Wylder might be the "default" character and poster child of Elden Ring Nightreign, but that doesn't mean he's any less effective than the other Nightfarers. It's not immediately clear what you should specialise in with this agile but strength-based fighter though. After spending countless hours with Nightreign's lost swordsman, I've learned some handy tricks to make the best Wylder build shine.
Almost everything is randomised in Nightreign, from the gear you find on runs to the passives each one has, and even events like locusts stealing your levels, so you can't ever guarantee you'll get what you want. Still, it's useful to know what items and stats to look out for to spend less time juggling items in your inventory and more time visiting the best Nightreign rune farming spots. Below you'll find my best build for Wylder, but also tips and tricks to eke out every advantage.
