Advanced Berserker tips

## ***Beginners:***

The Berserker is an interesting character. With 150 HP points, the Berserker is not a light character like the Hunter, with 120 HP or a heavy character like the Warrior, with 180 HP. The Berserker maintains this middle ground in it's abilities as well, being the only class that has both Melee and Ranged attacks. The Berserker is a hard character to play, and is easy to use wrong. Some people like his axe swings more, some people like his axe throw. Mostly it depends on what type of attack you like more. A good tip for Berserker is that clicking Left Click twice will result in a faster axe swing. When you click Left Click once, you swing his axe from the right to the left. If you don't do anything after that, there is a short period when the Berserker moves the axe back to its original position. If you click twice, however, he swings the axe back to the original position as an attack instead of just moving it. This results in a faster series of attacks and can kill a Hunter or Berserker easily.

The Berserker has the strongest attack in the game, his axe throw is capable of doing up to 200 damage with a headshot, one shotting every class. You throw it by holding down Right Click and then pressing Left Click. Therefore, one of the biggest strategies for Berserker is learning to use his axe throw. When he uses it, the axe curves downward the longer it is in the air, so you have to adjust for that when aiming it. Over time, you will get accustomed to it and be able to aim without thinking about it to much. It will become a sort of instinct. Using this attack drains your stamina pretty quick, using up a lot of it when you throw it, so it is important to be able to throw your axe, and then run in to get the finish off the kill.

The Berserker has 3 melee attacks, and they are all very unique. When you hold Left Click, he charges up a spin attack, where he spins his axe around him in a full circle. It does have a bit of ending lag at the end, so it is sometimes a little hard to follow it up with a different attack. This attack is most useful on Warriors and Archers, because Archers tend to jump around a lot so it's important to cover all angles with an attack. The spin attack does so in a very useful way and has gotten me out of some tight situations. It is also very good against Warriors because the angle of the attack usually goes behind their shield.

Alternatively, it is very very useful when surrounded by people and when you are at the gold chest. In both situations, you are most likely in a small area surrounded by other players or Gold Guards. The Spin attack is very useful at hitting more than one opponent. It also does a decent amount of damage, making it one of the Berserker's better moves.

On to his last move, the axe boost. When you jump into the air and hold Left Click, the Berserker will slam into the ground with his axe, doing 85 damage to your opponent. Using this attack is vital to becoming a Berserker Master, because this attack is impossible to block with the Warriors shield and has a pretty good range. You can take out any class in 2 hits, and it is very easy to perform.

One thing I like to do is using his regular attacks mid-air. Whenever I jump, I usually follow it with a mid-air attack, because it is pretty easy to land them with the Berserker's range. The Berserker has a ton of range on all of his moves, and if you use them right, you can easily take out entire teams. However, the Berserker is more geared towards kills, and holding onto gold is not a skill most Berserker players have. You see, Berserker is the only class with both melee and ranged attacks, therefore making him a very good kill-based character. If you are playing with a friend, usually it is a good idea to give the gold to the Warrior of the team, as they have the most health and have a shield.
