Phoning it in

Shit just got real at work, and will probably remain real for two-three weeks. Until then, I'll be doing what I can. Ran out of time to finish the Metalurgist, so I'll cover a character I finished a while ago, and never covered.

Meet the Berserker


This guy is a bit fragile like the monk. Perhaps if he wore some actual armor, he might survive a little longer. Unlike the monk, The Berserker isn't just a glass cannon. He is best getting into a tight grouping of enemies and hitting several at a time. He's one of the fastest characters, and can easily make himself faster.
  • His first attack is a common attack, take a wide slice with his sword. This hits up to three guy in front of him.
  • His second attack whirls the sword around, hitting everyone nearby.
  • He can get himself angry. He pushes through the pain and gets an attack buff. Effectivly it heals him and gives an attack bonus.
  • He can sprint. This gives him a speed boost.
You might think that like a berserker he should use his speed to charge in and hit before the opponent is ready. Usually this is not the best idea. He's fragile, and without any support it's a pointless suicide run. (Found that out by experience, seemed like a good idea at the time.) It turns out that a good strategy with him is to position himself where he can hit multiple enemies. When they turn on him, sprint out and recover for bit.
