How Berserker is performing now
General weapon scaling
Your Weapon Damage increases as you take sustained damage.
Berserker functions as general weapon scaling within the Weapon shop. The strategic value is converting reliable weapon contact into a stronger damage breakpoint. Because it is a core mid-to-late purchase, the right comparison is the fight pattern it unlocks versus the other purchases that the same 3,200 souls could complete.
When Berserker belongs in the build
- Weapon damage is a primary part of your contribution rather than incidental chip damage.
- You can maintain line of sight and safely take enough shots to use the investment.
- The purchase arrives before the enemy's next defensive breakpoint.
- Abilities, utility, or survival determine your fights more than weapon contact.
- Enemy positioning denies sustained line of sight.
- A matchup-specific counter item would prevent more damage than another offensive purchase creates.
Timing, movement, and hero fit
Berserker is a core mid-to-late purchase at 3,200 souls. Judge it against the next fight and the purchases it delays, not only against its isolated tooltip value.
