What is the best Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant build? The Revenant represents a powerful duality of light and darkness, owing to her mastery over life and death. Not only does she serve as the game's necromancer class, but she also operates as its main healer.
The Revenant has one of the highest skill floors out of the Elden Ring Nightreign's Revenant.
How to unlock Revenant in Elden Ring Nightreign
To unlock Revenant in Elden Ring, you'll first need to unlock Duchess by returning the Old Pocketwatch to her. Now head to the Old Jar Bazaar and purchase the Besmirched Frame Relic for 1,500 Murk. An exclamation mark icon will now appear on the Roundtable Hold map, leading you to a spectral version of the Revenant. Interact with her, and you'll be transported to an instanced version of the tutorial area.
Head to the arena where you first fought the Fell Omen. Instead of Margit/Morgott, you'll have to face off against Revenant and all three of her summons. Ironeye is the best class to take on this fight with, as you can easily kite out her summons, either while taking them down one by one, or focusing on Revenant. Revenant's scariest ability sees her throw out three holy discs that deal significant damage, both on the way out and upon their return to the caster. Due to how they spread, a ranged class gives you an apt opportunity to find a gap in the spell. After defeating Revenant, she'll the other playable Nightfarers.
Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant best build
Revenant is a necromancer capable of summoning three powerful 'family' to aid her in battle. As a Faith-based caster, Revenant requires a lot of FP to maintain her incantation damage output while her summons and allies take the brunt of enemy aggro. Although she can't self-sustain FP like Recluse, Revenant primarily benefits from Relic and in-run ive boons to her Rune economy, FP, and Faith, plus anything that bolsters her incantation power and cast speed. Her ive scales with Arcane, so don't be afraid to allocate it build space until you can find her most important stats.
Here are Revenant's base attributes:
- HP: D
- FP: A
- Stamina: D
- Strength: C
- Dexterity: C
- Intelligence: B
- Faith: S
- Arcane: B
The Revenant is built to hang back and rain damage on enemies, letting her teammates and summons bear the brunt of any attacks. She also makes solid use of sorceries thanks to her respectable Intelligence scaling. By default, she carries a set of claws with the White Shadow's Lure skill, plus a seal that comes with the Heal and Rejection incantations.
For weapons, prioritize accruing seals with powerful incantations like Black Flame, Bestial Sling, Dragonfire, and The Flame of Frenzy. It's also prudent to keep a crossbow capable of inflicting status ailments like poison, just in case you run out of FP. While you'll be kept nice and safe in an ideal world, you'll occasionally find yourself under fire. Keeping a greatshield handy to help weather the storm until the gang can peel for you is always a great choice.
As a final option, don't sleep on Faith scaling melee weapons like the Sword of Night and Flame. Yes, it may be a greatsword, but its skill is ridiculously powerful and can be used from range.
Revenant best Relics
The best Revenant Relics bolster her FP, Faith, and power when fighting alongside her summons. Arcane is a solid secondary stat to allocate boosts to if you can't target her primary ones. For special modifiers, relics that either increase Rune acquisition or reduce expedition shop prices are ridiculously helpful, as you'll need a ton of Starlight Shards to sustain Revenant's thirst for FP.
You should also prioritize Relics that have Revenant-specific modifiers, as they not only amp her damage output, but can increase her ive capacity. Although Relic rolls are randomly generated for the most part, Relics from Remembrances, Night Lords, and the Small Jar Bazaar all have predetermined rolls. Load up on the following:
- Besmirched Frame (Blue): Taking attacks improves attack power, Faith +3 (Purchased from the Small Jar Bazaar for 1,500 Murk after unlocking Duchess)
- Grand Drizzly Scene (Blue): [Revenant] Trigger ghostflame explosion during Ultimate Art activation, Faith +2, Arcane +2 (Purchased from the Small Jar Bazaar for 1,000 Murk after defeating four Night Lords)
- Night of the Demon (Red): Huge rune discount for shop purchases while on expedition, Gesture "Crossed Legs" builds up Madness, Madness continually recovers FP (Defeat Equilibrius Beast)
- Old Portrait (Blue): [Revenant] Trigger ghostflame explosion during Ultimate Art activation, [Revenant] Expend Revenant's HP to fully heal nearby allies when activating Art, Defeating enemies fills more of the Art gauge (Remembrance reward)
- Small Makeup Brush (Blue): [Revenant] Power up while fighting alongside family, Increased Rune acquisition for self and allies (Remembrance reward)
Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant abilities
The Revenant's abilities generally revolve around her role as a necromancer, and her family aren't the only undead she can call to her side. Her ive, Necromancy, occasionally summons the spirits of killed enemies, creating a mini-army. Summon Spirit is Revenant's bread and butter skill, calling forth one of her most powerful summons.
Immortal March offers ive qualities to the Revenant's team, providing an instant revive to downed allies before granting all allies immortality for its duration.
Here are the Revenant's abilities:
- ive Ability – Necromancy: Revenant turns enemies into ghosts that fight for her.
- Character Skill – Summon Spirit: Revenant plays her lyre, summoning a family member of her choosing.
- Ultimate Art – Immortal March: Revenant makes herself and her active family member immortal, activates the active family member's special skill, and revives downed allies.
Revenant Necromancy
Necromancy is a ive ability that gives Revenant the chance to reanimate defeated enemies, barring major bosses, bringing them into her spectral legion for roughly one minute. There doesn't appear to be a limit on how many spectres can be active at one time, but their short deathspan means you won't be building an army out of them.
Regardless, Necromancy can provide Revenant some much-welcomed cover in a pinch, especially when fighting mob-heavy night bosses like the Tibia Mariner or Freja – the latter you can see being attacked by their own reanimated spiderlings above.
Revenant Summon Spirit
Summon Spirit grants Revenant the means to summon one of three family : Helen, Frederick, or Sebastian to aid her in battle. Helen is a nimble fighter who can distract foes with her quick footwork, but is the squishiest of the trio. Frederick is great for dealing with mobs thanks to his large swings, and is our general go-to summon for most encounters.
Sebastian, meanwhile, is best-suited to dealing with bosses, not only because he's the most powerful of the three but because his scream can pull aggro from your team. His major downside is that he can't move once deployed, so you'll have to keep dismissing and resummoning him when facing Night Lords and the like who love to stay on the move.
Revenant Immortal March
Immortal March activates the active family member's special ability: Helen executes a rapier combo, Frederick spins around with his hammer, and Sebastian uses hyper beam. But its offensive qualities are vastly overshadowed by its ive element, which can easily save a doomed run.
Immortal March makes Revenant and her active summon immortal for its duration. This doesn't mean they can't take damage, but they won't fall below a single point of HP. If that's not clutch enough, Revenant's Ultimate Art also revives downed allies regardless of how many pips they have filled in their revive gauge.
And those are the building blocks for the best Elden Ring Nightreign Revenant build. Now you've got the means to summon up a big W in the Elden Ring Nightreign skins you can dress the reanimated doll up in.
