NightreignNightreign Tier List for Playing Solo

Wylder

• Since the Nightfarer was intentionally designed to have the most well-rounded kit, it's no surprise that he's an ideal choice for solo players.
• His Passive, Sixth-Sense, makes solo runs more forgiving, giving you an extra life after every Site of Grace.
• Claw Shot when used against larger enemies, allows Wylder a burst mobility option to dodge big swings.
• Having a versatile pool of weapons makes him adaptable to any run and less susceptible to being troubled by RNG.

Ironeye

• The Ironeye's mobile playstyle makes him the best character for solo players who want to play ranged.
• He can kite enemies while simultaneously dealing damage and can use his Character Skill, Marking, as burst mobility to dodge boss mechanics.
• His Passive, Eagle Eye, raises the floor of your loot due to its better drop chances, thus making your overall strength floor higher.

Executor

• Executor is the most difficult of the S-tier bunch since he relies on parry timings, but he certainly has all the tools to be self-sufficient as a solo Nightfarer.
• The Cursed Sword is the best defensive (non-ultimate) ability in the game, making you nearly invincible with good timings.
• His ultimate, Aspect of the Crucible: Beast, offers a way to instantly heal to full and become tankier in dire situations.

Raider

• The Raider has a ton of offensive power and tankiness, so he's a great choice for solo.
• However, his lack of mobility puts him a step lower than the S-tier Nightfarers. Be ready to take hits

Recluse

• Being a solo Recluse gives you the agency to always cast the Magic Cocktail spell that you want, since you don't have to worry about other Nightfarers and their damage type output.
• Playing solo, she has the ability to hit the points of interest that have the magic items and spells that you need.
• Her main weakness, however, is her glass cannon nature as she can be one-shot in many cases, but otherwise she has everything she needs from high damage output to being able to heal herself.

Duchess

• The Duchess has high mobility but needs to find status effect weapons to scale her damage.
• Similar to the Recluse, she has more agency in routing to find the weapons she needs, but compared to the Recluse, she doesn't have an inherent way to heal herself.
• Her ultimate, Finale, isn't that impactful outside of giving you time to heal or set up a backstab.

Guardian

• The Guardian has survivability in spades but lacks damage output (due to lower damage scaling).
• Low damage output means being slower to kill enemies - this is a problem when you're on the clock and want to hit as many map points of interest as you can.
• His ultimate, Wings of Salvation, loses a lot of its appeal since you don't have any allies to resurrect with it.

Revenant

• The Revenant's core issue in solo play is that her summons get quickly one-shot by Nightlords and challenging bosses and her Passive, Necromancy, has no effect on Day 3.
• This makes her a worse version of the Recluse since you'll have to rely on spellcasting but rather than being strong in both Faith and Intelligence, she only scales well in Faith.
• Similar to the Guardian, her ultimate, Immortal March, has a lot of value in teamplay due to its resurrection, but it loses a lot of value without allies. It does give your summoned family member a special attack, but only Sebastian's is worth noting.
