... Read moreWatching my 'For Honor: Rewind 139' clip really got me hyped up about playing Berserker again, and it made me think about what makes this hero so incredibly fun and, frankly, 'nutty' to play! If you're looking to dominate with those dual axes, let me share some personal insights I've picked up over countless hours in the game. First off, the Berserker is all about relentless aggression and unpredictability. You're a whirlwind of blades, and your biggest strength is your hyper armor. Don't be afraid to trade hits, especially during your heavy attacks, as this allows you to power through enemy attacks and land your own. It's a high-risk, high-reward playstyle, but when it clicks, it feels incredibly satisfying to see opponents crumble under your onslaught. One of my absolute favorite mechanics as a Berserker is the deflect. In my Rewind 139, you might have seen a few of those 'nice deflects' that completely turn the tide of a fight. Mastering the timing of these can be tricky, but landing one allows for a powerful counter-attack, often leading to a quick 'execution' or at least significant damage. Practice those deflects in the training arena; they're a game-changer! Pair your deflects with feints to mess with your opponent's guard and open them up for your quick lights or hyper-armored heavies. Getting 'nutty on zerk' often means constantly mixing up your attacks. Beyond duels, Berserker is fantastic for objective play. You're fast enough to rotate between 'contested' zones and can clear minion lanes efficiently. Securing a 'capture' point and holding it, especially when 'boosted,' can rack up significant 'renown' and contribute massively to your team's score. I've had so many matches where my team was 'breaking,' but by 'standing and fighting' on a critical point, we managed to turn the game around. It's not just about flashy kills; contributing to objectives is paramount for success. For feats, I usually lean into abilities that enhance my survivability or damage output, like Battle Cry or Berserker's Rage, which can be lifesavers in those intense team fights. As for gear perks, anything that boosts revenge gain or damage reduction can make you an unstoppable force once you get going. Ultimately, playing Berserker is about embracing the chaos. Be aggressive, be unpredictable, and don't be afraid to take risks. That moment when you land a series of successful feints, dodges, and a 'nice deflect' that leads to a game-winning 'execution' – that's what keeps me coming back.
