This preview of Elden Ring: Nightreign classes is a great breakdown of how each character could potentially perform, Elden Ring Runes based on early beta testing impressions. Here’s a condensed ranking summary to give you a quick look at the best to least impactful classes:
S-Tier: Duchess & Recluse
Duchess (Agile Assassin)
High synergy and mobility make her a game-changer in co-op play. With damage amplification and invisibility, she can significantly increase a team's DPS.
Recluse (Arcane Support Mage)
Fantastic as a backline support, her FP regeneration and healing capabilities make her crucial in tough encounters.
A-Tier: Guardian & Wilder
Guardian (Defensive Tank)
The go-to frontliner, ideal for tanking damage and reviving teammates. Slower but reliable.
Wilder (Balanced Warrior)
Solid all-around combat and utility, with strong mobility. A great choice for general gameplay, though not as specialized as others.
B-Tier: Archer & Deflect
Archer (Precision Marksman)
Likely strong for ranged combat, but vulnerable in close quarters. His effectiveness will depend on his damage scaling.
Deflect (Parry Master)
Highly skill-intensive, this class could be very rewarding for players who master parrying but may be hard to use effectively consistently.
C-Tier: Rock Thrower & Summoner
Rock Thrower (Brutal Berserker)
High damage, but slow and potentially vulnerable against fast enemies. Good for brute-force players but lacks mobility.
Summoner (Spirit Ash Conjurer)
Great for solo players due to the summon mechanic but may struggle in fast-paced or boss fights if the summons don’t perform well.
This ranking gives a clear sense of which classes will likely shine in co-op or solo play, offering players different styles depending on the team's needs.
