Struggling to survive in Elden Ring Nightreign? Then you can't do better than the tanky and defensive Guardian, who just so happens to be a cool-looking bird man. With the best Guardian build, you'll be able to take hits and return the favour, and protect your team while you're at it.
Although almost everything is randomised in Nightreign, from the gear you find on runs to the passives each one has, it's still useful to know what items and stats to look out for—not least because the inventory is rather fiddly. Below you'll find my best build for Guardian so you know what you're working towards, but also handy tips and tricks to get the most out of his kit.
