BOSSES

Nightlord Strategies

The eight Nightlords are the whole point of a run. Match your damage type, learn the pattern, and coordinate the squad.

General approach

  • Scout the Nightlord's weakness and bring a weapon/affinity that exploits it.
  • Assign roles going in: one draws aggro, others burst from the flanks.
  • Punish the big wind-ups; don't greed damage into unsafe recoveries.
  • Save revives and Ultimates for phase transitions and near-wipes.
  • Heolstor (the finale) demands your best-levelled run — treat it as the graduation exam.
