• Mayhem/Madness Build
• Technique Berserker Build

Berserker Class Overview

The Berserker is a male character class that specializes in melee combat. During battle, the Berserker’s Fury Meter fills up, allowing them to activate Burst Mode. This mode enhances their mobility and attack power, but has a 30-second cooldown. While in Burst Mode, the Berserker can perform a unique attack called Bloody Rush.

Although the Berserker possesses balanced offensive and defensive capabilities, their speed and agility are relatively low. Many of their attacks have long recharge times and are limited to short-range with no additional effects. Despite these limitations, the Berserker is considered one of the most powerful classes in the game, capable of both dealing and absorbing damage. It is also an easy class to learn for beginners.

The Berserker is a popular choice for solo players due to its self-sufficiency. However, it lacks any buffs for team play. By selecting the right build, the Berserker can increase their speed and strength, making them a viable choice for both PvE and PvP.

Mayhem/Madness Build

The Mayhem/Madness Build is one of the most commonly used builds for the Berserker in Lost Ark. This build focuses on increasing damage and speed at the cost of health. Its corresponding engraving is characterized by:

1. A constantly filled Fury Meter,
2. Reduced maximum health to 25% (and a 25% reduction in protection spells), but also a decrease in damage taken by 65% when Burst Mode is active,
3. The ability to turn off Burst Mode to regain a quarter of health, but with a 30-second cooldown.

The following engravings are recommended for the Mayhem/Madness Build:

1. Mayhem – a crucial engraving for the build that increases damage and speed at the cost of health and protection,
2. Master’s Tenacity – an engraving that increases damage dealt when health is below 50%, which works well with Mayhem’s reduction in health caused by Burst Mode.

Optional engravings for the Mayhem/Madness Build include:

1. Cursed Doll – an engraving that increases damage at the cost of healing, but is not relevant when using green HP Potions,
2. Keen Blunt Weapon – an engraving that increases critical damage at the cost of normal damage (requires high critical stats),
3. Grudge – an engraving that increases damage against bosses, but also increases damage taken,
4. Raid Captain – an engraving that increases character damage if the Swiftness stat is high.

Combat Stats:

This guide outlines two different Berserker builds: Mayhem and Technique. In the Mayhem build, it is important to allocate 55% of available points to Crit to increase the chance of dealing critical damage, and 45% to Swiftness to increase attack speed, movement speed, and skill cooldowns. However, if you want to rely less on critical strikes, you can even out the stats closer to 50/50 or go higher on Swiftness, as Mayhem lowers the critical damage chance.

The guide also provides a list of recommended skills, tripods, and runes for the Mayhem build. The skills are categorized with their tripod and rune recommendations, along with suggested skill levels. The Berserker in Mayhem form has very little health, so it’s important to avoid being cornered, monitor health, and dodge hits. Shoulder Charge is an additional dodge option to help with this.

The Technique Berserker build is simpler than Mayhem and focuses on getting the best out of Burst Mode while keeping its standard form. This build has a high amount of health and a high chance of critical damage. Depending on your approach, you can increase the critical damage chance with stats or focus on Specialization to improve the stats and duration of Burst Mode. The guide also provides a section on engravings.

To enhance your Technique Berserker build in AC Valhalla, there are a few key engravings and stats to focus on. Firstly, the Berserker’s Technique engraving is essential as it increases critical damage and prevents Exhaustion status after Burst Mode ends. The Master of Ambush engraving is also useful for increased damage dealt with back attacks. Additionally, consider the optional engravings of Awakening for reduced cooldown time, Keen Blunt Weapon for increased critical damage, and Raid Captain Spirit Absorption for increased damage based on character speed.

In terms of stats, assign around 25% of points to Crit and 75% to Specialization for improved Burst Mode quality. For skills, focus on Finish Strike, Shoulder Charge, Tempest Slash, Hell Blade, Chain Sword, Wind Blade, Red Dust, and Strike Wave, with Chain of Vengeance as the Awakening skill. Use Stagger skills to block attacks during boss fights, and be mindful of surroundings as the build loses strength when Burst Mode ends.
