Passive A: Distant Counter / Distant Ward
Passive B: Quick Riposte / Lull Atk/Def
Passive C: Pulse Smoke / Atk Smoke / Joint Drive Res
Sacred Seal: Warding Stance / Heavy Blade / Quick Riposte / Spd/Res Solo
- The crux of this build is the Dark Royal Spear: Berkut can benefit from both the +5 bonus stats and the Lull Atk/Def effects when defending against enemy attackers, so the rest of his skills serve to complement this Enemy Phase playstyle.
- While Berkut’s Assist skill is unessential, best filled by a movement assist or any other complementary skill, his Special skill is significant. Restorative Special skills such as Sol or Noontime ensure Berkut’s survival, while Bonfire can be a serviceable alternative for those seeking greater damage output.
- Distant Counter is near essential for Berkut. While an alternative like Distant Ward can be effective, and in some uses superior, the overwhelming versatility of Distant Counter is difficult to pass up on. Distant Counter ensures that Berkut can combat the main hero-type he is best suited to fighting: ranged Player Phase attackers.
- Quick Riposte is another essential skill. While this can be run in the B slot passive or as a Sacred Seal, the limitations regarding skill inheritance for cavalry heroes makes Berkut’s Sacred Seal slot more valuable. For B slot alternatives, stacking Lull Atk/Def can be a viable option.
- Berkut’s Passive C can be used to mitigate enemy damage or augment the defensive stats of himself and his teammates. Pulse Smoke, Atk Smoke and Joint Drive Res are all worthy of consideration.
- If Berkut is not running Quick Riposte in the B slot, it’s a necessity here. Otherwise, Berkut’s Sacred Seal slot is quite versatile: Warding Stance and Spd/Res Solo both offer bonus Resistance alongside other stats with conditions which Berkut can adhere to with ease. Heavy Blade is another fair choice for Special acceleration.
Strengths
Dark Royal Spear
Berkut’s PRF weapon, the Dark Royal Spear, transforms the Rigelian scion from an unnoteworthy lance cavalry hero into a respectable Enemy Phase combatant. Atk/Def/Res+5 and a Lull Atk/Def effect make this weapon the premium choice for any of Berkut’s best builds.
Good Attack
Berkut has a respectable Attack stat of 34, which serves as a respectable foundation to be further augmented with dragonflowers and trait fruits. Berkut’s Attack is no doubt his most important stat, as it complements skills like Quick Riposte exceptionally well.
Respectable Mixed Bulk
Berkut's physical bulk is noteworthy: base 43 HP and 31 Defense give Berkut adequate combat potential against melee heroes and allow him to take reasonable physical punishment. While his base 24 Resistance is less noteworthy, the +5 bonus from Dark Royal Spear and neutralisation of enemy Attack bonuses allows him to sustain magical damage more effectively than it would appear at first glance.
Weaknesses
Weak on Player Phase
The Dark Royal Spear offers plentiful combat bonuses, but they are best utilised when defending against enemy attacks. Berkut will be much less effective in the Player Phase, forcing him to rely on his high Attack.
Limited Trench Movement
As a cavalry hero, Berkut will struggle to operate in rough terrain with forest or trench tiles. While this isn’t a huge drawback given his Enemy Phase-oriented playstyle, it limits his usability on maps where trenches and forests are relevant.
Low Speed
Berkut’s Speed is a clearly defined dump stat. The Rigelian Prince is incredibly vulnerable to follow-up attacks, and must rely on his defensive stats to protect himself. Berkut's low Speed also forces him to rely upon skills like Quick Riposte to deal considerable damage on the Enemy Phase.

With his refine I genuinely believe Berkut is good. With it he gains +5 Atk/Def/Res, and gains a Lull Atk/Def in his weapon aline, adding a lot more bulk and damage output.
As he is a tank I added Swap to take over the front lines, and Sturdy Stance to double down on that enemy phasing. His Speed stinks, hence the Quick Riposte, but other than that he definitely rose in usefulness.
As for his C you could add a Threaten Atk or Smoke, but out of pure forgetfulness I didn't and used a seal instead.

Game press is broke, but his B is Lull Atk/Def 3, and the Seal is QR. With his refined signature Spear, Berkut gets an essential +8 to Atk/Def/Res, and with his B slot, that goes up to +11, giving him a monstrous 61 attack, a titanic 42 defense, and a respectable 35 resistance, not to mention Berkut has access to cavalry buffs as well. This allows for a potent cavalry tank, as a single ward cavalry pumps his defenses up to 46/39, so distant counter is taken to allow Berkut to beat mages and bow users. Sol provides sustain, and allows Berkut to finish his opponents with that crucial follow up attack.

(It is suppose to be lull atk/def 3, but that does not exist on this website)
He tanks alot if you have him highly merged, and he has really nice mixed bulk. With the -6 atk/def from double lull he becomes even more of a threat and a better tank, i would reccomend this build to anyone.

Hello hello~! Mia here-
Today I bring you my personal build for berkut, I will note his stats in my explanation as +10, 5df, and married (S-rank SS)~
As everyone knows, the Rigelian prince had been screwed over by FEH as a good amount of strong, beloved characters did and ended up as garbage. Yet, to those wanting to bring out the true monstrosity he deserved to be I bring you this build.
As you can notice, this build definitely doesn't focus on his offensive stat, instead it breaks it down with the fortress skills but still leaves offensive capabilities. With Berkut's Lance(+def), Fort. Def/Res 3 and Fortress Res 3 it should leave you with an incredible bulk of 59HP/49DEF/49RES when getting attacked. Which to me, sounds good. I built him to be a cavalry tank, easy to move across the battlefield to whereever he is needed.
I chose Aether to further make him be able to handle more. Because of his terrible speed which is 29 at that point, he'll get doubled alot, so Aether should charge fairly quickly and bring him back to glory again in time of need. I chose Panic Smoke 3 to increase his capabilities when surrounded. Any opponent that dares come buffed would soon have their gained strength get taken away. Dull Ranged 3 was a reasonable choice for a B skill, neutralizing the threat of bladetomes for the most part.
I know this build practically works on everyone, and maybe even better on them, but I still wanted to show this off, because Berkut is a villain very precious to me.
Have a good day/night/whatever~ Mia out~

Ok, This is the build i am personally using for my Berkut and from my expirience it is great.
At +8 merges and four flowers with this build he reaches 54HP, 48 Atk, 25 Spd , 42 Def and 43 res,
if u ad eir support during light season this goes up to 59 hp and 48 res.
Know i know you will say "oh what is this buil he can't even counter attack". And to that i say to shut your mouth and listen, you use this build as a straight up mixed tank for AR-O during light season that nullifies foes buffs and debuffs their attack for a easier time taking them out
This works well because his mixed bulk lets him take samll to no damage from some units and also nullifie their buffs
I really recomend this build and hope you have a great time using it
*note*
Can use any smoke (even panic or pulse) with the same efficency and if you want to be more budget you can swap fort. DEF/RES for Fortress res
Take care!
