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 Primal Burst skills due to 怒震山河 图标怒震山河.

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.

克达之爪古物 图标克达之爪古物 is maintained through 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 and 破坏投掷 图标破坏投掷. If you decide to use other utility skills instead of 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋, consider changing your relic to one of the other recommended ones listed in Relic Notes.

Dealing Damage

During 狂暴 图标狂暴 downtime, use your Spear skills. Once 狂暴 图标狂暴 is ready, use 头槌重击 图标头槌重击怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流. Or if you start with full Adrenaline, skip 头槌重击 图标头槌重击怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流 in the opening.

Some useful things to know about your Spear set:

The following combos deal high Damage and should be prioritized:

Use 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 while on Greatsword to maintain 克达之爪古物 图标克达之爪古物.
