Complete Nightfarer Breakdowns

Discover each Nightfarer's distinct abilities, combat mechanics, and optimal playstyles for maximum effectiveness.

Wylder

Wylder serves as the ideal starter character with balanced stats. His Sixth Sense passive grants a second chance by preventing fatal damage once per encounter. While proficient with most standard weapons, he particularly shines when wielding Greatswords.

Wylder Character Guide

Guardian

As Nightreign's defensive specialist, the Guardian wields massive shields paired with halberds, rapiers, or crossbows for protection-focused combat. Though dealing moderate damage, his unparalleled defensive capabilities and crowd control make him invaluable in team strategies.

Guardian Character Guide

Ironeye

Ironeye specializes in ranged combat with bows, though his dexterity allows limited melee options like daggers. New players appreciate his straightforward mechanics, but his low defense requires careful positioning to avoid direct confrontations.

Ironeye Character Guide

Duchess

This agile Nightfarer excels with hit-and-run dagger tactics and spellcasting. Her signature blade enchantment and ability to use both Sorceries and Incantations make her versatile. Ideal weapons include those with Magic/Frost attributes or causing Blood Loss.

Duchess Character Guide

Raider

The Raider dominates with colossal strength weapons, trading mobility for devastating power strikes. His natural poise ensures attacks land despite incoming damage, though limited FP restricts skill usage.

Raider Character Guide

Revenant

This support specialist summons spectral allies while wielding potent Incantations. Her high faith enables offensive spells, but without FP regeneration, her damage output remains controlled. Perfect for players who prefer tactical support roles.

Revenant Character Guide

Recluse

A high-risk, high-reward spellcaster who regenerates FP. The Recluse delivers massive magical damage but requires careful positioning and resource management. Her versatility extends to multiple elemental affinities, rewarding skilled play.

Executor

Specializing in precision strikes, the Executor wields katanas and dexterity weapons to inflict rapid Blood Loss. His high arcane and dexterity stats enable diverse weapon choices, though fragile defenses demand deliberate positioning.

Limveld Exploration Guide

Maxroll's comprehensive Limveld map details key locations, enemy encounters, and valuable rewards. Special Raid Events offer challenging battles with powerful bonuses upon victory.

Defeating Nightlords triggers Shifting Earth events that transform map sectors, yielding unique powers. Master these dynamic encounters with Maxroll's dedicated event guides.

Essential Nightreign Systems

Roundtable Hold serves as Nightreign's central hub for character changes, training, and expedition preparation. Consult Maxroll's Roundtable Hold guide to maximize this sanctuary's features.

The metaprogression system involves collecting Relics (permanent upgrades with random or fixed attributes) and Vessels (equipment slots unlocked through progression). Strategic combination of these elements can dramatically enhance your Nightfarer's capabilities.
