Description

Halloween II Nightmare is the harder version of Halloween II, with it having enemies with shield. Enemies from Endless Mode like Anti Golems and REDACTED also make an appearance, along with the Predator. are also present in this gamemode. Nightmare Corrupted Predator is an upgraded version of the Corrupted Predator from Halloween II that charges for a longer amount of time, deals more damage, and has more health. Four stealthed Predators will also accompany them on Wave 18.

The Vile Engineer is the main boss of this gamemode. It is a stronger version of the Engineer that deals more damage and uses its E.M.P. blast more frequently. It is accompanied by the Nightmare Heretic from Halloween I Nightmare.

Tower Perks

• Combat Drone costs 150% more.

Strategies

• Spawner towers like Barracks and Armored Factory and towers with high DPS and long range like XWM Turret are recommended for this gamemode. Helicopter can trivialize gamemode without much effort, you just need to remember to move them away and manage your Helicopters, or sell them when the Vile Engineer uses his E.M.P or the Nightmare Corrupted Predators corrupt one.
• John is very useful for dealing with hordes of enemies such as Skulltists, which have high resistances to most forms of damage, and Nail Heads, which generate Shield over time. A 4-X John is very useful for dealing with Skullists as it pierces the Skullists' resistances and an X-5 John is good for dealing with Nail Heads as by using the John Axe ability on them, players can effectively neutralize them before they become a threat.
• On wave 14, where multiple Mr. Saws and 4 Nail Heads spawn on the right path, try to put a John at the entrance and upgrade it to X-5, then use the John Axe ability against the Nail Heads to instantly killing them and prevent them from turning into a big threat.
• On wave 18, where 2 Nightmare Corrupted Predators and 4 Predators spawn, you should have at least a few XWM Turret inside the circle to stall them, consider selling any towers converted by the Nightmare Corrupted Predator before they do any damage to your defense.
