Updated 2026-08-11 · 10 min read · by LFCarry PRO team

As of July 11, 2026 Elden Ring Nightreign has 10 Nightfarers — base 8 plus DLC Scholar — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Scholar & Undertaker — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Undertaker from The Forsaken Hollows (live since Dec 4, 2025). Squad PvE S-core: Ironeye — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Ironeye · Undertaker · Raider.

Elden Ring Nightreign Classes: All 10 Nightfarers Ranked

Nightreign Classes Tier List — All 10 Nightfarers (July 2026)

Primary ranking = Rock Paper Shotgun post–Forsaken Hollows squad PvE list (weights 3-player Expeditions; article modified Dec 4, 2025). Cross-check = fextralife Nightfarers hub (Jun 29, 2026) + Mobalytics "Playing w/ randoms" filter (Ironeye / Raider / Executor / Wylder / Undertaker in S — Executor ranks higher there than on RPS). Solo meta can shift (Ironeye / Wylder still safe alone).

All Nightfarers — Roles & Unlock Notes

Every Nightfarer has 1 Passive + 1 Character Skill + 1 Ultimate (fextralife, updated Jun 29, 2026). Any class can use any weapon — stats steer the kit, they do not hard-lock weapons.

The Forsaken Hollows DLC — Scholar & Undertaker

Yes — the DLC is out. PlayStation Blog (Nov 11, 2025) announced The Forsaken Hollows for December 4, 2025; Bandai Namco US published a "now available" release note the same day covering PS4/PS5, Xbox Series, and Steam. It adds two Nightfarers (Scholar — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Scholar, Undertaker — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Undertaker), new Day-3 bosses, and Shifting Earth: The Great Hollow.

  • Undertaker — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Undertaker: STR/FAI hammer bruiser with Confluence + Loathsome Hex — RPS S (#2). High priority if you own the expansion.
  • Scholar — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Scholar: ARC support (Analyse / Communion / Bagcraft). RPS parks C for general squads; Mobalytics raises him in pre-made comps — unlock for variety, not a free win.

SERP still shows many May 2025 "all 8 classes" videos and some boosting blogs (e.g. a secondary boosting site) that still describe an 8-class roster — those are pre-DLC / lagging. This page covers the full July 2026 roster of 10.

Best Nightreign Classes for Beginners

Aligned with Mobalytics Beginner (Difficulty) filter (inspected Jul 12, 2026) and RPS pick-by-playstyle notes:

  1. Wylder — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Wylder — start here. Forgiving Sixth Sense passive, balanced stats, teaches Expedition pacing.
  2. Ironeye — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Ironeye — stay at range; still S-tier damage in squads.
  3. Guardian — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Guardian — if you hate dying and like saving randoms.
  4. Raider — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Raider — OK for aggressive beginners who want frontline staggers.

Park Recluse — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Recluse / Revenant — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Revenant / Executor — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Executor until you know Day 1–3 routing. Own the DLC? Try Undertaker — Elden Ring Nightreign — Elden Ring Nightreign Classes Undertaker after one Wylder clear.

Methodology & Sources

  1. Roster + unlocks: fextralife Nightfarers (updated Jun 29, 2026) — 6 day-1, Duchess/Revenant unlockable, Scholar/Undertaker DLC.
  2. Squad tier (primary): Rock Paper Shotgun — all 10 ranked (modified Dec 4, 2025; squad-weighted).
  3. Filter cross-check: Mobalytics with-randoms + beginners (inspected Jul 12, 2026).
  4. DLC live: PlayStation Blog Nov 11, 2025 announce / Dec 4 launch + Bandai Namco "now available" release note.
  5. Lagging SERP: a secondary boosting site "best classes" (modified Jun 29, 2026) still describes 8 Nightfarers and Duchess-only S — do not use for roster truth.

Where solo / randoms / pre-made guides disagree with squad S/A, we label the table squad PvE and keep beginner picks separate.
