Disruption is afoot for Elden Ring Nightreign. A new class has been revealed for the soulsborne boss rush, the Scholar, who provides support from further back in the play area, something that should be useful indeed.
As the moniker implies, the build is centred on someone who's studied Limveld. They've looked at the plants, investigated the ruins, and you better believe they've read all the lore – exhaustively so, by the looks of things. Through all this carnal knowledge, they wield abilities that can weaken enemies and provide hearty buff to their allies.
Next up is the more exciting part, with the Scholar taking on the infamous Libra. Through their spells, gleamed from a tome they carry into the arena, because of course they do, their allies get some form of advantage that seems to make Libra's spawn considerably easier. Scholars have a cane for close combat, too, but since it gets shattered in one swing from a big sword in a clip, I wouldn't count on it beyond emergencies.
As is typical of FromSoftware, we just have what's in this video for details right now. But there isn't long to wait before we can start creating builds based on the Scholar and see what they’re made of. It arrives, alongside another class, the Undertaker, with the Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows DLC on December 4.
