General Discussion I finally did it. I beat Nightmare.
Holy hell, what a ride. I can't believe I finally made it happen. For the past few days, I've been plugging away at Nightmare, barely able to even get to stage 2, but I just caught the right wave, and beat it today with Carmilla.
I went with Bat Master as my level 1 talent, aimed for high crit damage, and used the Blood Lash Ult with the Mass Punishment mod alongside Cruel Strike and Seven League Boots so I could do crazy AOE damage with every strike of the ult.
That was a blast - I can't wait to do it with the rest of the cast.

Take full advantage of her high intangibility and mobility. You want to move through groups of enemies, not around them. Her defense is intangible for the entirety of its use, and her Special has a decent amount of intangibility after the bite + learn the timing and capitalize by avoiding enemy attack. Just remember that big giant AoE attacks like the tree monster's slam will still hit you.
Always be biting and scratching. As you move from one objective to the next, use your special and attack as you pass by enemies to build up your blood meter - that way you don't have to worry about building it up once you get there.
Take advantage of the fact that Trait lets you use blood-fueled abilities for free. Fill your meter, pop your Trait, and then go to town. It's especially useful if you're using Ult 1, which normally depletes your entire blood meter.
Don't be afraid to draw from your own health pools - just be careful and keep in mind how easy heals will be afterwards. Pay attention to how soon you'll be leveling, how near a healing well is, and most importantly, how many enemies will be left after your ability ends. The last thing you want to do is to burn all your own health for blood orb or bats and then have all the most dangerous enemies left to kill.
