Xeo7: As a Recluse main, one tip I'd like to add. And this is especially important if playing with random players - Try to find a decent melee weapon to put into the second slot of your off-hand equipment. There are a few that have ok scaling for her. But really anything light and fast will work in a pinch. And the reason being that if you have a teammate drop, and you're low on FP, you need a way to revive them. A fast melee weapon that doesn't eat a bunch of stamina, like a dagger or something will work wonders for this. I cannot stress how clutch this can be in the middle of a boss fight where you're blasting through FP.

andrewcullen2527: I think the only change I would love to see for Recluse is:

You must HOLD the skill to use the cookbook skill, but a click always just collects residue and restores mana. Because there are a good few times an aggressive boss leaves little room to do the full skill animation and in turn I cannot gather more mana.

nonamenoname9079: As a Recluse main this is by far the best Recluse guide I've seen and you can tell you have actually played thr character!

Ravent95: Totally can recommend the mage tower FP increase relic effect or the increase with 3 Staves. If you manage to get both you can gain up to 350FP per run. The evergoal attack power increase also seems to be working with magic damage, its a 5% increase to all damage types per evergoal boss.

bertillindquist: I always think I found good content until I come across one of your build guides and then I remember, there’s only one. You are the GOAT, keep the night reign content flowing!!

GM-xk1nw: Yooo I got into Elden ring thanks to your three mage build videos and learn the game making the build, glad your still going

gzayorvus3195: Don't forget that the crawling monster full of limbs that spit poison can be stunlocked with healing incantation that have an Area Of Effect if you can trap it in a corner.

LigmaCommander: hands down the best Nightreign content i've seen so far. Especially precious because it's about the recluse, the most misunderstood and complex character in the roster. People think she's shit (i did too) because we simply didn't grasp her mechanics.

ricardoalmeida4719: You should get the bell

Vasouras: Can you do the other classes too, please!

pablojoel3217: Another Nizaar banger video. You have helped me with previous ER videos, and I thank you for that. Thank you for all you do. I hope you are doing well.

thenormalmanchild2430: I'd like to point out, if you're solo or your teammates are down during a boss fight, it is never a bad idea to get the lightning dash in the cocktail (3x lightning). It has saved at least 4 of my runs just because of the extra i-frames.

yotuel9064: Certain spells destroy big bosses that weren't include in the list.

vulpixel: All the “faster spellcasting speed” items say 1. What does that mean?

chrispysaid: holy is orangy-yellow, or y'know... gold

kinda thematically appropriate if u ask me

bowser880: Best character specific guide I’ve seen so far. Love your descriptions and actually talking about points of interest/spells!

excho5748: One of the best Recluse Guides on YT, giving you all the info needed to build yourself a good build in any run.

christianhill6639: this vid is insane you covered so many little helpful things. showing footage of everything you spoke about really helps, especially as someone who never played elden ring. thank you!

terrellestephens8922: My guy, You honestly hit it right on the head in my opinion. Especially your spell list. I feel like you took everything into account and your rankings reflect actual game play experience. Good shit.

Okkusen: Some these staffs are already in my prio as "new mage" player, but this helps me a lot, thank you very much!!

roddy864: This is actually a good list and a good guide GREAT JOB!!

yanmacchorpse9832: Thanks, I'm pretty much maining Recluse since release and I learned a lot in this video regardless.

paulb4480: One thing i do to reduce the rng is to focus on magick damage up on relics instead of specific schools of sorceries or incantations for damage or simple minor stat upgrades. Magic damage up synergizes with the terra magicka and youre always guaranteed to have access to magic damage as recluse. From there i use other elemental sorceries or incantations simply for cocktail combinations or boss weaknesses, but i dont rely on them for damage. This removes the stress of looking for very specific schools of sorceries or incantations from relics buffs and makes my playthroughs much more enjoyable.

Schloppknat: I've been waiting for this

mmo1618: Man, I just like it when you talk about elden ring in general.
