Weaknesses of Balancers in Elden Ring Nightreign

Balancers in Elden Ring Nightreign are weak to Sleep damage. If you keep hitting them with Sleep attacks, they’ll eventually fall asleep. This gives you a perfect chance to deal big damage and get in a few extra hits. Look for weapons such as the Sword of St Trina that have Sleep effects and carry plenty of Sleep Pots. They’ll make the boss fight much easier.

Best Nightfarers to use against the Balancers in Elden Ring Nightreign

The best Nighfarers to use against the Balancers are The Undertaker, Scholar, and Ironeye. The Undertaker has some great Skills, Passive Abilities, and Ultimate Art in her kit. The Trance is something that will be very effective while defeating the Balancers. It increases The Undertaker’s speed, her power, damage negation, and makes the dodge more swift.

You should also focus on her Ultimate Art, which quickly drives her towards the target and deals massive damage. Scholar is another great choice for defeating these white valkyries. His Skill, Analysis, lets him apply a buff or debuff to a target. You can use this on multiple targets at the same time to make them quite vulnerable.

Consider Ironeye for the Ultimate Art, Single Shot, which fires a powerful arrow that cuts through anything to hit one target. After it lands, the arrow releases a shockwave that creates a second AoE attack, dealing extra damage and knocking smaller enemies down instantly.

You can consider Ironeye’s Skill. It lets you slash an enemy with a small dagger, and when the hit lands, it creates a weak spot on that enemy. You can then focus your attacks on that weak spot to deal massive damage.

Before you start the Expedition, don't forget to purchase the St. Trina for 40,000 runes or any such Sleep damage weapons from the merchant. If you already have one, then ignore it.

You also need to collect all four crystals, power, and acquire the false version of the great rune (From the very top of the Divine Tower). This rune will help you have a faster Ultimate Art recharge rate and a bonus murk received after the end of the session.

Phase 1

As you initiate the fight, hit them with the Sleep damage weapon from behind until they fall asleep. There are seven of them, so focus on hitting each one separately. Make sure they don’t group up, because their combo attack is extremely powerful and can quickly drain your HP.

So, make them sleep with the attack and then target the main boss to gradually drain their HP. Try to stick to one hand instead of two, as two hands will make the attack much slower. One-handed straight sword attacks are quite fast, which will allow you to farm sleep a lot quicker. The boss has some great AoE attacks, so make sure to dodge them properly.

Keep in mind that the sleep effect will last only for 30 to 40 seconds. This timeline is very crucial for executing a backstab and taking out one by one. Consider using the Undertaker Ultimate Art ability combined with Scholar's to deal great damage to the boss. This strategy will be helpful to defeat the boss, which will then initiate the second phase.

Phase 2

In the second phase, the boss will be more powerful, making the battle more challenging. During this phase, they will quickly start using a sweep attack. The best way to counter this is to sprint away from the targeted area. They also use a grab that will impale you, so keep an eye out for that.

The boss uses a spear-based AoE attack quite often, so make sure to run away to avoid losing health. In this phase, use the same sleep attack strategy, but be extra careful of those AoE moves. Put them to sleep one at a time and take them out individually. If the fight starts getting tough, don’t hesitate to use the Nightfarer’s Skill or Ultimate Art whenever you can.

Try to put all six valkyries to sleep while hitting the main one (the Pink Valkyrie). When the boss drops to around 50% HP, it will unleash a heavy AoE attack, so stay alert because it can easily take away half your health. The Scholar’s Ultimate ability is extremely helpful here, as it links all the valkyries together. This means hitting one will damage all of them at once, making the fight much easier.

If you have the Wraith Calling Bell, then use it as these enemies often unleash sudden AoE moves. They can sometimes explode or summon spears from the ground, which can deal heavy damage if you’re not careful. Stay alert and keep your distance. The second phase will eventually end after the boss uses its final AoE move.

Phase 3

In Phase 3, all the valkyries will regenerate if you move too far away from them. Once they’re back, they’ll start using the same sweeping attacks you face in Phase 1. The strategy here is the same:

Put all the Vulkarye to sleep again.
Use that window to focus your attacks on the main boss.

Team coordination is important in this fight. While one player is putting the valkyries to sleep, someone else should focus on the main boss. Try to time your Ultimate abilities together to deal massive damage and eventually defeat the Balancers in the Elden Ring Nightreign.
