By day, she wields two daggers with agility, while by night, she is overwhelmed by brutality and bloodlust.
Franz is the Pied Piper of Hamelin. He uses his instrument, corrupted by the Nightmares, to control a horde of rats. Armed with his devastating melodies, he is able to weaken his enemies, while staying well away from danger.

Based on the famous Snow Queen tale, Nyss loses her healing skills to the Nightmares. She uses her newfound lethal powers to glide freely across the battlefield, slowing enemies and riddling them with ice spikes.
Aladdin is the famous hero of the Arabian Nights. As his wife gets trapped in the corrupted lamp, Aladdin takes up arms and battles the Nightmares to defeat the curse. Aladdin is an agile hand-to-hand combatant who can grant a wish for wealth, life or death to reverse the outcome of a fight.
