Nightmare Character Mini Guide

Nightmare includes 3 perks (0 Survivor · 3 Killer).

Unlock Identity

  • Top tags: Exit Gate, Tokens, Aura, Breakable Wall, Chase
  • Bloodpoint footprint: Deviousness, Hunter, Sacrifice
  • Killer-heavy pool: use perk value to force repeatable pressure loops, not one-off highlight plays.

How To Pilot This Character Pool

  • Choose one perk as the primary match-phase anchor, then let the second slot stabilize its weakest window.
  • If two character perks do the same job at different reliability, keep the safer trigger and use the spare slot for consistency.
  • Fire Up: The increased pressure of losing your preys fills you with anger and gives you unsuspected motivation.

Practical Use

  • Sample perks: Blood Warden, Fire Up, Remember Me
  • Blood Warden: As soon as at least one Exit Gate is opened, Blood Warden activates: The Auras of Survivors are revealed to you, whenever they are inside the Exit Gate .

Blood Warden

KillerNightmare

Once an exit gate is opened, reveals Survivors’ auras while they are inside the exit gate. Once per trial while active, hooking a Survivor blocks all opened exit gates for a short time.

Fire Up perk icon

Fire Up

KillerNightmare

As generators are completed, gains tokens that increase action speeds for key interactions such as picking up Survivors, breaking, damaging generators, and vaulting windows.

Remember Me perk icon

Remember Me

KillerNightmare

When the Obsession loses a health state, gains Tokens that increase the time required to open Exit Gates. The Obsession is unaffected by this penalty.
