Elden Ring Nightreign tier list: Who's the best Nightfarer to pick for Limveld?
Choosing a Nightfarer in Elden Ring: Nightreign should be simple. Pick the one that fits your playstyle, head into Limveld, and enjoy the chaos. That's what most players expect. But after spending hours playing with each character, it turns out the balance is not as equal as it first seems. Some characters feel stronger across the board. Whether it's about better skills, easier movement, or stronger damage output against Nightlords, there are clear standouts. Ironeye, for example, feels like a step above the rest thanks to his range and staggering power. Then there's Duchess, who completely changes boss fights with her repeat skills. Of course, every Nightfarer still brings something useful to the party, but a few are just better designed for Nightreign's toughest moments. For players just starting out or trying to build the strongest team, this tier list breaks down where each Nightfarer stands. From the best to the ones that might need some buffs, here's how the Nightreign roster stacks up. S-tier characters in Elden Ring Nightreign Duchess 🗡️#ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN#エルデンリング#EldenRingNightreign Ironeye Ironeye is the top pick in Nightreign. The archer's strength becomes clear during boss fights where melee characters often struggle to reach flying or mobile enemies. His Marking dash adds extra damage for the team and works well as a dodge. His Single Shot ability also hits hard, staggers bosses, and wipes out smaller enemies in one go. With these skills and his consistent ranged output, Ironeye stands out as the strongest Nightfarer, especially in co-op runs. Duchess Duchess is a support character that turns tricky moments into wins. Her Restage skill lets her repeat big damage or staggers from teammates, and her fast cooldown means it can be used often. She also helps with revives using her invisibility-based ultimate, Finale, making her one of the most valuable team picks. Her low health is covered by a special dodge, so she can stay alive while making everyone else stronger. Players do need to unlock her first. A-tier characters in Elden Ring Nightreign Wylder, for your screensavers #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN Raider Raider brings pure strength to the team. His Retaliate skill lets him tank hits and then deliver a massive uppercut. While his rock summon is a bit clunky, his big weapons and ability to break enemy stance make him perfect for aggressive solo runs. He's not the flashiest, but Raider always gets the job done. Wylder Wylder is the all-rounder. He's strong, has enough dexterity to use lighter weapons, and comes with a grappling hook that makes him great at closing gaps. His ultimate deals high stagger damage and also makes him invulnerable while using it. This gives players a solid revival option when things go wrong. Wylder doesn't shine in one area but is reliable in almost every situation. Executor Executor looks amazing on paper. His Cursed Sword skill gives him a generous parry window and his ultimate hits hard and stuns many bosses. The bleed damage from his high arcane stat is also strong. But Nightreign's fast-paced fights don't always work in his favour. He struggles when swarmed or forced to chase enemies. In groups with a strong Ironeye, he often feels slow and left behind. Still, with the right weapon, he remains a solid choice. B-tier characters in Elden Ring Nightreign The Recluse speedrun#NIGHTREIGN #ELDENRING Revenant Revenant can summon skeleton allies that take hits and revive teammates. Her ultimate makes friends temporarily immortal, which is great for clutch revives. But she needs killing blows to summon minions, and that puts her in danger, especially with her low health. She also struggles in Nightlord fights where there are no enemies to convert. Once Duchess is unlocked, Revenant becomes less important in most team builds. Recluse Recluse is a powerful mage when supported by the right teammates. She needs elemental affinities from allies to cast her strongest spells, but if players don't coordinate, her main kit falls flat. She also needs those spells to recharge her FP, making her even more reliant on others. Her ultimate does help by letting players regain HP and FP when hitting marked enemies, but she's risky to use in random groups or solo play. C-tier characters in Elden Ring Nightreign This is Guardian from the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test. He's a Bird Demi-Human Bruh.

How to unlock the Revenant Class in Elden Ring Nightreign?
