The Axe-Swinging Raider

As Elden Ring Nightreign gears up for its much-anticipated release, FromSoftware has been keeping the excitement alive by showcasing various characters players can embody. On April 15, through a captivating Twitter (X) post, they introduced the Raider, an aging Viking who isn't afraid to swing his axe at any adversary.

The trailer for Raider showcases his prowess in combat, demonstrating heavy attacks capable of taking down even a dragon with a single, mighty blow. But it's not just about brute force; Raider can also summon a massive monolith, creating a strategic platform that benefits both himself and his allies. This elevated vantage point is particularly advantageous for long-range characters, making it challenging for enemies to reach them while allowing Raider to launch surprise aerial assaults.

While the trailer doesn't delve into the specifics of his attacks and abilities, it's clear that Raider is a formidable addition to the Nightreign roster. Fans can now pre-order Nightreign to receive an exclusive in-game gesture as a bonus.
