Elden Ring Nightrein - Character Skills

This guide details the Character Skill of each Nightfarer in Elden Ring Nightreign. See a list of all Character Skills in the game and learn how they work.

List of All Character Skills

Character Video/Effect
Wylder IconWylder Claw Shot
Fire a chained claw to drag enemies toward you or yourself toward terrain. Use it on the ground to dash forward and close gaps fast.
Guardian IconGuardian Whirlwind
Unleash a burst of wind from your wings, dealing AoE damage around you. Great for clearing crowds or interrupting enemies.
Duchess IconDuchess Restage
Activating Restage summons a ghost of a recently damaged enemy, causing it to relive and take the same damage again. The ghost mirrors the enemy’s reaction, creating an echo of the original moment.
Recluse IconRecluse Magic Cocktail
Gather elemental marks left on enemies. Collecting 3 restores FP and lets you cast a mixed-element finisher.
Ironeye IconIroneye Marking
Stab with a spectral dagger to apply weak points on the enemy, increasing damage from follow-up attacks.
Raider IconRaider
Retaliate
Cannot be knocked down during Retaliate, allowing you to tank enemy attacks and respond with a powerful stagger-inducing punch that replaces the usual second stomp..
Executor IconExecutor Cursed Sword
Deflect with precise timing to deal posture damage and power up the Cursed Sword. Early deflects still block but consume heavy stamina. When glowing, gain bonus damage and a powerful slash.
Revenant IconRevenant Summon Spirit
When you activate the skill, pick one of three ghostly apparitions (Helen the agile page, Frederick the burly cook, or Sebastian the doting butler). These summons will attack enemies or distract them.
