Character Stats
Overview
Berserker dons a suit of Rathalos armor, appearing as a flagship of Primal Crisis Part 1. Though joining the most saturated of archetypes, Berserker plays nothing like a traditional Sword user. Forsaking basic combos, Berserker is content to spam empowered Force Strikes from ridiculous ranges and is granted knockback immunity while doing so. Alas, Berserker faces fierce competition, courtesy of Mana Spirals. Naveed scales better over time and Euden inflicts Burn, although neither can top the novelty of Berserker’s unique playstyle.
Strengths
Titanic Force StrikesÂ
The range of Berserker’s Lvl. 3 FS rivals that of Bow/Wand users, whereas traditional Sword users suffer from limited reach and must play on the front lines. Lion’s Maw cranks the modifiers even higher, resulting in enormous spurts of burst damage.Â
DEF Reduction UptimeÂ
Due to the modified Force Strike SP gains, Moonbreaker is fully charged off two Lvl. 3 Force Strikes. This is significantly faster than the DEF reduction’s duration, enabling essentially 100% uptime.
Weaknesses
No BurnÂ
Berserker cannot contribute to Burning Punisher comps like Euden can. If the team lacks a Xania/Rena, Elegant Escort setups will not function.Â
ClunkyÂ
The new Force Strike animations are long and cannot be cancelled midway. Furthermore, they offer nothing in terms of mobility; a mistimed Force Strike can easily lock players into dangerous situations.
Dragon Recommendations
Cerberus provides the most consistent boost to overall damage.
Arctos meshes well with Reduced Defense Devastator.Â
Ifrit is a serviceable budget pick, granting a solid 45% STR bump.
Weapon Recommendations
Budget Option: Blade of Glory
Wyrmprint Recommendations
Pair 1
Pair 1: Focuses on Berserker's Force Strikes and Crit capabilities. Slot 1 may be replaced by Mega Friends, while Slot 2 may hold any %STR Wyrmprint or Elegant Escort if running with Burn allies.Â
