This page lists Passive Abilities, Character Skills, and Ultimate Arts in Elden Ring Nightreign.
Overview[]
Abilities are powerful perks and techniques that give the Nightfarers their edge over the Night. Each Nightfarer has one Passive Ability, one Character Skill, and one Ultimate Art. Passive Abilities are perks that provide their effects without activation. Character Skills are practical actions with short cooldowns, while Ultimate Arts are more impactful but have long cooldown times.
