Revenant
In the latest trailer, a new female character holding a harp also appeared. Her name was revealed to be Revenant at the demo event, though details about her combat style remain unknown.
Strong Likelihood of Revenant Using Spirit Ashes
Out of the eight playable characters, it's confirmed that one uses Spirit Ashes in combat. With no confirmation of the other seven characters using Spirit Ashes, it seems highly likely that Revenant is the one who does.
Character With High Faith Stat Probability
In the official video, a scene was confirmed where she fights with the Halo Scythe, which also appeared in the main Elden Ring game. Using the Halo Scythe, a weapon that requires Faith in the main game, and since there are no other characters who seem to specialize in Faith, it can be predicted that she is a character with a high Faith stat.
Raider
The new Elden Ring Nightreign character, Raider, is a character who can withstand minor attacks, and attacks enemies with bold offenses. With their Ultimate Art, they attack with a giant tombstone, which can not only be used as a wall or platform, but also has a buff effect for allies.
