Raw Stats and Damage Increases
The player should hunt for Dormant Powers that provide raw increases to stats and damage as this will directly increase the chances of the expedition surviving. Be sure to pick the right ones that the class of the character can utilize.
Magic-related Dormant Powers, for example are best utilized by the Recluse or the Revenant. Critical hit increases meanwhile are best utilized by the Raider or Duchess.
Another way to achieve this is via Dormant Powers providing Weapons which may be of higher quality and will increase the stats of the character the player is on.
List of All Classes and Character Unlocks
Focus on Survivability and Recovery
Elden Ring Nightreign highly embraces survivability and recovery as one of its mainstay necessities for most runs to survive. Increasing your Maximum HP or increasing HP recovery through flasks paired with certain powerups to healing will increase the odds of an expedition succeeding!
Passive Attack Effects
Aside from this, some Dormant Powers focusing on adding secondary effects such as lightning damage on dodges and a healing field at low health will help add damage or flexibility to the setup of the team. Having additional attack effects are also fun additions to have in-game.
Classes and Preferred Dormant Powers
All Classes have preferred Dormant Powers that will specifically help their build. Mix and match these Dormant Powers, try out different classes and remember what Dormant Powers work out best for you in a run!
Most of the Best Dormant Powers here will be universally replicated in these builds so it is a good reference to remember them whenever you acquire a boost or buff.

The player will find an interactable where the boss was felled that they must interact with to open up a menu. They must then choose one of three passive buffs that the player can receive to their stats or equipment.
Clearing out Points of Interests
Some Dormant Powers provide Talisman to players and can be found by exploring Points of Interest around the map, in particular, Fort Haight provides a guaranteed chest containing three random talismans in the central hold that all party members can get.
What are Dormant Powers?
Passive Buffs Provided to the Player
