The Axe-Swinging Raider

Elden Ring Nightreign is building excitement as it approaches its release date, showcasing a variety of characters that players can control. On April 15, FromSoftware shared a captivating character trailer on Twitter (X) featuring the Raider, an aging Viking known for his brute strength and axe mastery.

The trailer highlights the Raider's prowess in combat, showcasing his ability to deliver devastating heavy attacks, including a remarkable feat of taking down a dragon with a single blow. Additionally, Raider can summon a large monolith block, which serves as a strategic platform for both him and his allies.

While the trailer does not delve into specific details about his attacks and abilities, the anticipation around Raider is palpable.
