The Axe-Swinging Raider

Elden Ring Nightreign is building anticipation as its release date approaches, and FromSoftware has been delighting fans with character reveals. On April 15, via a post on Twitter (X), they unveiled the latest addition to the roster: Raider. This aging Viking is depicted swinging his axe with ferocity, ready to take on any adversary, including dragons with a single, powerful blow.

The trailer showcases Raider's ability to deliver heavy attacks, demonstrating his prowess in combat. Additionally, he can summon a large monolith block, which serves as a strategic platform for both himself and his allies. This feature is particularly beneficial for long-range characters, as it elevates them out of reach from ground-based enemies, allowing Raider to launch aerial assaults on his foes.

While the trailer does not delve into the specifics of Raider's attacks and abilities, it's clear that he adds a dynamic element to the gameplay. Fans eager to experience Nightreign can now pre-order the game to receive an exclusive in-game gesture.
