The Guardian character in Elden Ring, Nightreign, serves as the tank. He has the maximum starting health and carries a strong shield for defense, primarily focusing on protecting his teammates from harm. His high strength and vast stamina also make him effective at dishing out damage when needed.
Elden Ring Nightreign Guardian attributes
As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but notice that the characteristics of a character in this game reveal two crucial aspects: their initial stats for health, stamina, magical reserves, and physical strength, and their preferred weapon proficiencies. The best possible stat is an S, followed by A, B, C, D, and E, which represents the lowest level. This information sets the stage for the character’s performance in the game.
Here’s what each stat means:
- HP – How large your health pool is.
- FP – How large your mana pool is.
- Stamina – How large your stamina gauge is.
- Strength – How much physical damage you can deal, scaling with colossal weapons.
- Dexterity – Proficiency with daggers, bows, katanas, and other fast weapons.
- Intelligence – Your magical potency, impacting the power of sorceries. Scales well with weapons such as the Moonveil katana and Fallingstar Beast Jaw.
- Faith – How effective your healing and holy incantations are. Scales with weapons such as Golden Epitaph and Erdtree Greatbow.
- Arcane – Holy damage and death blight negation. Increases blood loss buildup for bleeding weapons. Scales with weapons such as Serpent Bow and Rivers of Blood.
Here are Guardian’s attributes:
- HP – S
- FP – C
- Stamina – A
- Strength – B
- Dexterity – C
- Intelligence – D
- Faith – C
- Arcane – C
Elden Ring Nightreign Guardian abilities
Every Nightreign character comes equipped with two main skills and one inherent skill. These skills can be upgraded using specific artifacts, enhancing their power. Here are the abilities for the Guardian character:
1. Active Skill 1 – [Name of Skill 1]
2. Active Skill 2 – [Name of Skill 2]
3. Passive Skill – [Name of Passive Skill]
These skills can be modified using certain relics, making the Guardian character even stronger.
Passive: Steel Guard
Unlike other passive abilities, this one, which significantly enhances defense, is not truly passive in nature. Instead, it’s activated by raising your shield with the LB button and then pressing the dodge key. In this state, Guardian firmly positions himself and leans his shield forward. While active, your stamina steadily depletes, but it effectively repels anything thrown at it. With careful management of your stamina, you can endure every single attack, thus protecting your team. It works particularly well with any weapon enhancements that boost HP upon successful blocks.
Character Skill: Whirlwind
This passive skill generates a gust of wind that attracts weaker adversaries towards you. Sustaining it prolongs the affected area. It’s most effective when used against swarms of smaller foes, as they can be manipulated like dolls in a breeze if timed correctly while moving within their midst.
Ultimate Art: Wings of Salvation
In critical situations, the Wings of Salvation usually saves the day. Besides inflicting substantial damage on adversaries, it has the power to resurrect allies if they’re close to the area where it lands. By holding down the ability, your weapon remains stationary in the ground and forms a protective shield around you. This shield significantly boosts your defense, enabling both you and your companions to withstand attacks that would otherwise be lethal. Once you acquire the relic that makes this shield also restore health, always keep it equipped.
Elden Ring Nightreign Guardian’s best weapons
Similar to Wylder, Guardian is quite adaptable when it comes to the types of weapons he can wield. Nevertheless, having a powerful shield in his secondary hand is generally advisable. This preference for a potent weapon in the primary hand becomes instinctive. For best results, opt for polearms or any weapon that delivers substantial damage at range, but he’s equally content with a greatsword.
