Guardian's ultimate in Elden Ring Nightreign can do more than you think. The right way to use it isn't that obvious
Guardian in Elden Ring: Nightreign is not just a tank. His ultimate ability can change the fate of the battle in other ways as well.
Elden Ring: Nightreign had its release a few days ago. That's definitely a lot of time to pick one of your favorite characters, especially since some of them are perfect for beginners, while others include a fair depth of mechanics. Nevertheless, each of them offers a unique approach to the preferred style of gameplay, offering powerful abilities.
A great example is Guardian - a winged defender who serves as both a tank and a . The problem is that not all descriptions of his abilities accurately explain exactly what they do. Understanding them fully will not only strengthen you and your team but also help you win many tough battles!
Wings of Salvation for the team

One of the most important skills that all classes in Elden Ring: Nightreign possess are definitely the ultimate abilities. They're charging slowly because they have powerful features. It's no different in the case of the Guardian, whose ability is called Wings of Salvation.
It allows you to ascend into the sky, only to land on the ground a moment later and hit everything around with great force. From my own experience, I can say that it can inflict quite a lot of damage, especially to many enemies at once. Many players I teamed up with seemed to use this skill to quickly take down a large group of enemies.
Correct use of ultimate art
The catch is that it's quite a big mistake. Wings of Salvation are indeed salvational for your team, if used the right way. Sure, dealing damage is a great reason to use it, but the real power comes from how useful it is for the team, not just how much health it can take from the enemies. And it seems that a large part of the players tend to forget about this.

The description indicates that after landing, the Guardian raises the defensive banner. This is a fact. The problem is that this ability only activates if you take care of it yourself. Many players who play as the Guardian just activate it and immediately start attacking enemies as soon as they hit the ground. That's a mistake. After landing on the ground, you should keep holding the button combination that activated the Wings of Salvation ability. The longer you hold it, the longer you and your allies standing in the area will be invulnerable. This is the perfect defensive ability.
However, there is another very important thing in this skill that many people seem to forget. It allows you to resurrect any fallen ally instantly, regardless of how many bars are currently above their character. This is a move that can turn the tide of a fight in an instant. Therefore, you should use the Wings of Salvation primarily in such circumstances.
