Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Berserker gains access to 狂暴 图标狂暴, which after activation:

  • It provides us with Superspeed, Quickness, bonus Power and Condition Damage
  • It limits our Adrenaline to ten
  • Most notably, it gives us access to a new and shiny set of Primal Bursts.

狂暴 图标狂暴 mode lasts for 20 seconds and can be extended with usage of Rage skills due to 终焉炽火 图标终焉炽火.

The best way to enter 狂暴 图标狂暴 quickly is by using 头槌重击 图标头槌重击怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流. This will give you maximum Adrenaline and immediately Stun Break you.

Using a Primal Burst will grant you and your allies Quickness due to 炽热灵魂 图标炽热灵魂.

火焰之王 图标火焰之王 is one of the foundations on this build.

  • Gain Fire Aura when landing a Critical Hit or by using a Combo Finisher: Leap when standing in a Fire Field.
  • You can then detonate your Fire Aura by using any Rage skill.

Dealing Damage

Use "为了正义!" 图标"为了正义!" as you get into combat to make sure you start with Might and Fury.

Follow this skill priority on your Longbow set:

If you're feeling strong and therefore won't need Healing anytime soon, you can use the following combo: 焦土炙箭 图标焦土炙箭鲜血清算 图标鲜血清算焦土炙箭 图标焦土炙箭.

Aim to use 火箭散射 图标火箭散射 twice before using Weapon Swap. Keep in mind 火箭散射 图标火箭散射 can be interrupted with 焦土炙箭 图标焦土炙箭 and Weapon Swap.

Cleave with 焦土炙箭 图标焦土炙箭 to gain 怒气迸发 图标怒气迸发 stacks, which increase your Damage.

Follow this skill priority on your Sword set:

*Assuming you don't have Fire Aura and a fire field is present.

When on Sword, you should Weapon Swap back to Longbow as soon as possible.

We have access to a couple of Combo Finisher: Leap:

Using 破甲跃击 图标破甲跃击 both generates a Fire Aura and explodes it.

Use 头槌重击 图标头槌重击怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流 while already in 狂暴 图标狂暴 to increase its duration. You can also use 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流 on its own too as it has half the Cooldown of 头槌重击 图标头槌重击.

Defense

鲜血清算 图标鲜血清算 makes you essentially unkillable for the skill's duration, assuming you dealt damaging conditions to your enemy.

Keep in mind you can stay on Longbow while kiting your enemy's attacks to avoid Damage.

A well-timed 烈焰乱舞 图标烈焰乱舞 can serve as a defensive skill thanks to its Projectile Destruction.

Weapon Swap to lose conditions via 混斗复元 图标混斗复元. 战争烈焰 图标战争烈焰 also acts as a Condition Removal.

Besides that, 野蛮跳跃 图标野蛮跳跃 and 破甲跃击 图标破甲跃击 remove Immobilized whenever used.

Keep in mind that both 头槌重击 图标头槌重击 and 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流 are Stun Breaks.
