Trivia

A Victorian Feline suffering from dissociative identity disorder, the Gloria Rebel Pasbelletti everyone knew has a meek and innocent attitude. But her alter ego, known as "Nightmare," is a different story; she instead has an aggressive and brutal personality. Currently Gloria is under the care of Rhodes Island's Medical Department, with Perfumer's aromatherapy allowing her to keep her Nightmare persona in check and proves to be a skilled combatant with both offensive and healing Arts.

Introduction

Nightmare is a 5★ Core Caster who specializes in DPS, Healing, and Slow, which is a rare occasion where a single Operator have distinct specializations unrelated to their class' role, true to the fact that Nightmare has two contrasting personalities. As a Core Caster, Nightmare's attacks deal Arts damage to one target at a time with a range of 3×3 tiles with a 1-tile extension up front at Elite 1, and moderate ATK, attack interval, and DP cost.

Talent

Dual Personality has two different effects depending on the skill Nightmare is using (see below).

Skills

1. Drain Soul causes Nightmare's attacks to also heal one (two from Specialization Level 1) friendly unit within her range by a portion of her ATK while active. With Drain Soul, Dual Personality gives Nightmare a chance to dodge Physical and Arts attacks.
2. Night Phantom applies a debuff to multiple enemies within Nightmare's range once charged and at least one enemy is in her range which reduces the victims' movement speed by 60% and causes them to take True damage based on the distance they moved for a short time. With Night Phantom, Dual Personality buffs Nightmare's ATK.
   • Night Phantom is devastating against fast-moving enemies like Hounds, Breakers, and Arts Masters A1, and can be used to good effect when combined with Decel Binder Supporters' attacks since the MSPD reduction is independent from other MSPD reductions, especially against tanky enemies due to the True damage.
   • Since the debuff requires the target to move to apply the damage, Night Phantom will be harmless toward stationary enemies (including those being blocked) and the MSPD reduction might make it not as effective against slow-moving enemies, though this can be compensated to a degree by utilizing sources of shift effects.

Operator Module

The CCR-Y Module, "The Double", has Nightmare restore 1 SP whenever her attack damages an elite or boss enemy in addition to increasing her ATK and ASPD. Once upgraded, Dual Personality's dodge/ATK buff are increased.

Base skill

1. Caster Expert α speeds up the skill Specialization training of Casters by 30% while Nightmare is assigned as the trainer in the Training Room.
2. Psychology increases the recruitment tag refresh generation rate by 40% while Nightmare is assigned to the HR Office.

Summary

Nightmare is a very unusual Core Caster who is basically two Operators fused into one and can fulfill three separate roles effectively: healing friendlies, inflicting Arts DPS, and stalling enemies, but the difficulties in using her properly means that Nightmare mostly serves as a niche Operator though she remains useful in general situations.
