Summary
Elden Ring Nightreignhas revealed a new class called Ironeye, offering a revamped approach to ranged gameplay. AlthoughElden Ring Nightreignis separate from the coreElden Ringtitle, some of the adjustments being made to the playstyles in this spin-off have left fans hoping that FromSoftware devs will bring quality-of-life improvements over to the first game.
Nightreignis a title that some faithful FromSoftware players are still unsure about, waiting to see whether the developer’s attempt to put asurvival twist onElden Ringwill pay off. It’s clear thatElden Ring Nightreignwill employ several new ideas for the Soulsborne formula and that not all of them are necessarily meant to be mainstay features. However, FromSoftware’s willingness to take risks in so many areas of this project could prove useful for figuring out how to make aspects that players have dismissed in other games significantly more engaging.
A new class named Ironeye has officially been revealed forElden Ring Nightreign. Throughout the video, Ironeye is shown taking on various mobs and bosses, making quick work of its foes. With the addition of this class alongside theNightreigncaster known as Recluse, Ironeye could draw even more interest in ranged play than is usual for FromSoftware’s catalog.
Ironeye Revealed for Elden Ring Nightreign
The post covering Ironeye notes swiftness as a core quality, partially discussing the nature of this character’s arrows but also seemingly referencing the character in general. Dexterity seems to be a key focus, as Ironeye is seen dodging and wall jumping away from attacks, finding ways to counterattack while keeping a safe distance. Ironeye is shown using flaming arrows, dashing and striking with an arrow in one hand and a bow in the other, and finally, they’re shown using a bow as a stagger/riposte attack, an action that fans have compared toLegolas fromThe Lord of The Rings.
Some players who haveexperienced theElden Ring Nightreignnetwork testshave pointed out that this class employs an entirely new aiming system that makes it easier to focus on getting headshots. Overall, the improvements to the game’s ranged class seem focused on making the playstyle more appealing to all gamers. Fans have criticized FromSoftware titles for not making archers the most viable classes around. The broad assortment of bows inElden Ringmay have been a step toward improving ranged gameplay, but with Ironeye, many have voiced eagerness to make this class their first pick.
