Elden Ring Nightreign Best Character to Main Right Now

1 min read

Three Nightfarers sit above the rest in the current meta, and one of them is also the easiest to pick up cold.

Asking for the Elden Ring Nightreign best character usually gets three answers back, because three Nightfarers currently sit clear of the rest: Wylder, Ironeye and Scholar.

Wylder — the easiest pick

Mobile, survivable, and his Onslaught Stake staggers bosses on its own. If you want one character that is strong without demanding precise play, this is it.

Ironeye — best for a squad

Her marking buffs the whole team's damage and her Ultimate Art can revive an ally, which makes her the character that lifts everyone else's numbers rather than just her own.

Scholar — the DLC addition

Versatile support through Analyze and Communion, buffing allies and debuffing enemies at once. Requires the Forsaken Hollows DLC to access.

The honest pick for a first run

Wylder. He covers offence, mobility and survivability without asking you to learn a support rotation, which is exactly what a first expedition needs.
