Berserker fix | Forums

[C0lt4d5]

So I Love the concept of the Berserker, but His combos seem lack luster. I like the continual chain that is uninterruptible after 4 moves, but This is about all he has, until his stamina runs out. Give him an un-blockable, a stun, or a trip. Having to be in so close it is hard to get blocked or parried, and then trying to retreat with little to no stamina. Peacekeeper has stabs, Orochi has deflects, and I feel like the Berserker is just missing something. I love the look, and the character. It just seems like he takes a tremendous amount of skill, to achieve the same things as the others.
Please hear me when I say, This is not a complaint about Damage. His damage is fine. He just needs something else to spice him up. My thought would be if you dodge/ deflect an overhead attack, he does a flip over his opponent to gain their back. (animation takes a second allowing maybe 1 side heavy) Just a thought to give him something worth while. any other suggestions feel free to post doesn't have to be a flip or anything

berserker's design is amazing as is, you just haven't figured him out yet :P

It takes a patience to learn Berserker. It's my first class and i just start to fighting mid-core.
As a freshzerker, i advise you to be unpredictable. Dodge frequently. It makes your rival to re-think their aproach at every move rather than block and bash like caveman.
"Dodge+light"> "block break" > "Upper heavy" - if enemy is blocking it (it's rather slow than sides), go for the side after- .
Most of the slobs fell for it and get intimidated. Don't get too hasty, manage your stamina. If you are not used to parry, don't risk it if your foe is hard hitter, actually don't risk parry for all unless you are not proficient. And sugoichi, dude with giant beatstcik, don't try parry. Your best weapon is your speed. You may be a burly pile of muscles but you can dodge like butterfly and sting like bee.
Your damage seems a low at start, but when you connect a heavy combo, you will realize it punshies good and gave you enough time to step away for regain stamina and prepare next move.
Keys for zerker in my opinion is:
1- Calculate your enemies skill. Since you can dodge fast, its simple.(check my avice for example combo)
2- Stay away from ledges unless you are sure to use battlefield.
3- Don't start the fight with heavy. If yout get parried or blocked, you can lose a good chunk of health.
4- Don't lose your focus. You may get beaten like a toddler but next round, you can beat him like a toddler. It happens alot. Don't judge berserker quickly. It's a glass cannon.

My next targets are,
1- Getting good with block&parry
2- Doing better with infinite loop attack (it's good if you get newbs)
3- Trying to get better with dash+light starter.
4- Find and create new openings for combos.
