Diabolos deals dark damage and sleep to enemies within area of effect and gradually reduces their hit points.

Technicals[edit]

Avatar: Diabolos (Dark)

Blood Pact: Ward

Cost: 42 MP

Level: 29

Effect Duration: Variable

Battle Application: Enfeebling

Damage Type: Magic

Additional Notes: Unlike other forms of sleep, the gradual HP reduction from this attack will not cause the targets to awaken.

Effects of Nightmare can be overwritten by Sleepga II
Unlike Diabolos Prime, any damage to the sleeping mob will wake them up.
Mobs with any Damage Over Time effect on can be slept with Nightmare.
Note that mobs put to sleep with other Damage Over Time effect on will wake up immediately if someone overwrites nightmare with Sleep II or Sleepga II.
Can occasionally miss entirely. "No effect" means the target is already affected by a Sleep II-class sleep; "Evades" means a resist.
Essentially this blood pact has 2 effects:
- (1) A Damage Over Time effect that doesn't break any Sleep;
- (2) A sleep effect that doesn't break on any Damage Over Time.
Duration varies between 30 to 90 seconds.
Fealty will not prevent the Sleep from taking effect like it normally does against Sleep, Sleepga and other sources.

It may be possible to build resistance to Nightmare's Sleep effect. (See Talk Page)
