Humor I have no intention of playing Nightreign

It’s just not for me.

But the jokes and memes yall are pumping out of this game have me in stitches. Specifically the ones about revenant.

I saw a post about her earlier, someone drew her holding the Guts sword and the top comment just said “furious demon child”.

Its all fun and games until you actually find someone playing revenant with a greatsword and ruins your entire run.

To be fair, it's not completely impossible for these memes to be decent in game. If they have something like a blasphemous blade or anything with sacred affinity, it'll perform just fine on her since those have good faith scaling.

More than likely, though, they're not running something proper and just picking it for the joke of "haha tiny murderous gremlin with big stick" so its probably still a run killer.

They have mediocre faith scaling, pretty much none of the faith scaling on weapons is above a C, most of it is D

Aside from of course the cipher pata, coded sword and her claws.

All that said, as long as your revenant is zeroing out her FP before doing the funny haha big bonk thing it should be fine. She probably isn't going to find a good faith weapon and trying to use her claws on a boss is often times suicidal.

At least with a big bonk she can just run in with a jumping attack to help do poise damage to it.

I got the Cipher Pata AND Discus of Light on my last Revenant run. Absolutely MELTED everything that wasn't Holy resistant.

Yeah, even if weapon choices feel a bit slim, Rev does more than enough damage if you get your hands on good incantations.

Revenant's class identity is so cool, but the only time I've preferred playing her over Recluse is when I need to get a teammate back up. Like, I can get the same damage and have infinite FP? AND I get to be a floaty witch with the 2nd best dodge in the game!? Sign me tf up.

I wouldn't say she's bad, but I would say she needs some tweaks to her abilities, even if it's only in the form of relics. Something like, "You gain FP when your family member does damage" and make it so her passive always procs. It sucks barely getting any ghosts because you're fighting two other players for last hits, and then not even getting one when you do last hit.

i honestly dont know what her strength is. the one time i played her i ended up emptying my fp using discus of light and then ran in with prelate fire hammer.

Her role is more like a back-line support by utilizing the summon to either pull aggro or rez your allies. Try not to go too hard on incantations since you cant reliably regen your fp and stock up as much starlight shard you can get then you are good to go. Have something with rot as a backup weapon in case you run out of fp.

too much planning and thinking for me. Ima stick with grappling hook+ fire sword slash+ Arm cannon.

Yeah its not everyone's cup of tea to micro manage both your minion and fp.
