Axe-Swinging Ale-Drinking Dragon Uppercutter Joins Elden Ring as Nightreign Raider

Dive into the details of this formidable character and explore the lineup of revealed characters so far in FromSoftware's eagerly awaited multiplayer survival game.

The Axe-Swinging Raider

As Elden Ring Nightreign gears up for its release, FromSoftware has been introducing a variety of characters for players to experience. On April 15th, via a Twitter (X) post, the developers showcased Raider, a battle-hardened Viking who swings his axe with devastating force against any adversary. The trailer highlights his ability to deliver powerful blows, impressively taking down a dragon with a single strike.

Raider's skill set extends beyond brute strength. He can summon a massive monolith, which serves as a strategic platform not only for himself but also for his allies. This tactical advantage is particularly beneficial for long-range combatants, as it elevates them out of reach from ground-based enemies, allowing for safer attacks from above. Raider can then exploit this elevation to launch aerial assaults on his foes.

While the trailer does not delve into specifics about his full range of attacks and abilities, it promises a thrilling gameplay experience with this character. Fans eager to get their hands on Nightreign can pre-order the game to receive an exclusive in-game gesture.
