Health Scaling
Just like normal Nightmare Dungeons, the Abattoir of Zir employs additional health scaling to its monsters within. Where in normal Nightmare Dungeons the health scaling is used to tune down higher leveled monster's HP, in the AoZ the health scaling is used to increase the difficulty.
| Tier | Monster Level | Health Scaling | HP increase |
