    Trying to parry nightmare is a good option?

    With my dual wielding swords War Im finding quite difficult to beat him. He's always outhiting me both in frequency and damage. I tried puting more activity to try to gain the initiative but still remains the same.

    Most of the time I end up being close to dead. My 2H War stats are 89/82/74/84/73/84/76 (including boosts from equipments) and I usually use lunge or parry-lunge. AL and BL level are generally around 5~7 (if that can help) and I only have the basic fighting styles along with parry and tank.

    Nigthmare is really a pain in the ass xD. All battles were easy victories till him. I try going very agressive, defensive, high-low activity or/and bloodlust and still all combats are still the same. He hits a lot more and harder than I do.

    I have just beaten him with my first gladiator after been stucked there for a week or more. I was losing the battle but I had a lucky strike in the head and knocked him out xD. At least my strategy of aiming for the head served me this time haha.

    Hope my theatrics snivler has the same luck or its gonna take long to beat that beast xD

    Nightmare is quite the beast, once you're past him, only general kain MIGHT(and I really mean MIGHT) pose some trouble.

    The other tiers might make you want to have never been born tho =/ imagine the second challenge of tier 2 being a way stronger version of nightmare

    Now, for beating nightmare, hitting either more often, or harder than him will do it. You can also tank him down, should you have unreasonable amounts of stamina :P.

    The problem was that even at 10 activity he outhitted my glads in terms on frequency despite they have both decent agility and ussually hitting a lot in arena battles. I think it could be for using medium armor against his light one.

    Tanking wasnt an option for me because neither of my glads is a great tank and he killed them a lot before using up his endurance.

    The point is also that my glad still have no skills. Just some weapon ones. Hope that when I start to build skills (that would be soon I hope if I reach that danm 10 :P) they are more prepared for this hard challanges hehe.

    unless weapon skill is 10, you dont want to go above 6 or 8 activity/bloodlust.
    Do you want to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women? Then follow the link below!

    I dont use to. In fact (and I find it funny xD) I exactly use 6 for my war and 8 for my theatrics standard activity. But vs Nigthmare I tried everything because with my default tactic he simply crushed my glads.

    Anyway both would be 10 in a week or so I hope

    Skull Reaver destroys me. The guide doesn't help at all against Skull Reaver because it just says he "bashes around" and is quite easy.

    I have fought him twice and both times he has started out immediately landing Sunder Armor, and then he proceeds to attack me repeatedly with very high damage. Both fights lasted 25-40 seconds...

    I don't get it; I'm supposed to be faster than him. Theatrics glad with 79 agility and 70 stamina who dual wields falchions, how can he be faster than me?

    What should I do?

    The agility difference isn't large besides that your Falchions have a speed of 1.45, His weapons are a flail of 1.45 speed and his fist which is 3 speed.
    Fists are also counted as weapons and when you are only wielding a one-handed weapon this means you are wielding that one handed weapon and a weapon of a speed of 3, this makes him faster than you.

    Either try switching strategies abit (higher activity etc.), wield one falchion instead of 2 just for that fight (who knows it might just work ) or wait untill your gladiator gets more points spent into his skills/gets new gear.
