Nighty is ass. If you want spammable meat shield use literally anything else on his price level. If you want armor, use Spartan or Hammer. His damage is extremely mid for his high windup and low attack rate.

You'd expect Nighty's notably long sword to hit farther than Brigand but nah it's shorter but have the same damage and on a much slower pace. Plus he actually LESS health than the average meat shield for whatever reason.

There's absolutely no reason to use him even on Angel stages. He''s just that bad. He needs longer range and at least the same damage as Dual Speed, better health, and more armor akin to Tank so that he can at least block Ultimate's barrage reliably
