magic users, among others. These archetypes give every Nightfarer a familiar foundation to stand on, while still leaving room for players to explore the unique twists each one brings within Limveld.

Together, these two pillars shape a cast of Nightfarers that's diverse in playstyle yet thematically grounded as a whole. Each one is designed to offer its own distinct way of playing and its own narrative flavor, all while staying true to the world and tone of Elden Ring Nightreign.

 

Fashion Souls in Elden Ring Nightreign

The Overview Trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign gave players a glimpse of various outfits, including some familiar costumes that fans may recognize from other games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. These outfits exist purely for cosmetic purposes, changing the appearance of a Nightfarer without affecting anything else. They don't provide any combat effects or buffs to a character's stats, gameplay, or skills.

CPlayers can change outfits by using the Fitting Mirror found at the Roundtable Hold. The same Fitting Mirror can also be used to unlock new costumes by spending Murk.

New Nightfarers Join Nightreign

The new and remaining Nightfarers or classes in Nightreign have been revealed and are now complete, giving Elden Ring fans something exciting to look forward to on launch day. The second Nightfarer that was announced is the Raider, a barbarian-type character focused on delivering devastating attacks while also having the capability of withstanding enemy attacks. Although the Raider may not be as "tanky" as the Guardian, the designated tank and protector of the team, Raider can still stand on its own and act as the team's protector or tank.

The Raider features a passive ability, Fighter's Resolve, making the Raider immune to being knocked down when using his skill, Retaliate. Retaliate is a skill that allows the Raider to deliver a vigorous punch that can stagger even the largest enemies. His ultimate art is Totem Stela, which summons a Giant Tombstone that deals damage. Boosts nearby allies and can be used as a platform. As shown on the recent Overview Trailer, the Ironeye climbs up the tombstone summoned by the Raider and uses it as a platform to snipe enemies from above.

Two other Nightfarers were also revealed in the Overview Trailer, but their names were revealed in a promotional image that displayed merchandise of the upcoming title. These classes are the Executor and Revenant. The Executor wears a fully decked bronze armor and wields a katana, featuring a Sekiro-inspired gameplay that revolves around parrying and delivering deadly swings from its katana. The Revenant is described and suspected to be the "summoner" who can utilize Spirit Ashes to summon creatures to assist the team in combat.

 

Nightfarers (Classes) Network Test Analysis

 

What We Learned from Network Test

 

 

Best Class in Nightrein: Optimizing Your Team

The key to success in Nightreign lies in team composition and coordination. Besides their own playstyle, players will have to coordinate and combine their abilities with the rest of the team to be able to make the most out of each and every challenging situation presented towards them. Team composition and understanding team roles, as well as being able to combine and take advantage of the synergies between them, are vital to survive the harsh combats.

Each character also comes with unique skills and ultimate attacks. For example, Wylder can use a Claw Shot to reel in enemies or quickly dodge attacks, while Recluse can mark enemies to allow teammates to replenish HP and FP when dealing damage with Soulblood Song. Some of these skills are on cooldown timers, while others require you to hit enemies with attacks, and finding synergies between Nightfarers is key to surviving the tougher enemy encounters.

Regardless, players can experience Nightreign as a single player game. Health pools will scale down so that it is not too overwhelming for solo players.

        Nightfarers I expected for random

        Wylder: leader , go first , parry god guy for knight-type enemies , BBH , balancers

        Guardian: no matter what you must not die

        Ironeye: just mark the boss bro.

        Duchess: dodge master , don't go 3-bar , do a lot of damage , appreciate if not play halo slop.

        Raider: stop spamming your ultimate that make the fight harder bruh

        Revenant: I'll be happy if your relics are legit.

        Recluse: do a lot of damage , don't go 3-bar on every boss , appreciate if you can show some fancy cocktail.

        Executor: at least already beat Sekiro

        Undertaker: don't go 3-bar too often

        Scholar: stop wasting time eat everything on ground pls , we have time limit in this game.

          Nightfarers’ DoN trio players in a nutshell:

          Wylder: two damage negations at full hp and still manages to die because they believe they’re tanks for whatever reason. Use their ult on a lion or every time they’re in danger as if they were summoning mahoraga. I’ve only met three good ones that actually use their parry shield and the character skill with precision.

