ChapterA Nightmare on Elm Street

Over time, The Nightmare forces Survivors into the Dream World. Once inside, Survivors will quickly realize the absence of a Terror Radius. With the ability to slow Survivors with Dream Snares, deceive with fake Dream Pallets, and pressure the map by teleporting directly to generators, The Nightmare lives up to his name.

Power

Dream Demon

The Nightmare spends each trial in the Dream World and can send Survivors to the Dream World with an attack. Use Dream Projection to teleport to an unfinished generator, allowing for oppressive map control. Use Dream Snares to slow sleeping Survivors down in a chase, or Dream Pallets to lure them into unsafe areas. To escape the Dream World, Survivors must find an Alarm Clock and wake up.

Perk

Fire Up

Whenever a generator is completed, The Nightmare gains a stackable action speed bonus when picking up and dropping Survivors, breaking pallets and walls, damaging generators, and vaulting.

Perk

Remember Me

Become obsessed with one Survivor. Each time your Obsession loses a health state, increase the time it takes to open the exit gates by 4 seconds, up to a maximum of 16 seconds. The Obsession is not affected by the slowdown penalty.

Perk

Blood Warden

When an exit gate is opened, reveal the auras of all Survivors inside the exit gate area. If you hook a Survivor while the gate is opened, The Entity prevents escape for all Survivors for a lengthy duration.

The Nightmare's Lore

Hiding behind a mask of friendliness, Freddy Krueger’s true temperament was known only to his victims. When those victims were finally heard, the parents of Springwood tracked Freddy down and took the law into their own hands. They thought that fire had rid them of the monster, that their children were finally safe -- but evil has a way of surviving. Years passed, and the horrors were mercifully forgotten. Then, somehow, Freddy returned, and dreams became nightmares once again.
