Putting together an Elden Ring Nightreign tier list might seem a little redundant—you're supposed to be able to pick who you want to bring to Limveld based on preferred playstyle. While that's still 100% true, I was quite surprised to see how unbalanced the roster of Nightfarer's feels.
I figured they would all be pretty good, but there are actually some frontrunners, and there's even an easily identifiable best character because of his kit of abilities, ease of playstyle, and the massive advantage he has against the game's hardest Nightlord bosses. Obviously, meta means jack all in Nightreign, and it's still important to pick who you want to play as versus choosing them based on any metric of "being the best".
