Everything you need to know about Elden Ring Nightreign’s playable characters (Nightfarers), and how you can change them during gameplay.

The Nightfarers are easily the best aspect of Elden Ring Nightreign, apart from the bosses, of course. Unlike the original Elden Ring or FromSoftware’s past souls-like titles, Nightreign doesn’t feature a traditional “starting class” system. Instead, the Nightfarers fill in that role. On paper, the Nightfarers are the starting classes. However, they’re also much more than that. While you can upgrade (and customize) the Nightfarers usingRelics, their abilities and passives are permanent. Every Nightfarer offers a distinct gameplay and combat style, complete with its own set of advantages and weaknesses. While you do have access tosix Nightfarersright from the start, some of them are hidden behind optional quests.
