Overview

Berserker is a beginner-friendly character that uses his health to deal high damage. His air-to-ground ability is exceptional, letting him approach easily.

Berserker Berserker is classified as a Standard type. He is a well rounded character with many easy-to-use moves, highly aggressive aerial to ground techniques, and can sacrifice HP for enhanced attacks.

Pros

Cons

Relentless Pressure: Berserker's main trait is that he can always cancel his moves into either Frenzy or Conversion. This allows him to perform extended block pressure, deal massive guard gauge damage, and convert stray hits into highly damaging combo sequences, all while being safe from Guard Cancels.
Excellent Normals: Berserker's normals are rather fast for their reach, allowing him to simultaneously beat out longer ranged characters while spaced correctly and keep out shorter ranged characters from approaching him or counterattacking.
Anti-air Control: Berserker's 623MGuardMidStartup16RecoveryAdvantage-40, 5SGuardMidStartup18Recovery33Advantage-13, 2SGuardMidStartup16Recovery37Advantage-17 and 6SGuardMidStartup15RecoveryAdvantage-5 to an extent, are great at hitting airborne opponents. Thanks to these moves, Berserker is able to efficiently anti-air opponents that are still in their prejump frames.
Frenzy: Frenzy makes Berserker even more oppressive by strengthening his normals and increasing his run speed dramatically. He also gains access to Blood TwisterGuardMidStartup17RecoveryAdvantage+3, which can skip neutral on hit and block. On top of that, using Frenzy forces Berserker into recieving white life, which lets him abuse conversion.
Life Steal: His 214MGuardThrow (170)Startup11Recovery23Advantage- and his Awakening passive allows Berserker to alleviate one of his biggest weaknesses.

Volatile: While Frenzy greatly empowers Berserker, the health cost means he can have a lower effective health pool than average if his life steal properties are not succesful. On defense his reversal has lacking horizontal range and poor reward on hit due to it's long recovery, which can make reversing a situation somewhat difficult.
Sluggish: Without Frenzy, Berserker is a slower character who can struggle to approach zoning oriented characters such as Ranger.

Berserker's 5MGuardN/AStartup18RecoveryTotal 23Advantage- triggers Frenzy state, a unique install A move, usually a super, which changes the properties of the character themself, usually for the better.. In this state Berserker's attacks are powered up, with all attacks (except MP Special moves) dealing +10% damage, with improved versions of normals. He also gains a huge boost to his movement speed and higher jump height. This also unlocks access to an additional MP Special, Blood TwisterGuardMidStartup17RecoveryAdvantage+3.

However, Berserker will continuously receive 20 White Damage per second, and cannot perform a Guard Cancel. If he has only 1 Red Health remaining, he will instead lose White Health.

Awakening Effect: activates when entering Awakening mode at 30% HP or less.

20% of damage Berserker inflicts is recovered as HP.

Berserker’s 5B is a fantastic neutral tool. It hits from round start distance and is very safe. It’s only real downside is that it typically out-reaches it’s cancel options at max range, making it difficult to convert from at times. However this is usually a non-issue as Berserker’s goal is to be in his opponent’s face.

Another move that hits roundstart, pretty good range. 5B is typically a better poke overall, but 2B has its own niche. It’s good as a counter poke to higher-hitting moves as Berserker’s hurtbox is much lower than 5B. 2B (at least in normal mode) is also slightly more useful in combos as it suffers far less from hitstun decay in longer combos.

This move lowers Berserker's hurtbox significantly, allowing him to low profile many attacks such as Swift Master's 5BGuardMidStartup9Recovery29Advantage-17.

Knocks down on hit.

Gigantic air normal that is difficult to contest. While not having as much horizontal range as j.S, it boasts a significant hitbox on both sides, making it a stronger option in close range situations. Unlike the rest of his Frenzy normals, this one only hits once.