          Duchess: points magma wyrm, one of the least profitable enemies, at level 6 because dude wants his halo scythe, manages to get three bars with a common field boss, and takes all starlight shards. What a way to ruin an amazing character’s reputation.

          Revenant: beast claw. Don’t care if cheated or not, still boring. Dudes can find stone of gurranq but choose to ignore an incantation that’s better unless you have accumulated charged incantations passives.

          Ironeye: picks less likely to be targeted and still dies. They use the mark less often than what they should and use the bow for reviving three bars instead of a greataxe. The only good ones I’ve met are those with dormant katana.

          Guardian: either the S tier type that are aware their ult is their best asset and use succesful guarding fills art/defeating enemies fills art relics, or the ones that pick him for caligo.

          Executor: most are aware that their ult is now better than wylder’s. Yeah ik rivers of blood, but they’re simply way better than wylder during the expedition when they know their strengths and thus end up doing more damage and guaranteeing everyone’s survival.

          Raider: becomes the most durable character if you help him find good passives. There’s three types: the ones that play like a wylder and die, the ones that know accumulated negation relics are the best for him, and the scant few that use these plus that one “dregs of libra” build.

          Recluse: most migrated after the crystal nerf to suckle on their precious halo scythe. Remaining ones are good at surviving even when having one of the lowest amounts of hp in the game. Faith ones are the most skilled. Still, if the wind blows, they die.

          Scholar: 90% left after pot build was nerfed, thank god. Currently only good players use him well enough with proper relics as support (love you guys).

          Undertaker: melee S tier powerhouses that sometimes forget they can get one/two tapped. They’re most of the best frontliners I’ve met.

          • Anonymous

            Strange that there's no Nightfarer that start with an ultra greatsword, considering that's probably the most popular weapon class in Fromsoft games.

            • Anonymous

              Every team got the: babysitter ironeye with 2k hours, the revenant with all god roll dps relics thats on the ground the whole game, and the guardian whos been trying to pull aggro for the last 10 minutes but the ironeye keeps stealing it

              • Anonymous

                For those playing undertaker please take note that she has a D in dexterity. That means any straight sword/katana/claw/dagger/spear etc is not for her. Even with her relic that boosts successive attack damage. Please instead use two strength scaling weapons, or use her (imo) awful dexterity increase relic.

                Every single time with her, and I’m always playing scholar or duchess and she’s got all my gear and I’ve got an axe.

                    It really doesn't matter which class you play as long as you have fun playing it, the classes i have the most fun playing with are Guardian and Executor for their high skill ceilings and they are considered two of the weakest by most people but i could not care less about that lol.

                      oh one more thing, the best team comp is Wylder, Ironeye and duchess, not every Nightlord but most, if u wanna be Meta slave, the duchess has to be the dps so cant run a dagger duchess just go all magic, wylder gotta take most aggro and iron just marks and pops,

                        Is there a tarnished character mod where you can choose which stat to upgrade ,and the drops are actually randomized (normally picked character can affect drops's outcomes ,for ex: choose Guardian will increase halberd droprate).

                                        The way i see it, there's no reason to play Wylder instead of Raider, but there's also no reason to play Raider instead of Ironeye.

                                          Would you rather play with:

                                          1) two Guardians on Libra expedition

                                          2) Revenant and Executor on unknown nightlord

                                          3) Duchess and Ironeye, but they are Chinеse players with god mode relics and ignore your existence

                                          All in depth 5

                                            having just bought the game, are there any stereotypes I should be aware of before I queue?
                                            I don't have much experience with Souls games, and I want to avoid making people mad at my lack of skill/experience.

                                              Who is the least good class to use in these specific game modes?

                                              - solo normal mode
                                              - trio normal mode
                                              - solo deep of night
                                              - trio deep of night

                                              My guess would be Recluse, Guardian, and for the last two it's a tie between Raider, Guardian and Revenant if we are talking about the highest depth.