Elden Ring Nightreign gives you eight character classes, but two of them aren't playable when you first start. The Duchess and the Revenant are locked, and while unlocking the Duchess is tough but straightforward, unlocking the Revenant needs a bit more effort. She's hidden behind a strange relic and a boss fight that tests your skills early on. If you're ready to bring the Revenant into your lineup, here's what you need to do. Find the Besmirched Frame at Roundtable Hold Limveld awaits, Nightfarers.#ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN is now available. First, you'll need to defeat your first Nightlord during the Tricephalos Expedition. Once that's done, head back to the Roundtable Hold and find the Jar Merchant. This small vendor sells Gestures, Relics, and Relic Holders. Look for a Relic called the Besmirched Frame. It costs 1,500 Murk, which you can earn after Expeditions or by selling extra Relics when customizing your Vessel. If the Besmirched Frame isn't there yet, try unlocking the Duchess first. That usually helps trigger this item to appear in the Jar Merchant's stock. Follow the Ghost to a new fight After buying the Besmirched Frame, open your map of Roundtable Hold. You'll see a new icon appear in the east wing, near the main room. Head to that spot and interact with a ghostly figure that looks like a small doll staring at a painting. A hollow frame, guided by a thread pulled taut by her silence, the slain heed her #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN: Touching her sends your character back to the tutorial area in Limveld. But instead of the usual boss, this time you'll fight the Revenant herself, known here as the Night Idol. Boss Fight: The Night Idol This fight is very hard. You'll face the Revenant and three spirit allies: a fast Page with a rapier, a slow but strong Pumpkin Head with a hammer, and a large skeleton torso that stays in the back. You only get three Health Flasks and start the fight at level six with your current class. There's no penalty for losing though. You can retry as many times as needed. Born of sorrow, shaped by the vengeance stirs, the dead rise in #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN: The Page will rush at you quickly, so deal with it first. The Pumpkin Head moves slower and is easier to manage. The skeleton stays still but can slam its hand down if you get close. If it's the last spirit left, it will use beam attacks. So you need to decide whether to leave it for last or take it out earlier. The Revenant uses strong incantations like Triple Rings of Light and Rejection. She'll attack from a distance or up close with sharp claws. She's unpredictable, so take your time and stay alert. Try to dodge her spells and chip away at the spirits before taking her down. If you want an easier route, pick Ironeye. His unlimited ammo lets you stay back and take out the enemies safely. Once only the Revenant is left, bait her into charging and strike when she leaves an opening. Revenant class overview After beating the Revenant, you'll return to Roundtable Hold, and she will be unlocked as a new class. She's tricky to play. Her health is low and her strength lies in magic and summoning. Her passive skill, Necromancy, gives her a chance to revive defeated enemies as allies. Her active skill, Summon Spirit, lets her call up three spirits to fight with her. Her ultimate, Immortal March, gives teammates temporary immortality and revives them if they're close to dying. She's not the strongest class, especially in solo boss fights where she can't raise enemies. But in a co-op team, she's a great support option. If you like summoner-style classes and enjoy a challenge, the Revenant might just be your favourite pick.

‘Unfilmable' video game adaptation officially announced as fans left divided
One of the best-selling games in history is finally getting the live-action film adaptation fans have been yearning for Gamers are torn after the announcement of a live-action movie based on one of the best-selling video games to date. The iconic title, which has shifted over 30 million copies as of April 2025, is none other than the open-world fantasy epic Elden Ring. Bandai Namco set social media abuzz today (Friday, 23rd May) by revealing plans for a live-action film adaptation of Elden Ring, with critically acclaimed director Alex Garland of Ex Machina and Warfare fame at the helm. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), they proudly proclaimed: "We're thrilled to announce that Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and A24 are teaming up with writer and director Alex Garland to bring FromSoftware Inc.'s world-renowned video game ELDEN RING to life as a live-action film. "We're truly excited to bring the world of ELDEN RING to fans in a new form, outside the game", reports the Mirror US. "Stay tuned. The path ahead is only beginning." Developed by FromSoftware, the open world game puts players in charge of a 'Tarnished' protagonist on a quest through the perilous Lands Between, with aims to conquer powerful enemies and claim the title of Elden Lord. Despite millions relishing the immersive universe – co-envisioned by Game of Thrones author George RR Martin – with its absorbing exploration and combat, there's doubt among some about how well it will make the leap from console to cinema screen. Casting more shadow, a doubtful user on X responded to the news posted by Bandai Namco querying: "Isn't this the game which notably has no plot, just hints of one?" One sceptic voiced concerns, saying: "This won't work out well, especially for a movie instead of a TV series. Elden Ring is full of Show, Don't Tell style writing. "Hollywood doesn't know how to properly do that and resorts to Tell, Don't Show writing where everything has to be explained on screen by someone." Mirroring this thought was another commenter who questioned: "Uhhh... Why a film? "Given the sheer length of the Game's plot and amount of Lore, would a series not be more logical?" A further doubter on Reddit expressed: "I would love for this to be good but I don't see how this can be adapted and be accessible to most audiences." Yet, some gaming enthusiasts remain hopeful, buoyed by Garland's involvement. He most recently led the helm of Warfare, which received applause as one of the finest war films in recent memory, boasting a stellar 93 percent approval on Rotten Tomatoes. An aficionado praised, "Garland makes amazing stuff," going on to remark, "And I was gonna say this is an out there director choice but he did make Ex Machina which is all sorts of f***ed up. Could be epic." As the industry buzzes, many wonder if we are on the brink of witnessing the next cinematic fantasy phenomenon akin to Lord of the Rings with anticipation hanging thick in the air. Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. Warfare is available to rent or buy on Prime Video and Apple TV.
