When building Ironeye in Elden Ring Nightreign, it’s important to understand what he’s capable of and what he’s not. Ironeye isn’t a character that can cause serious damage to enemies. Instead, he’s a character who can support his team in multiple areas while annoying enemies and drawing their attention from time to time.

Not to mention, a lot of the Nightlords have mechanics that can only be stopped if a certain element is applied, and Ironeye is always perfect in those situations. Since Nightreign heavily focuses on RNG when building characters, this guide will provide the best build for Ironeye, along with a few alternatives.

Ironeye Best Weapons In Elden Ring Nightreign

Red Branch Shortbow in Elden Ring Nightreign

Since Ironeye is a ranged unit in Nightreign, applying poison from a safe distance should be his top priority in combat. After applying poison, use an off-hand dagger to apply Rot, putting bosses in a DoT debuff while Ironeye dodges his way out of their attacks. It’s also important for Ironeye to wield an elemental Bow based on the Nightlord's weakness. For example, Tricephalos is weak to Holy damage, so building Ironeye with a Holy Bow is also a priority for this boss fight. Here are Ironeye’s best weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Ironeye Best Weapon Passives In Elden Ring Nightreign

Best Ironeye Weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign

Since there are no weapon passives that boost Ironeye’s Stamina, it’s better to collect weapons that improve his Attack Power and damage Negation. Players can also go for Stance-Breaking passives to help the team bring bosses and enemies down. These passives stack, so getting more of the same weapon passive is not bad at all. In fact, they greatly boost Ironeye’s performance in the endgame.

Ironeye Best Relics In Elden Ring Nightreign

Best Relics for Ironeye in Elden Ring Nightreign

When it comes to Relics, there are tons of choices before each expedition in Nightreign. However, some Relics are just overpowered and serve multiple purposes at the same time. The first and best Relic players should go for when building Ironeye is the Edge of Order, which is a Relic obtained at the end of Ironeye’s Remembrance in Elden Ring Nightreign. It boosts his thrusting counterattacks alongside increasing his Bow Attack Power, which notably improves Ironeye’s damage. The Holy damage on Ironeye’s starting Bow is negligible, but still acceptable.

There are a lot of good Relics that work with Ironeye’s gameplay, especially the ones that add to his Dexterity, Arcane, or Bow Attack Power. Players can also go for Relic effects such as:

  • Attack power up when facing poison-afflicted enemy
  • Attack power up when facing scarlet rot-afflicted enemy
  • Improved Attack Power with 3+ Bows Equipped
  • Improved Stance-Breaking when Two-Handing

Also, some unique Relics like Night of the Lord can alter Ironeye’s build, but still give him great power. For example, Night of the Lord Relic gives Ironeye a random element to his weapon every time he switches it in or out. This Affinity addition isn’t what gives Ironeye the extra damage, it’s the next two effects that boost the damage of the added Affinity and new weapon. Ironeye can easily refresh this effect every time he swaps for a new weapon.

All Remembrance Quests In Elden Ring Nightreign

Here's a basic rundown of every available Remembrance quest for all characters in Elden Ring Nightreign.

By 

Rank

Dormant Power

Reason

1

Improved Stamina Recovery

Ironeye’s gameplay is all about dealing damage while getting away from it. So, Stamina Recovery is his most important stat.

2

Increased Maximum Stamina

Bigger Stamina means more action for Ironeye.

3

Improved Dodging

More windows to escape attacks.

4

Improved Affinity Attack Power

Ironeye will deal elemental damage most of the time, so this will boost his damage.

5

Improved Flask HP Restoration

Since Ironeye has a small HP, a Flask buff will ensure he stays on full HP.

6

Poison & Rot Trigger Continuous HP Recovery

As a character who scales with Arcane, Ironeye will trigger a lot of Poison and Scarlet Rot.

7

Blood Loss in Vicinity Increases Attack Power

Blood Loss also scales with Arcane, so it’s something Ironeye would do.

8

Character Skill Cooldown Reduction

Ironeye’s Skill is more important than his Art, so reducing CD will benefit it.

9

HP Restoration upon Successive Attacks

When Ironeye takes damage, there has to be something to always bring him back to full HP, since his build has some effects that need him to be at full HP.
