If you're a fan of Elden Ring and enjoy the thrill of wielding massive weapons to crush your enemies with brute strength, 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, another robust class with ample health and a penchant for large weapons, focuses on defense with its shield and party-wide damage mitigation ultimate, the Raider is engineered to be an offensive juggernaut.

The cornerstone of the Raider's arsenal is the Retaliate ability. At first glance, it might seem modest—just two stomps dealing physical and poise damage. However, the true power lies in the Raider's passive ability, which prevents knockback during Retaliate. This means you can soak up damage and power through attacks, turning the second stomp into a devastating punch capable of staggering even the toughest foes.

The Raider's ultimate, Totem Stela, unleashes a ground-slamming attack that spawns a large totem, inflicting significant damage to nearby enemies. Like other ultimates in Nightreign, it's a game-changer. The totem not only deals damage but is also climbable, offering a strategic vantage point or a safe haven. Additionally, it provides a damage buff to you and your teammates, making it a crucial ability to coordinate for maximum team benefit.

Among all the classes I've explored in Nightreign, the Raider stands out as the most enjoyable. It starts with the Raider's Greataxe, a formidable weapon that inflicts fire damage and comes equipped with the "Endure" skill, allowing you to absorb and withstand enemy attacks when Retaliate is on cooldown. As you progress, upgrading to larger strength-scaling weapons will enhance your Raider's combat style.

The Raider excels in one-on-one confrontations, fitting perfectly with its Remembrances, which involve solo boss fights in a gladiatorial setting, adding a thrilling twist to the gameplay.
