Nightmare difficulty

Chapter 1 Nightmare

Chapter 1 on Nightmare runs from stage 1-1 to 1-10. Stages 1-1 to 1-9 have 15 waves each. Stage 1-10 is a single fight against Paladin of Judgment. It needs one High Commander's Map, which a win uses up. Every stage gives 5 Soul Stones the first time you clear it. Offline EXP the heroes cannot take because of a stage's level cap turns into Souls: one fifth of it, averaged over your Formation.
