EX 	Florence Nightingale
EX 	Nightingale communicates in a composed manner, but establishing mutual understanding can be challenging as she predominantly engages in self-dialogue.Fate/Grand Order material III — Profile of Florence Nightingale, translated by ComunCoutinho at Reddit. Her primary focus lies in tending to the sick and injured. To persuade her, one must demonstrate that a proposition contributes to the betterment of others' health and well-being.
EX 	Florence Nightingale (Santa)
EX 	It's unclear whether this happened because the qualities of her original Berserker Spirit Origin were retained, or if it was that the hero Nightingale's characteristics remained. She may be more mild-mannered in her speech than she was as a Berserker, but her conversational style hasn't really changed much.

Although she is mentally unwell, both Raikou and those around her may not fully comprehend the depth of her condition. Persuading her to change her behavior proves to be an insurmountable challenge.Fate/Grand Order material IV — Profile of Minamoto-no-Raikou, translated by Clyton at Beast's Lair.

EX 	Because of the summer, Musashi has become very strange.
EX 	Penthesilea

EX 	Spartacus
EX 	Even when under Mad Enhancement, Spartacus is able to hold a conversation, despite this he is fixated on always making the most difficult choice, so essentially, a mutual understanding with him is impossible.Fate/Apocrypha material He is also solely focused on rebelling against oppression.
EX 	Vlad III (Berserker)
EX 	Although under the influence of Mad Enhancement, Vlad's thinking is decent and not even his wish for the Holy Grail has changed. That said, the fact that he accepted the features of a vampire is unprecedented for him.Fate/Grand Order material I & II: section on Saber Lily, Cú Chulainn (Proto), Stheno, Carmilla, Vlad III and Diarmuid Skills, translated by Master of Chaos at Beast's Lair (post does not contain a comprehensive translation of all Skills of the mentioned Servants).
EX 	Miyamoto Musashi (Berserker)
EX 	This skill is acquired upon manifestation and results in a minor enhancement of certain attributes. While communication remains feasible, making rational decisions necessitates a Luck check
EX 	Ushi Gozen (Rider), Ushi Gozen (Avenger)
EX 	In concert with Divine Manifestation, she can continuously hide this skill from even her Master. Increases some parameters. Rational conversation is seemingly possible, but reaching a mutual understanding is extremely difficult. In Class Rider, not even the combined power of three Command Spellswere capable of stopping her rampage.
EX (C)	Cú Chulainn (Alter)
EX (C)	Because he is a Berserker born through a desire wished upon the Holy Grail, Cú Chulainn Alter is capable of reasoning, although Mad Enhancement bonuses are actually equivalent to Rank C.

A+ 	Caligula
A+ 	Only Caligula's mission to expand the Roman Empire and make it prosper is not lost from his mind. Thanks to this, if an ally approaches him citing Rome, a Luck Check occurs, and if successful, he restrains his rampage. If the ally has ties with Rome, the check will be easier, meaning it will be easier for him to restrain himself. However, such restraint only stops his rampage and does not make it possible for properly communicate with him.Fate/Grand Order material II — Profile of Caligula, translated by Kinalvin at Reddit.
A+ 	Kingprotea
A+ 	Protea, as a giant whose existence poses a threat to the world regardless of her rapport with humans, finds it impossible to align her values with those of humans on a fundamental level. This means that Protea perceives herself as not being large or powerful, but she considers the world and her surroundings to be small and weak in comparison to her. It is a way of viewing her own size and strength in a relative context, downplaying her own significance and emphasizing the insignificance of her surroundings.

D 	Ibaraki-douji (Swimsuit)

E 	Nitocris Alter
E 	Nitocris Alter does hold madness within her, but possesses more than enough reason to carry through with the same kind of premeditated crimes as the ones from her legend. This Skill causes no defect in her ability to reason or communicate, and the effect it has on her stats is extremely minimal. 
Ordinarily this is the Class Skill of Berserkers. Heroic Spirit Nitocris is an avenger without vengefulness, and would ordinarily never be summoned as a genuine Avenger. However, if for some peculiar reason there was a situation in which she was established with an Alter Saint Graph, Nitocris would be able to be summoned as a unique Avenger possessing the Class Skills of a Berserker, but only then. — Profile of Nitocris Alter, translated by Petrikow at Beast's Lair.
