What are Nightmares

In SINoALICE a Nightmare is a type of monster you can equip to your character job/grid just like armours, and can be summoned in battles to aid allies and cripple opponents by increasing the effectiveness of their weapons, SP or HP recovery, or some special mechanics like resisting fatal blows. Check out our What are Nightmares guide to find out more about them.

Only a single Nightmare can be summoned per battle, and once summoned, the other players cannot summon that Nightmare for the rest of the fight. A Nightmare's usage will vary depending on their skills so it is important that you communicate between allies in order to outsmart enemies and best utilise a Nightmare's abilities.
