Everything you need to know about the best Raider build in Elden Ring Nightreign, including the Relics, weapon recommendations, and more.
Raider is easily the best melee-oriented class in Elden Ring Nightreign, and works well against all the Nightlords in the game. While the Raider is limited in terms of itsArcaneandDexterityscaling, it makes up for that withSscaling inStrength. Furthermore, as one of the fewtanksin the game, Raider also starts with a decent amount of HP and Stamina, making it the best option for players who prefer melee combat over sorcery and ranged.

Ideally, you want to use Raider as the primary line of defense in a party. Due to its melee specialization, Raider is best used at close range, relying mostly on jumping and charged attacks, which easily break enemy poise. Additionally, due to A scaling in Vigor, Raider can tank even the heaviest blows from the enemy while retaining his own poise. Raider’s skills directly feed into hispoiseandstrength. The character skill,Retaliate, allows the Raider to counter an enemy attack while maintaining his posture.
TheUltimate Art,Totem Stela, grants a temporary boost to both poise and strength. Raider’s passive skill boosts the potency ofRetaliate, increasing his poise while performing the character skill. For the best Raider build, we have focused primarily on making Raider’s strengths even more potent.
