Nightmare, in his various forms throughout Soul Chronicle, is a recurring antagonist. His attacks are slow but incredibly powerful, often leading to ring-outs. Focus on sidestepping his wide horizontal swings and punishing his recovery frames. Be wary of his unblockable attacks, which are heavily telegraphed but devastating. Use Guard Impacts to create openings and avoid his powerful grabs. Maintain distance when he enters Soul Charge.
- Attack Pattern: Slow, powerful, wide swings, unblockables.
- Weaknesses: Slow recovery, vulnerable to sidesteps.
- Strategy: Sidestep, punish, Guard Impact, avoid grabs.
