Elden Ring Nightregnt- Raider Class hands-on impression- IGN first

One of the great things about Elden Ring has always been the diversity of the play styles it enables, one of my favorite play styles is loading power, grabbing the biggest weapon I can find, and hitting enemies with jump attacks that destroy poses and heavy recharges. If that's you, please allow me to introduce you to Nightreign's Raider (see the video below).

While The Guardian – another large burly class with lots of health and a big weapon – focuses more on defense shields as the defensive and ultimate ability of the activate weapon, which can mitigate damage throughout the party for a long time, Laizer is designed as an absolute offensive force.

The most important ability of RAIDER is to retaliate, which does not seem to be a very powerful skill at first – only two stomps will cause some physical and balanced damage. But the real magic is that due to the passiveness of the attacker, he cannot be knocked down in revenge. This means that Raider basically has a free-to-do damage technique that allows you to fully armor with almost all enemies or boss attacks, and if you manage to absorb attacks that will cause a lot of damage, the extra bonus of that weak second stom is replaced by an extremely powerful fist, and even if you manage to absorb the biggest foe, you will miss out on the biggest foe.

Then there is Raider's ultimate Totem Stela, which causes him to slam the ground and cause a large totem burst, causing huge damage to anything around him. Like all the other final members of Night Walker, it's an incredibly powerful technique that can change the trend of combat. Not only does it cause a lot of damage, but the totem is climbable, allowing both you and your teammates to be safely lowered or a favorable point. besides, return It also provides everyone with damage enthusiasts, which means it is one of the first Ults you want to use so the rest of the team can benefit from it.

Raider starts with Raider's Greavtaxe, a fairly solid starting weapon that can deal some fire damage and has a “lasting” skill that basically gives you another way to absorb and power through enemy attacks in case the record is cooled. Still, as the night gets closer, you'll definitely want to find better weapons, and powerful strength-size weapons are definitely the weapon style of the strategy.

Of all the classes I performed on Nightreign, Raider was definitely the funniest thing I had to have fun. This is the best fit for one-on-one fights, and it's appropriate because its memory (we'll talk about these fights later that month) lets you have one-on-one boss fights on a stage of some kind of fighting, which is a great pace change.

That's what we're going to do with Nightreign class, but keep an eye on Nightreign's mechanics, as well as interviews with developers throughout the month, as IGN First continues for the first time.
