should point out: im using a green attack spell, a red attack spell, and a blue heal spell, all on vuu
Your spell selection is good, that's what I usually go for. There are a few things you could do:
- Buy better equipment in the shop if possible.
- Buy and equip combo spells (in the combometer menu). If you reach a combo that matches an equipped spell by clearing blocks quickly, that spell will appear above the combo count. Click it (or lose your combo), and that spell will be cast for free. Basically equip combo spell > reach corresponding combo > get free spell.
- Last but not least, amplification. This is slightly spoilery if you want to do everything on your own, but there are 4 rank up orbs hidden in the demo. For each one you find, you'll be able to rank up at the big red crystal in Sablee, which allows you to equip more spells/relics/trinkets. You can find 2 of these orbs at this point, but I'll let you decide if you want to find them by yourself or look them up in the walkthrough (https://www.patreon.com/posts/walkthrough-by-33962675). The walkthrough also contains some more advice for fighting Nightmare. ^^
That being said I realize that Nightmare is a sudden difficulty spike, sorry about that. I'll make sure everything is introduced slowly over time in the final version of the game!
