Become the Nightmare on Artix Entertainment

Become the Nightmare:

Everyone who has ever successfully defeated on of EpicDuel's extreme Nightmare bosses knows it can be a slog. To aid those who wish to grind out wins against Nightmare bosses for achievements and drops, we're adding new anti-Nightmare cores to the drop pools. These cores will have a 15% drop chance. Nightmare boss drops will also come equipped with anti-boss cores. If the Nightmare boss shares a drop pool with a non-Nightmare boss, those drops will also have anti-boss cores equipped where applicable.

The power increase for these cores are defined below:

Primary (Bane): +400
Sidearm (Shot): +200
Blast (Auxiliary): +200
Guard (Defenses): +300
