The Axe-Swinging Raider

Elden Ring Nightreign is gearing up for its much-anticipated release, and FromSoftware has been steadily unveiling the diverse roster of characters players can embody. On April 15, a thrilling character trailer was shared on Twitter (X), spotlighting Raider, an aging Viking who swings his axe with ferocity against any adversary.

In the trailer, Raider demonstrates his prowess by delivering heavy blows, even managing to uppercut a dragon with a single strike. His abilities extend beyond combat; he can summon a large monolith block that serves as an elevated platform. This not only aids long-range allies by making them harder to reach for enemies but also allows Raider to launch surprise aerial attacks on his foes.

While the trailer doesn't delve into specific details about Raider's attacks and abilities, it's clear that he brings a unique blend of brute force and strategic support to the battlefield. Fans eager to experience Nightreign can now pre-order the game to receive a bonus in-game gesture.
