Elden Ring Nightreign Ironeye Class Guide

The Ironeye class in Elden Ring Nightreign is the archer of the group, focused on dealing ranged damage. Armed with a bow, Ironeye is one of the few characters that can stand back to deal damage, making him extremely useful in tough boss fights. The Ironeye also has the best ability in the game, making him one of the S-Tier classes on our Elden Ring Nightreign classes tier list.

Picking the right class for your playstyle or the best class to fit with your teammates' choices can be tough. With Elden Ring Nightreign being so challenging, it's hard to just pick up a class and figure it out. This guide covers all of the Ironeye's abilities, as well as the kind of Relics you should be on the lookout for. For more, check out GameSpot's Elden Ring Nightreign guides hub.

How the Ironeye class works in Elden Ring Nightreign

The Ironeye class excels with bows and other Dexterity focused weapons, like Claws, although you will want to stick with a ranged weapon when possible. While the base damage of Ironeye isn't great, you will want to avoid greatbows, which are too slow to use in Elden Ring Nightreign outside of special circumstances. The ranged weaponry allows you to deal damage while an enemy is focused on one of your teammates, and you can revive people from a safe distance. Ironeye can also mark enemies, which deals a ton of additional damage and makes up for the weak main attacks.

Ironeye also has some incredibly powerful abilities, which we have detailed below:

Passive Ability: Eagle Eye

This passive ability will occasionally cause additional items to drop from enemies or allow an additional choice from bosses.

Character Skill: Marking

Marking is a short dash that adds a red pinwheel-shaped "mark" to enemies hit with it. This creates a temporary weak point on the enemy, which deals a ton of extra damage if you attack and break it before it goes away.

Ultimate Art: Single Shot

Ironeye's massive ultimate attack is a large bow shot, which creates a wind tunnel effect. Not only does this deal a ton of damage and stagger most enemies, it can also be used to revive teammates quickly.

The Ironeye is a huge boon to any squad, thanks to the ability to create weak points to deal extra damage, and to deal damage and revive teammates from a ranged position.

Best relics for Ironeye

While Relics roll with random stats, making it difficult to recommend specific ones, we have a few to point you in the right direction. For Ironeye, the starting Relic holder, Ironeye's Urn, holds one yellow, two green. Ironeye's Goblet, which can be bought from the Small Jar Bazaar, holds a red, blue, and yellow.

Old Pocket Watch

Obtained from the Small Jar Bizarre, the Old Pocketwatch provides a nice early game boost for Ironeye, offering extra Dexterity and FP restoration on successive attacks.

Polished Tranquil Scene

The Polished Tranquil Scene can roll with increased stamina and increased physical attack. That physical attack boost also applies to Ironeye abilities, so it's worth throwing on there.

As for buffs and stats, buffs for successive attacks and increased damage, either from physical boosts or Dexterity boosts, are good to look for. For additional tips, we have guides covering how to revive teammates faster, the best ways to farm runes, and how to break statues for some vital loot.
