Passive

One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You
One of Freddy's opponents is trapped in a Nightmare. Freddy has a 50% chance for Lethal Blow to that opponent.

Team Passive

If Freddy Krueger has 2 Nightmare teammates, he can trap an additional opponent in the Nightmare. Nightmare teammates gain +10% critical hit chance on basic attacks.

Role

Freddy is a target-focused damage dealer built around lethal blows against opponents trapped in a Nightmare. Direct his main offensive effort at those targets to exploit his distinguishing advantage.

Strengths

The Nightmare bonus gives repeated attacks substantial upside without requiring an elimination first. A full Nightmare team extends the number of opponents against whom that advantage is available.

Weaknesses

His enhanced lethal chance does not apply equally to every enemy. Lethal blows remain probabilistic, so do not assume a single special will finish the target.

Best teams

Two Nightmare teammates unlock the additional trapped opponent and also benefit from his basic-attack critical support. This is a concrete reason to complete the team instead of mixing factions solely for base stats.

Where to use

Use him in multi-opponent fights where you can concentrate attacks on a trapped enemy. His team-building payoff matters less when the fight offers no additional target to trap.
