    Help with Berserker

    Berserker is an absolute nightmare to fight right now. I cannot stand the constant feints and guard-breaks. Why can he feint into a dang light that has hyper-armor and wide range so you cant even dodge out of the combo? Just why? I have not had one conversation with someone that has an answer to fighting berserker other than "just read bro." How can you read a hero with a move-set like his? I'm sitting here guessing directions and getting a light parry maybe once a fight. Does anyone have anything intelligent they can share that could help me or am I doomed to lose to this hero every time?

    P.S, Don't go saying, "oh, my main works great against berserker, just use my main." I don't care about your main, I use the heroes I like, not yours alright?

    Well I can tell you are frustrated and anyone who acts like they've never been with this game or with particular heroes is most likely lying. However you are opening yourself up to trolling by expressing it so much and telling people how they can and can't answer just a heads up.

    It is important though which hero(es) you are using where Berserker is giving you the most trouble. Berserkers often do exhibit a pattern with their heavy-feint into HA lights. Discern which direction the attacks favors and use that for light parry bait. You can also heavy feint yourself and hope to catch him using a side dodge light, those are easy parry bait... although a veteran Berserker likely will not use it unless its safe, like dodging a bash or a move that cannot be feinted. Those are just some general tips but anything else likely will depend on which hero you plan to use.

    Zekers run out of gas really fast, Your best bet is to not parry, just predict block, mostly predict block the heavies. Just attack when he stops, either cuz lack of stamina or cuz you block one of his lights. Remember, his lights deal only 13 damage and cost him a lot of stamina, just let him do his thing, then you do yours. Do your well, and you'll outclass him.
