Combat Techniques

Nidum’s primary attack delivers close-quarters slashing strikes requiring direct engagement with enemy clusters. Prioritizing defensive enhancements aids survivability during close approaches. The sweeping nature of these attacks enables multi-target damage, with progression allowing players to amplify specific blows for devastating critical effects.

For ranged versatility, Circular Claws projects a spinning energy disk through adversaries. Initial damage appears minimal, but skilled users maximize impact by maneuvering to ensure the projectile passes through multiple foes twice. This creates a dynamic positioning challenge during combat rotations.

While Cleaver can inflict damage, its primary utility lies in creating distance from threats. Experienced players conserve this dash ability for evasive maneuvers rather than offensive commitments, particularly when confronting bosses with anti-melee mechanics.

The Ritual ability unleashes healing projectiles that scale dramatically through upgrades. Initial modifications boost damage output, while advanced enhancements increase projectile count – making this ability the cornerstone of most build strategies.

Blood Lust provides escalating damage boosts through sustained aggression, rewarding players who maintain combat momentum while penalizing disengagement. This passive synergizes perfectly with Nidum’s hybrid toolkit of melee and ranged options that enable continuous offensive pressure.

Through its combination of area control, mobility, and self-sustain, Nidum delivers the quintessential melee combat experience while incorporating ranged flexibility for adaptive battle strategies.
