Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant guide- How to play, tips, tricks, and more
(Image via YouTube/Bandai Namco Entertainment) In Elden Ring: Nightreign, Revenant, the master of shadows and spirit, is the unique support class, blending Necromancy with some powerful incantations. Unlike the straightforward melee fighters, she relies upon summoning the spirits and strategic spellcasting to dominate battles. Mastering her requires an understanding of her fragile nature. The Elden Ring Revenant guide here covers how to play Revenant effectively, the best gears for her to maximize potential, and tips and tricks for better gameplay. How to play Revenant in Elden Ring Nightreign ? ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN | Revenant Character Trailer To play Revenant means to embrace the backline role. The class thrives as the backline spellcaster, using the summoned spirits to distract the enemies while she casts the incantations. Additionally, her low HP makes the direct combat riskier, so the positioning here is an important key. Always ensure that you keep a safe distance and allow the spectral allies—Sebastian, Helena, and Frederick- tank damage. Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant Guide - How to play Revenant in Nightreign To switch between the summons is important. Helen is agile, Sebastian excels in crowd control, and Frederick deals with AoE damage. Use the three as per the enemy types—fast foes need Helen, while the group requires Sebastian and Frederick. Make sure to monitor all of their health through the skill menu. They regenerate when either near Sites of Grace or inactive. Revenant's passive Necromancy quite occasionally revives the slain enemies as temporary allies, thereby adding some extra pressure in the fights. Note: Land some final blows to trigger it. It will create valuable distractions and turn the tide without draining the FP. Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant tips and tricks for better play How to Carry with Revenant - Elden Ring Nightreign Tips & Tricks Manage the summons wiser. Every spirit has its unique strengths. Like, Sebastian is ideal for the bosses due to the tankiness. Helen, on the other hand, handles the weaker enemies in an efficient manner. Rotate them to keep their health up. Save the ultimate for the crucial moments. Immortal March can revive the downed allies and give temporary immortality. Use it when there are intense boss fights to prevent the team wipes and not minor skirmishes. Give priority to the ranged combat, as melee options are weak here. Equip the Sacred Seal for the incantations and the staff for the versatility. The backup bow will help when FP runs low. While the class's Dexterity will allow the use of dagger, give priority to the Sacred Seals for the incantations. Keep the focus on landing the final kills to maximize the free minions of Necromancy. Collect the Starlight Shards. The FP management is a huge struggle. So, stock up the shards to replenish the FP during prolonged fights. Elden Ring Nightreign's best gear: Relics, weapons, and talismans ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN | Revenant Character Gameplay Reveal The gear choices amplify the class's support and survival. Seek the relics that are marked specifically for the Revenant, like ones that boost power, while fighting right alongside the spirits. Give priority to the relics, enhancing Faith (primary stat), Ultimate Art charge rate (offers better and faster access to the Immortal March), Intelligence, Mind (for the FP), or ones letting the healing items of Revenant affect the allies. They turn the class into the potent force multiplier. For the talismans, keep focus on FP sustainability and casting efficiency. Cerulean Amber Medallion for max FP, Ancestral Spirit's Horn for FP on kill, and Radagon Icon for faster casting are some of the top picks for Revenant. Even Gravel-school Talisman will be good to boost the sorcery damage if you are using staves. Equip the strong Sacred Seals as the main weapon for leveraging the S-tier Faith scaling of Revenant for powerful incantations. Keep the gear enhancing survivability, like the damage negation at the full HP, and handy, too. Also, use Staves, as it's useful for intelligence-based sorceries if you are trying to diversify damage types. Do not forget the bows and daggers. They are good backup options when the FP gets depleted. Make sure you embrace the rhythm of Revenant. Command the spectral family wisely and support the allies from safety. Unleash the power of the dead, too. With some careful positioning, the right gear, and smart summoning, the necromancer will become an indispensable asset in the fight against Nightlord. Do not forget to stay safe, manage FP, and use Revenant's ultimate at the right moment to turn the tide in the battles.

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.

Why is Revenant disabled in Apex Legends
Image via: Respawn Entertainment If anyone is here to talk about some blood-soaked legends in Eminent Season 25 , there are certainly some dark twists there in the live gameplay-oriented development. Apex Legends executive developer, Respawn Entertainment , promptly removed Revenant from all game modes stating that the character had been subjected to the most widespread abuse of a game-breaking exploit . This oddly timed decision stirred up currents of curiosity and concern among gaming audiences, especially given how much Revenant has come into prominence since his explosive rework in Season 18. The Dark Side of an Exploit In Apex, Revenant stands before us with all the aura of fury, rebirth, and rebellion. Having been once a man, a hitman in the old days of humanity, Revenant's story is of vengeance and loss. The irony was that his invincibility to death became the very problem again-this time, in gameplay. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The place-to-be for automation and robotics Undo Relevant topics from automation, AI and robotics Undo Valuable contacts with international exhibitors Undo Fresh input at the top-class supporting program Undo The leading trade fair for automation & robotics Undo Respawn confirmed that players had indeed found an ingenious way to make Revenant completely invulnerable to incoming damage. The actual exploit was down to a potion of specific actions, which, once triggered, would make Revenant untouchable. This caused gross imbalance in all game modes, especially in Ranked, where fair play is paramount. Why Revenant Was Disabled Respawn's decision to disable Revenant came with a lot of thought put into it. Here's why the disablement was warranted: Game Integrity at Stake: Competitive fairness stays at the bedrock of any multiplayer shooter. A legend invincible not just through any single match but the whole Ranked ecosystem. Massive Abuse: This was no petty little glitch. Before it could be put under any serious scrutiny, it was discovered by and exploited by hordes of players, ruining the experience for lots of others. Ranked Manipulation: The cheat mechanism let players gain RP points illegitimately, allowing them to go up on the leaderboards in ways that violated the spirit of the game. Community Backlash: Social media and forums were flooded with complaints about Revenant players exploiting bugs. This frustration from legit players put additional pressure on Respawn to have an expedited response. Set Faster Precedent: Respawn has reacted similarly in the past to keep the competitive balance in check. Disabling a legend, a rare occurrence, to be sure is a strong statement that exploits such as this will not be tolerated. REVENANT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE GAME What Happens Next? The removal of Revenant is only temporary but stands for something broader: even reworked Legends with modernized kits are not immune to bugs. Respawn has not announced a return date, but they have confirmed they are actively working on a fix. This moment is an excellent narrative mirror in the in-game story for Revenant, whose powers were taken away, and he now seeks answers. While the players may miss that lethal edge in their squad, maintaining the integrity of the game comes first. Will Revenant rise again, deadlier and glitch-free? Only time and a patch will tell.
