Overview

  • Nightreign’s roster spans distinct roles: Guardian tanks hits, Wylder excels in versatile melee, Duchess blends speed and sorcery, and Revenant commands spirits from the backline.
  • Guardian boasts top-tier HP and stamina scaling with Steel Guard stance for absorbing damage, Whirlwind crowd control and Wings of Salvation ultimate that can shield allies.
  • Wylder acts as a flexible frontline attacker, using Claw Shot for engagements and Onslaught Strike to stagger bosses while benefiting from balanced Strength and Dexterity scaling.
  • Players unlock the Duchess by securing the Old Pocket Watch in the Tricephalos Expedition and returning it to the Priestess in Roundtable Hold to recruit this high-mobility daggers-and-sorcery hybrid.
  • Unlocking the Revenant requires buying a Besmirched Frame from the Small Jar Bazaar, interacting with its phantom in Roundtable Hold and defeating the Night Idol to add a spectral support caster.
