How to Use Night Shard

Used Against Dodging Enemies

Elden Ring - Best Used Against Mobile Enemies
If you're having problems dealing with enemies who like to dodge every spell you throw at them, you can use night sorceries to counteract that, as this spell type does not trigger enemy dodges. This works on every enemy and is very effective when fighting those that actively avoid your spells, especially against invaders and fast-moving bosses.

A prime example of where you should use this spell is when fighting against Malenia, Blade of Miquella, as she's known to evade a lot of spells, making you waste your FP against her.

Best Used with Staff of Loss

Although night sorceries can help you immensely with their invisible projectiles, you still deal less damage output compared with other spells.

To help boost up your damage, use Staff of Loss when using night sorceries as this staff boost invisibility sorceries.
