The Duchess in the Elden Ring Nightreign is a character known for her consecutive dodges and powerful attacks. With her Character Skill, she can replicate an ally's attack to aim for massive damage, and with her Ultimate Art, she can make allies invisible for safe maneuvering.

Equip Weapons with Status Ailments

Duchess is proficient with Dex-based weapons, which usually have attack animations with numerous hits. These numerous attacks make it very easy for Duchess to inflict status ailments like Bleed and Poison with certain weapons.

Grant Invisibility to Allies
