@gametrieuk I got a secret Tip: You can reload during Fung Fu.

@benn1nat0r and @TheSprinter85 served as inspiration for me to make this guide.

@gametrieuk What an amazing compilation of tips with detailed explanations 👍! I especially like that you made a tier list with counters for Nightcap. All of the tips are amazing and everything is well written, but the tier list for counters is something so creative I would have never thought of myself.Thank you for sharing this with us 😃.And of course thank you for crediting me 🙌!One thing I noticed is that the font size seems to change in sentences. This happened to me as well when I made my Acorn guide. I don't really know what to do about it, though. It took me 3 edits to get the font size to work.

Thanks for the tips! Like the list shows, Nightcap is very vulnerable and best played sneakily and evasively. Though I'd argue that All-Star is a good counter to Nightcap; Since her DPS is 60, it takes some time to vanquish him and can just use Dummy Shield. Plus, if she gets too close, you can Sprint Tackle or Imp Punt her.

@gametrieuk Thanks for crediting me! I have to agree with most of your tier list, maybe not with Steam Blaster though, I can easily work around them. As Nightcap, I almost find them a piece of cake to deal with.Well written post.

Nightcap tips

hello everyone, today I came to make a post with tips for this character, I will try to help people understand a little more about her.

ABILITIES

Nightcap's abilities kit is aimed at making it an invisible threat, a character that is not expected by the enemy team, and that manages to apply pressure with its piercing shot

casting shadows: this is by far the best hability of Nightcap, its versatility is immense, which allows it to work with it in countless ways during a match

Defensive: team the clear coating upgrade is to use casting shadows on your foot, that way you will be defensive and invisible, that way characters that require a lot of aim and that kill you in a few shots will have a lot more difficulties in dealing with you, this includes the 80's that will not kill you in a single arrow, engineer that will need 3 shots or also to protect himself from the spell disaster.
Support: use the incubate upgrade, and cast casting shadows on a revived ally or even you so you can revive faster.
Defensive for the team: put casting shadows on your team so that it can become invisible, recommendation never use on a single player on your team as this will only help to denounce his position, always use in groups of 3 or more.
offensive: use the corrode upgrade to further improve its effect on enemies, this way you will put casting shadows on the enemy's foot to try to stop him from running and be able to kill him more easily, recommendation characters like: SB, electric slide, all- star, scientist, 80's and wizard have methods of escaping casting shadows.

fung fu: this ability serves to grant 60% defense and finish enemies, due to how vulnerable he is, try to use the fung fu in a hidden way

Shadow sneak: shadow sneak is excellent for mobility, allows you to get out and in of combat with great ease, I recommend for when it is nosario to reposition in the middle of the combat the shadow sling upgrade

SPORE STRIKE

In general it has a good damage, a good snugness, which due to not having multiples that worsen its snugness in the air it has one of the best precision of the game, so making bunny hopping with it ends up being very efficient, your weapon has a piercing power that allows you to hit multiple enemies at once.

Statistics:

ROF - 200
DPS - 60
Damage - 18
ammunition - 20
maximum reticle multiplied - 2.8
Hit box - 0.5m
Reload time - 1.5s

counters:

Now I will put a list of characters that you should be more careful of, being -2 extreme danger, -1 medium danger, 0 fair / no one has an advantage, +1 Nightcap has many chances of winning and +2 has a huge chance of winning.

@benn1nat0r Thank you very much, and about the source I don't know what to do, I'll try to look at it later 😉

@Fork_x_Spoon Thanks, and on the all-star he will have a hard time keeping up with the Nightcap due to its poor accuracy, so to win it depends on his abilities, but if he misses them it is practically 100% defeat.

@TheSprinter85 When I play as Nightcap I get nearly instantly melted by Steam Blasters (lol?).

@benn1nat0rI use Nightcap to Shadow Sneak away when a Steam Blaster approaches or gets close to me, and move back a distance before attacking.

If I start to get damaged by the Steam, I quickly use Casting Shadows and Shadow Sneak to get away before reattacking. I have only ever used Fung Fu on Steam Blasters who are unaware of my presence at first.

I may also jump around erratically when fighting one.
EDIT: Typo.

@TheSprinter85 I also try that but the Steam Blasters I play against always look at the shadow on the ground Shadow Sneak creates. I can't really escape fast enough.

@benn1nat0rIf you do not already do this with Nightcap, try moving and jumping in less predictable patterns so that your Steam Blaster foes find it harder to track them, or try and sneak past them, rather than trying to get away from them, that could also work.

I also find that the Thorn Apart Legendary Upgrade for Rose is really useful against Steam Blasters. You can use your secondary attack to instavanquish Steam Blasters with 4 or more orbs charged. Good luck getting away from that Steamy friends - it has homing and you have no time to heal! Rose in general is an excellent character against them because the Jinx can increase damage they take from all sources, Arcane Enigma can be used to get away from them or to your team, Goatify can render them almost useless for a short time, not to mention they already have low health.

In my upcoming Legendary Upgrades Guides, I will also add enemies that can counter the Legendary Upgrades, to make it easier to counteract them.
