Best Weapons For Raider in Elden Ring Nightreign
The Raider focuses mainly on Strength. Therefore, the best weapons for this Nightfarer are the ones that will also have a high Strength scaling. You will want to use enormous weapons as the Raider. These are the weapons which will scale off of Strength and utilize the high Strength stat of the Raider.
Here are some of the best options:
1. Devourer’s Scepter
The scaling of the Devourer’s Scepter is as follows:
- STR – A
- DEX – E
- FAI – D
The Devourer’s Scepter is highly similar to the Blasphemous Blade. Both weapons have the unique weapon effect Power of the Blasphemous, which restores HP upon defeating enemies. Another feature in common is its weapon skill that deals damage and restores HP upon hitting enemies.
Given that the Blasphemous Blade is one of the best greatswords, its Great Hammer equivalent is similarly outstanding. The Scepter deals both physical and fire damage, which allows you to get more coverage. As a consequence of its power, the Scepter has a very high level requirement. However, it is more than strong enough to make up for it.
2. Prelate’s Inferno Crozier
The scaling of the Inferno Crozier is as follows:
- STR – S
The Prelate’s Inferno Crozier is a weapon that deals purely physical damage and scales entirely off of strength. This makes it the perfect weapon to use for the Raider.
In addition to this, its weapon skill, Prelate’s Charge, is very powerful and deals high fire damage. Altogether, the weapon is perfectly suited to the Raider’s playstyle.
3. Rotten Greataxe
The scaling of the Rotten Greataxe is as follows:
- STR – S
The Rotten Greataxe also scales purely off of strength and deals massive physical damage. But what makes it really stand out is its status ailment. With every hit, the Rotten Greataxe builds up Scarlet Rot, which is possibly the most devastating of all conditions. It is exceptionally powerful, and even more so for an uncommon weapon.
4. Ghiza’s Wheel
The scaling of Ghiza’s Wheel is as follows:
- STR – S
Ghiza’s Wheel was one of the best weapons in Elden Ring, and it is no different in Nightreign. Apart from its high damage, the weapon inflicts Blood Loss with every hit. This is extremely powerful with its unique skill, Spinning Wheel, which rapidly attacks the enemy many times in succession.
5. Rotten Staff
The stats of the Rotten Staff are as follows:
- STR – S
The Rotten Staff is, in essence, an upgrade to the Rotten Greataxe. It deals more damage, builds up more Scarlet Rot and requires a higher level to wield. However, that is precisely what makes it so powerful. The Rotten Greataxe is already very powerful. Therefore, this weapon, which is a straight upgrade to the Greataxe, is even more powerful.
Those were the best weapons for the Raider in Elden Ring Nightreign.