Berserker does a short hop jumping into the air and slams his sword on the ground. This is a common combo ender without resources, but it can extend combos if opponents are higher up and MP/Conversion is available. Having some juggle height beforehand allows 236M to combo, and having Conversion allows Berserker to use IAS Instant Air Special

While in Frenzy, his sword normals become more damaging, gaining a hit (except for j.B), and consequently dealing more guard gauge damage. Each of his M moves also gain additional properties. His run speed and jump arc also increases drastically, greatly improving his neutral.

Berserker’s health slowly turning into white health is a blessing in disguise as it gives him constant access to Conversion. His new Frenzy 5M, Blood Twister, vacuums opponents on hit and block (which he can then make plus with Conversion). This combined with his improved and double-hitting sword normals turns him into a guard crushing pressure monster.

Passively drains Berserker's health in the form of white health while active.
Automatically ends when Berserker is hit, uses another MP Skill, or uses Conversion.

A hitgrab that covers around 2/3 to 3/4 of the screen. Its enormous hitbox allows it to function as a very effective neutral skip, anti-air, and whiff punish option, leading to full combo on hit or pressure on block. As a pressure reset, it's very good, thanks to the vacuum effect on the earlier hits (and the fact that you're generally plus after connecting). However, it's pretty subpar as a combo tool, given the high MP cost and the presence of better, cheaper combo tools (in the form of j.M and 236M) that also lead into the same routes as Blood Twister

Berserker's invincible reversal, and a very strong preemptive anti-air. However, it has somewhat lacking horizontal range in exchange for hitting on both sides. If it hits, the resulting situation is typically a neutral reset which may be bad against some characters. It can also be used to punish guard cancel on reaction when Conversion is not available.

Due to it's OTG properties, it can sometimes be worth using as a combo ender to close out a round. Due to the long recovery afterwards however, it does not give a workable knockdown, meaning one should be careful about using it in this way.

It hits multiple times, so it can beat out armored moves like Grappler's Charged Low FlingGuardThrowStartup32RecoveryAdvantageN/A.

Does increased damage in Frenzy.

Berserker performs a slash with his sword into an explosion of blood. Plus on block, but pushes Berserker too far out to effectively leverage the frame advantage. More often than not the first hit will whiff, leaving a large gap in blockstrings and also leaving Berserker wide open for a punish.

In exchange for not being the greatest move in blockstrings, Blood Sword shines in corner combos and when Conversion is available. On airborne opponents, Blood Sword loops into itself if the first hit connects. Even though it doesn’t OTG, the first hit can still connect if the opponent bounces high enough. The first hit can also be Conversion cancelled to make Berserker obscenely plus on hit and block.

Causes a wall bounce in Frenzy.
Blood explosion is a projectile and will persist if 236M is Conversion cancelled.

A close range command grab which heals all of Berserker's current white health on hit. Synergizes very well with the rest of Berserker's kit, especially in Frenzy. Berserker has a relatively easy time conditioning his opponents to block with his normals, which allows him to cash out in this once they start to sit still. Along with healing his white health, Blood Lust also gives a workable knockdown. It’s best in the corner as it also sets up a meaty Gore Cross.

Does more damage in Frenzy (200).
Cannot be Conversion cancelled at all.
Has slightly more range than a regular grab, allowing for dashless tick throws in more circumstances.

Berserker slams his sword into the ground creating an explosion of blood where he lands, which hits on both sides of him. Combo extender and a pretty slow and impractical overhead. Usually needs conversion to be comboed into, which makes it perfect as a way to safely exit Frenzy.

Also functions as an oppressive jump-in option due to it's huge hitbox, generous plus frames, and the massive number of active frames that persist even if Berserker is hit, making it difficult to contest.

Hits OTG.
When in Frenzy, has a higher launch and more unconscious time, allowing for more combo follow-ups

Awakening Skill that turns Berserker into the Blood Majin. Only used as a combo ender when going for the kill, as not worth losing the passive lifesteal bonus otherwise. Comes with very short reach and only hits the area immediately surrounding Berserker.
