Undertaker is a playable character class in Elden Ring: Nightreign, released with The Forsaken Hollows DLC. This Nightfarer specializes dealing heavy damage through means of close combat, while being able to cast incantations for both offence and utilty.
Undertaker has an A scaling in both Strength and Faith, allowing her to be a very versatile class, capable for dealing damage, easily staggering enemies through usage of hammers, or casting offensive or utility spells with Sacred Seals.
"An abbess who was mandated by her monastery to slay the Nightlord. Her uncanny strength belies her physique, leading others to keep her at a distance and eventually assign her to the unenviable task of burying the dead."
Scholar's abilities lean heavily into the support for the team, either through buffing the party, or debuffing the enemies. This Nightfarer gets more benefits from using consumables, thanks to his passive ability, and is able to provide powerful statuses for allies, or heavily debuff enemies through the use of his character skill.
Passive Ability - Confluence
"Ally's execution of art enables additional art activation regardless of gauge."
This ability allows Undertaker to cast her Ultimate regardless of the gauge meter, when an ally activates their ultimate art. This can be devastating in coordinated play, as Undertaker's Ultimate Art deals high damage and has long range, effectively being a gap-closer.
Character Skill - Trance
"Bloodletting triggers the power of the loathsome hex."
Trance allows Undertaker to increase her movement speed, and abolish stamina consumption while running. It transforms dodge into a dodge-step, similar to the one of Duchess, increases toughness and combo attack power. If, however, activate while Ultimate Art gauge is full, Undertaker receives additional bonuses, such as increased movement speed, increased attack power, and an ability to cheat death once.
Ultimate Art - Loathsome Hex
"Pull out uncanny bone from body, speed toward target, and strike."
Undertaker pulls a bone out of her body and lunges into an enemy, closing the gap and dealing high damage on arrival. This ability can collide with terrain, so make sure the path is clear.
