Name: NightmareAlignment: Cosmos
Fighting Style: Fusilier: Pelts opponents with a barrage of weak but quick attacks from multi-form weapons.
Brave Attacks: Ground:
-
Gunslinger (ground) [Long Range] Draws both guns and unleashes a steady barrage of bullets, striking the opponent repeatedly for relatively low damage and slowly carrying them away.
-
Ascension Shot [Close Range] A quick gun shot at the ground that explodes and blows away the opponent. (Chase effect.)

Executioner [Close Range] Two quick slashes in an X pattern from one sword, followed by a quick high-damage point-blank gunshot that launches the opponent. (Wall Rush effect.)
-
Saber Synergy [Mid Range] Lunge forward with both swords drawn, then unleash a furious combo of sword swipes from both blades, before knocking the opponent away with a powerful swing from both swords. (Wall Rush effect.)
-
Reel Chain [Long Range] Extends a chain out ahead to snare opponents and draw them in. Great reach, but moves in a straight line.
- O - Punishing Lance [Close Range] Brave links from Reel Chain. Once the enemy is drawn in, twirl a spear around to strike the opponent repeatedly, before bringing the spear up and slamming it down onto their head and driving them into the ground. (Wall Rush effect.)
- □ - Spear Dance [Close Range] HP links from Reel Chain. Knocks the opponent overhead with a strike from a spear, then juggles them in the air with repeated stabs, before hooking the opponent with one final stab and swinging them in an arc overhead and driving them into the ground. (Wall Rush effect.)

Twister [Close Range] Twirls a spear in front of his body for a moment, dicing opponents and reflecting small projectiles. Can extend the length of the attack by tapping the button repeatedly. (Absorb effect.)

- □ - Nightmare Barrage [Mid Range] HP links from Soaring Strike. Juggles the opponent in the air with a barrage of many fast moving bullets from both guns, before flipping them into swords and delivering a powerful leaping slash from both blades at once. (Wall Rush effect.)
Air:
-
Gunslinger (air) [Long Range] Draws both guns and unleashes a steady barrage of bullets at a downward diagonal angle, striking the opponent repeatedly for relatively low damage and slowly carrying them away while suspending himself in the air momentarily.
-
Blade Tempest [Mid Range] Curls up in a ball with both swords in hand and somersaults toward the opponent, the last hit slamming them toward the ground. (Absorb effect, Wall Rush effect.)
-
Bullet Dive [Close Range] A quick spinning kick that traps the opponent beneath Nightmare (if it connects) before flipping upside down and spinning around with both guns outstretched, firing a barrage of bullets downward toward the opponent to rack up a number of hits before flipping back upright with a heel drop to send the opponent toward the ground (if it connects.) First kick doesn't need to hit to continue the attack. (Wall Rush effect on last kick.)
-
Snare Shot [Long Range] Throws both arms out to his sides, guns in hand, while firing a few shots. The bullets flare out, then home in on the opponent. (Chase Effect.)

EX Burst:Divine JudgmentNightmare fires a shot from his gun, the bullet piercing the opponent and shattering the screen. The
O button must be pressed repeatedly to fill up a gauge while Nightmare rises the opponent in the air with energy swirling around them, dealing brave damage. At the end of the input, the enemy is suspended in the air by energy shackles around their ankles and wrists.
Nightmare Barrage (if input is failed) Nightmare fires a barrage of bullets from his guns at the restrained opponent, followed by a single, large shot.
Saint's Arrow (if input is perfect) Nightmare holds his guns out in the likeness of a bow and arrow. Purple energy flows between the guns and forms a giant energy bow, armed with an arrow. A pull of the trigger fires the energy from the weapons in the form of a massive arrow that rip through the air and digs into the restrained opponent.
