Pros
  • Berserk is the hardest-hitting ST skill in the game right now, sporting a massive combined 300 BP with sky-high Crit Rate, which also ignores any Endure skill. In addition, if the first part of the skill manages to kill the target, the chain effect will go off on a separate demon, effectively letting you clean up two demons in one go.
  • High AGI and STR, coupled with his massive damage output, makes him a perfect fit for fast T1 teams, especially if paired with Masakado A, Angra Mainyu etc.
  • Gains access to the rare Death Blow in Purple, further increasing his damage. Red gives him access to discounted Binge Eating which helps to offset the fixed damage from Berserker Armor.
Cons
  • Berserk only has two charges. This makes missing particularly painful for him.
  • Berserker Armor takes off 30% of his Max HP and the end of the opponent's turn, effectively turning him into a ticking time bomb. That can be mitigated using Embattle Brands or running in Teams with Demons that can cast Bulwark, as it inflicts a Fractional Damage on itself, which hits the HP buffer first.
Notes
  • Berserker Armor reduces ALL damage he takes by 40%. As damage reduction stacks additively, it is possible to reach over 100% AOE Reduction if combined with demons like Orcus + Slime and take literally zero damage (outside of Fractional damage).
  • Limited-time Collaboration unit. Nobody knows if he will be rerun.
  • Due to how powerful crits are in Phys Democalypse, he is a fantastic Prelim sweeper due to Berserker Armor's high crit boost, provided you transfer an AOE like Gigantomachia.

ArchPurple.png Transferred Skills Notes:

A beast in T1 teams. A insanely strong ST nuker in the meta with an attack that can easily cleave through walls or eliminate 2 demons in 1 attack. Berserk's high crit rate, his passive boosting crit rate and with Wicked Strike, he is almost guaranteed to crit with every hit. Mostly used for T1 teams as the draw back of his passive will not acivate if you manage to win quickly. With P2 he can still tank a hit without going down via his own passive. He can be paired with Slime + Orcus and with his P2, he will take little to no damage from AOEs, really powerful against teams that heavily rely on sweepers.
