Elden Ring Nightreign comes with a big chunk of Elden Ring’s weapons. Unlike Elden Ring, you cannot find weapons in specific places in Nightreign. Weapons in Nightreign drop as part of normal loot from defeating enemies or opening chests and weapon racks in Limveld. Now, every character in the game is good with only certain weapons or their categories. With the vast number of weapons available in the game, it can be hard to pick the best option for your chosen character. To help you out, here is a complete guide on the best weapons from each character class in Elden Ring Nightreign.
1. Wylder
- Blasphemous Blade
- Gargoyle’s Blackblade
- Godslayer’s Greatsword
- Morgott’s Cursed Sword
- Bloodhound’s Fang
- Maliketh’s Black Blade
- Marika’s Hammer
Wylder is the most versatile character in the game, and it is best to equip him with Greatswords to get the most damage out of him. Weapons with strong weapon arts are perfect for him, as he has a decent amount of FP in the game.
I have personally used Gargoyle’s Blackblade to destroy the final boss by simply spamming the weapon art with Wylder. Similarly, Morgott’s Cursed Sword, Blasphemous Blade, and Maliketh’s Black Blade are perfect for him. Marika’s Hammer is a good choice among other weapons if you are lucky enough to get it.
2. Guardian
- Godskin Stitcher
- Bloody Helice
- Bolt of Gransax
- Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear
- Vyke’s War Spear
- Golden Halberd
Guardian is all about poke damage from behind his big shield. There is no point in using a weapon on him that cannot be used from behind, barring a couple of weapons. Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear is hands down his best weapon in the game, followed by Vyke’s War Spear.
Thrusting swords are also good with Guardian, so you can try Godskin Stitcher, Bloody Helice, or Bolt of Gransax if you get lucky enough.
3. Iron Eye
- Black Bow
- Harp Bow
- Pulley Bow
- Lion Greatbow
- Serpent Bow
There are not many weapon options for Iron Eye. His weapons are best picked with the passive abilities in mind. Another thing you need to check is the weapon art. Barrage is the best weapon art for Iron Eye, letting him spam multiple arrows in quick succession. Among the limited options, Black Bow, Harp Bow, and Pulley Bow are fairly common and provide good base stats.
4. Duchess
- Star Fist
- Hand of Malenia
- Reduvia
- Wakizashi
- Nagakiba
- Moonveil
- Rivers of Blood
Duchess can run both dual daggers and dual katanas. She excels with bleed builds, so get her as much bleed damage as possible. Weapons like Star Fist, Reduvia, and Wakizashi are great picks for Duchess. But you can also use Katanas with her, like Nagakiba, Moonvei, or Rivers of Blood. Another good option is Hand of Malenia, which is a legendary weapon.
5. Raider
- Envoy’s Greathorn
- Giant-Crusher
- Executioner’s Greataxe
- Golem’s Halberd
- Greatsword
- Greathorn Hammer
- Brick Hammer
Raider is your classic barbarian class, so you need to equip the biggest weapon you can find for him. Envoy’s Greathorn is easily his best weapon, followed by Giant Crusher and Golem’s Halberd.
I also enjoy running the Executioner’s Greataxe on Raider as it is easier to find in the game. Other than that, the Greatsword is also a good weapon, but it can feel too slow sometimes. Greathorn Hammer and Brick Hammer are also good weapons that deal a ton of damage while equipped on the Raider.
6. Revenant
- Clawmark Seal
- Gravel Stone Seal
- Godslayer’s Seal
- Carian Regal Scepter
- Azur’s Glintstone Staff
Revenant is mainly a faith-based character, so it is best to run strong seals on her with some small melee weapons like daggers. Her best seal is the Clawmark Seal, which generally comes with Beastial Incantations.
Among the bestial incantation, the Stone of Gurranq incantation is the one that causes the most damage. You can also try the Gravel Stone Seal and Godslayer’s Seal. Otherwise, there is always an option to use staffs instead, with Carian Regal Scepter being the best option.
7. Recluse
- Carian Regal Scepter
- Azur’s Glintstone Staff
- Lusat’s Glintstone Staff
Recluse is not very dependent on her weapons; instead, she depends on her skill. She can perform spells by combining different elements, so her weapons don’t really matter that much. Still, Staffs are her best weapon options in the game, with Carian Regal Scepter leading the charge and Azur’s Glinstone Staff and Lusat’s Glinstone Staff just behind.
8. Executor
- Nagakiba
- Moonveil
- Rivers of Blood
- Hand of Malenia
- Uchigatana
- Executer’s Katana + 2
Executer is a pure Katana character who scales incredibly well on Arcane. Your main priority should be to equip him with as much Blood Loss damage as possible. Nagakiba is one of the best options for the Executor, as it is so easy to find, like Uchigatana.
You can also use Executer’s Katana + 2, which is dropped by the Executer variant of the Night Raider. Still, Rivers of Blood is by far the best weapon on Executor, as its weapon art remains insane even in Nightreign.
So, these are the best weapons for each character in Elden Ring Nightreign. Tell us which weapon is your favorite in the comment section below.
