Everything you need to know about the best Ironeye build in Elden Ring Nightreign, including the Relics, weapons, attributes, and more.
Ironeye is easily one of the best starting classes in Elden Ring Nightreign. Not only does it have good basic stats like HP, FP, and Stamina, but it also comes with quite decent Dexterity and Arcane scaling. Furthermore, due to Ironeye’s character skill and Ultimate Art, it’s a solid choice for both co-op and solo modes. While it doesn’t do as much damage as Raider, Wylder, or even Executor, Ironeye can easily stack affinity damage on bosses.
And much like in base Elden Ring, affinity damage in Nightreign is far superior to physical damage. In fact, most Nightlords come with their own elemental weaknesses, which, if used correctly, can easily turn the tide of battle in your favor.
Like any other Nightfarer in the game, Ironeye benefits greatly from an optimized Relic loadout. Here’s a comprehensive guide on the best Ironeye build in Elden Ring Nightreign, including the Relics, weapons, and more.
Overview of Ironeye in Elden Ring Nightreing
Ironeye is the quintessential “ranged” class in Elden Ring Nightreign. However, while the Nightfarer excels at ranged combat, Ironeye is also quite good at melee range, mostly due to his Arcane scaling. Furthermore, Ironeye is one of the few classes that work great in both multiplayer and solo modes. While the Nightfarer’s abilities might look intimidating, Ironeye is one of the easiest classes to pick up and play. Ironeye’s passive ability, Eagle Eye, lets you get better loot upon defeating enemies, which also applies to your allies.
Furthermore, the character’s active ability, Marking, is a great way to consistently deal damage and stagger enemies and even bosses.
Marking essentially applies a “mark” on the enemy, which, upon being hit with affinity attacks, procs and deals a huge chunk of damage. Think of a mark like a Bleed proc, albeit available to all elemental affinities. Furthermore, the mark lingers for a while on the enemy, during which you can dish out additional damage upon hitting the weak spot. Ironeye’s Ultimate Art, Single Shot, is a “get-out-of-jail-free card.”
It not only revives allies within its AOE range but also gives Ironeye i-frames during its activation and execution animations.

How To Use the Best Ironeye Build
Here are some tips that should help you use the best Ironeye build efficiently:
- Ironeye is most effective at medium range. While you can boost the Nightfarer’s Vigor with Relics, it’s not going to help you tank enemy attacks, especially when facing Nightlords. Instead, try your best to stay at medium range and keep pressure on the enemy with affinity attacks. Also, make sure not to overlook weapon skills. Using weapon skills on a marked enemy can often break their poise.
- When playing in co-op, Ironeye is best used in a supporting role. Ironeye is one of the best characters for reviving allies from a distance. As such, it’s paramount that Ironeye stays at a distance and survives the longest during a boss fight. Basically, if you’re playing Ironeye, stay at a medium distance from the boss and constantly attack using elemental affinity. Once you see any of your allies fall, quickly unlock from the boss and lock onto the fallen ally to revive them.
- Ironeye is also quite effective with Dexterity weapons and status build-up. If you’re comfortable timing your dodges perfectly, you can stay close to the boss and dish out a ton of damage using Bleed– or Frost-imbued Katanas. Make sure to apply the mark on bosses before attacking them.
