5 Best Weapons for Raider in Elden Ring Nightreign

BBG News

In Elden Ring Nightreign, the rugged Raidor has access to a variety of powerful weapons. Here’s a top pick of weapon options that suit his style.

Among all the Nightfarer characters, the Raider is most reminiscent of a gameplay style that heavily relies on strength. Armed predominantly with massive weapons, the Raider’s attacks may not be swift, but they pack a powerful punch. Essentially, the Raider embodies what a strength-focused player would wish for.

Although Nightfarers have the ability to handle any weapon within the game, they perform optimally when equipped with particular types of weapons. For a Raider, these ideal choices are Colossal Swords, Greataxes, Great Hammers, and Colossal Weapons.

Multiple types of weapons exist, and some of them become extraordinarily potent when wielded by a Raider. Here’s a list of the top 5 weapons that the Raider excels with in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Best Weapons For Raider in Elden Ring Nightreign

In essence, since the Raider primarily relies on its Strength, the optimal weapons for this character in Nightfarer would be those that have a significant scaling with Strength. You’d be better off wielding larger weapons as a Raider, because these weapons amplify your high Strength stat and scale off of it.

Here are some of the best options:

1. Devourer’s Scepter

The scaling of the Devourer’s Scepter is as follows:

  • STR – A
  • DEX – E
  • FAI – D

From a fan’s perspective, I must say The Devourer’s Scepter bears a striking resemblance to the Blasphemous Blade. What makes these weapons special is their shared unique ability, the Power of the Blasphemous, which not only inflicts damage but also restores my health when enemies meet their demise. Additionally, they both possess a weapon skill that delivers a powerful blow and revitalizes my HP upon striking enemies.

As a seasoned gamer, I can’t help but marvel at the exceptional Great Hammer counterpart to the Blasphemous Blade, another top-tier weapon in my arsenal. This bad boy, known as the Scepter, packs a punch with both physical and fire damage, giving me a wider range of options in combat. The catch? It’s got a pretty high level requirement. But trust me, it’s more than capable of holding its own, making the hurdle to wield it worthwhile.

2. Prelate’s Inferno Crozier

The scaling of the Inferno Crozier is as follows:

  • STR – S

The Crozier wielded by the Prelate is strictly a physical-damage dealing tool, with its effectiveness directly tied to its user’s strength. This feature makes it an ideal choice for the Raider.

Beyond that point, its attack technique, known as Prelate’s Charge, is exceptionally potent and inflicts significant fire damage. In summary, this weapon aligns flawlessly with a Raiders playstyle.

3. Rotten Greataxe

The scaling of the Rotten Greataxe is as follows:

  • STR – S

This exceptional yet common weapon, known as the Decaying Great Axe, primarily amplifies based on strength and inflicts significant physical harm. However, what truly sets it apart is its unique status effect. With each strike, the Decaying Great Axe causes Scarlet Rot to accumulate, a condition that ranks among the most destructive. This potent effect becomes even more formidable for an uncommon weapon.

4. Ghiza’s Wheel

The scaling of Ghiza’s Wheel is as follows:

  • STR – S

In the realms of Ghiza and Nightreign alike, Ghiza’s Wheel stands out as a formidable weapon. Just as effective in the latter, this tool excels not only for its heavy impact but also for its ability to cause Blood Loss with each strike. What sets it apart is its exclusive skill, Spinning Wheel, which swiftly assaults the enemy repeatedly, making it an incredibly potent option.

5. Rotten Staff

The stats of the Rotten Staff are as follows:

  • STR – S

Essentially, the Corrupted Axe is an enhanced version of the Corrupted Greataxe. It inflicts greater damage, generates more Scarlet Taint, and needs a higher character level to be used effectively. This enhancement makes it incredibly potent. The Corrupted Greataxe is already quite formidable, so its upgrade – a direct improvement over the Greataxe – is even more powerful.

Those were the best weapons for the Raider in Elden Ring Nightreign.
