If you're a fan of Elden Ring and enjoy the thrill of wielding massive weapons to dominate foes with strength-based attacks, then you'll find the Raider class in Nightreign to be right up your alley. Check out the video below to see the Raider in action.

While the Guardian class in Nightreign is geared towards defense, equipped with a shield and an ultimate ability that protects the entire party, the Raider is designed as an offensive juggernaut. The Raider's key ability, Retaliate, might seem modest at first glance with its two stomps that deliver physical and poise damage. However, the true power of Retaliate lies in the Raider's passive ability, which prevents knockback during its execution. This means you can absorb enemy attacks without interruption, and the second stomp can be upgraded to a devastating punch that staggers even the mightiest foes if you successfully soak up a significant hit.

The Raider's ultimate ability, Totem Stela, is a game-changer. By slamming the ground, the Raider summons a large totem that not only inflicts substantial damage to nearby enemies but also serves as a strategic asset. The totem can be climbed, offering a safe haven or a vantage point for you and your teammates. Additionally, it boosts the damage output of everyone in your party, making it a crucial ability to coordinate for maximum impact in battles.

Starting with the Raider's Greataxe, which inflicts fire damage and comes with the "Endure" skill to help you withstand enemy attacks, the Raider is well-equipped for close combat. As you progress, seeking out larger strength-scaling weapons will enhance your playstyle, perfectly aligning with the Raider's aggressive approach.

Among all the classes in Nightreign, the Raider has been the most enjoyable for me. It excels in one-on-one combat, which is fitting given its Remembrances feature one-on-one boss fights in a gladiatorial setting, adding a thrilling twist to the gameplay.