                                              (I'm sorry bird mains, yall are still goated)

                                                Triple Guardian = best possible team comp in the game. You get constant stance break on bosses through guard counters, naturally have a ton of survivability and can easily pick up your teammates with ult in case they go down. Bird goated!

                                                  wished they skins for each body part instead of a set tbh. And it's only have 5 skins each character . There is nothing left to farm for.

                                                    We Wylder and Raider players should actually unite and acknowledge our general superiority over dex and magic users

                                                        It doesn't matter who you play in depth 5 if you were competent enough to make it so far, but having one Ironeye or Duchess is absolutely required. Having both of them together is obviously better since status effects + mark + restage results in godly damage.

                                                          S+ Raider and Ironeye

                                                          A Wylder just because Raider is better

                                                          B Duchess and Recluse, this is the mid-tier

                                                          F Guardian, Executor and Revenant, we all know why

                                                            C for ... : Duchess , Recluse , Revenant : always play with deep relic specific spell bonus (Crystalian) + bonus damage with a cute curse that not nerf anything , still not found any legit player in depth 5 playing these class...

                                                                      Raider = Has serious anger issues, will stall the fight with his rock and look at you like it's your fault. The lack of voice chat and high pitched slurs gives the illusion of him being somewhat endearing.

                                                                      Executor = Thinks he's the guy. He's not the guy.

They both start with 2 weapons and the other classes don't, but they can't crack open statues for free Smithing stones so you either need to spend extra runes if you want to upgrade both starter weapons and/or go to 2 separate mines. Would help diversify their gameplay loop a bit imo.

Meanwhile Revenant gets to be wannabe Raider with +30 strength or something but useless as faith caster. Everyone gets actual benefits from their new respective relic effects except for her. Ts kinda sad to be honest and I hope it will be changed upon deep of night release

                                                                                  Based on 300 hours of playing decent amount of all characters. I think that Guardian in particular requires unnecessary amount of effort for optimal play, and it's not all that rewarding. I'm Revenant main and I admit that she's underwhelming and only makes up for her flaws with S faith scaling, please buff our mascot Ishizaki

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      Based on everyone's stats at level 15, the big gaps seem to be STR/INT and STR/ARC.

                                                                                      STR/DEX is Wylder (50 + 40), STR/FAI is unfortunately Guardian (39 + 21), DEX/INT is Duchess (41 + 42), DEX/FAI is also Duchess (41 + 27), and DEX/ARC is Executor (63 + 28).

                                                                                      Some of those aren't very good (Guardian), but the two that are missing are obviously missing. Executor is the closest thing we have to STR/ARC, but he only has 25 STR. STR/INT would be Wylder, but he only has 15 INT.

                                                                                      It's worth noting that STR and DEX are graded on different curves than INT and FAI. ARC is on a curve all to its own. As the game sees it, the 12 ARC that Revenant has is B tier, while her 21 STR is only C tier. This is why I consider Guardian's 21 FAI to fill a role better than the 25 STR from Executor, though I admit that is only my opinion.

                                                                                      All of that to say, Blaidd's Royal Greatsword and Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear need homes.

A uchigatana has higher overall damage (outside of the first frost/bleed/poison) from level 1-15 tested in training area even with relic buffs. It sacrifices his relic slots and starter weapon damage all for little to no gain, please just build with his character relics as their there for a reason and please stop leaving as soon as you die to a red wolf and crucible knight, just stay with the team and stop looting every church before head to the castle to die and leave, if you don't want to work with teams please do solo. -Sincerely The Vileblood Knight(Guardian/Revanant/Executor main and achievement hunter/100%er since Dark Souls).

Stop fighting over who uses what characters, there are bad players and good players in each class. No one wants to hear you complain about a class because of 1 or 2 bad experiences.

                                                                                                                            >create weakpoint.

                                                                                                                            >create weakpoint.

                                                                                                                            >*pew pew pew*

                                                                                                                            It gets really boring. Sure he's good and really efficient, but also just dull and ends up as one of my least favorite characters fun factor wise.
                                                                                                                            He's like the worst part of classic souls mages of just throwing magic fireballs, and he isn't that great melee compared to Executor because of his lower hp and dex.
