Tutorial:Berserk Guide

Berserkers are a class in SkyBlock Dungeons. They rely heavily on and  for damage. Whether you are doing Dungeons or Bosses, this tutorial can teach you how to become an efficient berserker.

Most of this tips also apply to Left Click Mage, a sub-class of Mage specializing on using the mage beam as a primary form of dealing damage.

Recommended Weapons
These weapons are required or heavily recommended when playing as a Berserker. These often have requirements such as a high Catacombs level or level. As such, it is not recommended to become a berserker during the early and mid-game.
 * Aspect of the End/Raider Axe - Interchangeable but both these weapons prove to be efficient and useful due to their low cost and can deal good damage in the entrance floor if you're interested in running berserker. The Aspect of the End's teleportation can get you out of problematic situations, which will prove extremely helpful in all floors. However you may want to wait until mid-game until doing dungeons. Aspect of the end can rival aspect of the dragons if it is warped, and if you use strong dragon while it is warped it is great plus being able to teleport. Raider's Axe is slightly more damage normally if it is not warped and you are not using strong. An AOTE is approximately 140k coins to buy, and a raider axe is exactly 130k from the viking.
 * Aspect of the Dragons - The best early-game sword, this weapon surpasses the Pigman Sword, Tactician's Sword and Leaping Sword in damage while being a significantly more viable blade because of it's relatively low cost(~). Being only a little worse than a 50 mil Midas, this sword is viable in the start of Dungeons up to Floor 1. With strong or superior this sword is great for melee damage for all classes, however if it is the only choice for combat is recommended to play as a Berserker for its melee-centered class buffs.
 * Adaptive Blade - This weapon is a viable early-game Dungeon weapon, as it is affected by Dungeon scaling giving it high stats in Dungeons, and has a very reasonable price costing typically around on the Auction House. It is obtained from a Floor 2 Obsidian Chest.
 * Spirit Sword - A Spirit Sword is a Berserker weapon that should be used often due to its high damage, as well as being relatively cheap. It also lets you use it when you are dead. However, other weapons like the Flower of Truth and the Livid Dagger outclass it heavily in usefulness, so it is worth upgrading to them when the player can afford it. The price varies from 2-3m coins on the Auction House, and is obtained from Floor 4 Obsidian Chests.
 * Hyper Cleaver/Super Cleaver - While a Hyper Cleaver isn't the best for single-target hits, the Hyper Cleaver or Super Cleaver is not a bad pick for attacking a group of mobs. There are many situations in which you will have to attack a large group of mobs, such as during the Thorn boss fight or just generally clearing out rooms. The hyper cleaver is 800k from the npc, and the super cleaver is 80k, but the hyper cleaver is 30 more strength and 60 more damage stat.
 * Livid Dagger - A powerful sword that has 100% and 100%, removing the need for optimizing them. This sword also deals double damage when backstabbing enemies and right clicking will throw the sword in front of you, dealing melee damage if it strikes something. This is a fairly popular weapon.
 * Giant Sword - Provides the highest damage buff of any sword in the game in exchange for no . It also has an ability that allows you to deal massive damage in a huge area around you, sort of like an upgraded Golem Sword. It is recommended to put One For All on this sword.
 * Flower of Truth - Grants the highest buff of any weapon in the game and its ability allows you to deal ranged damage, allowing you to stay away from potential danger and clear rooms faster. This weapon is also useful, for example during the Terracotta phase in Floor VI, because life steal workHeat-Seeking Rose" ability. This is considered a very good berserker weapon.
 * Valkyrie: The most powerful sword in the game for melee damage and the best sword in the game for the Berserker class, this sword is like a Flower of Truth and Giant Sword in one, granting high amounts of both. However, this sword is very expensive and should only be bought in the endgame.

Recommended Armor Sets
These armor sets either provide lots of or abilities that help you out as a Berserker.


 * Strong Dragon Armor - Strong Dragon Armor is a somewhat cheap set that can be used on low floors that also buffs the AOTE. Players often use the Tarantula Helmet giving 1 crit damage per 10 strength(caps at 1000 strength and 100 Crit damage with this set.
 * Zombie Soldier Armor - While the Zombie Soldier Armor is more geared to be for a tank, the Fierce or Pure reforges will provide a decent amount of health and additional damage, making up for its tank orientation.
 * Adaptive Armor ​- Adaptive Armor provides you with all-round stats bonus and allows you to increase your damage significantly​, whilst being extremely cheap. Adaptive Armor after being upgraded is actually better than Superior Dragon Armor.
 * Zombie Knight Armor​ - Zombie Knight Armor gives you more defense and health than the armor below, which improves your survivability in the dungeons. The set also gives you a very good amount of strength. This set along with the Adaptive Armor set are probably the best armor sets you can go for a budget berserker setup.
 * Shadow Assassin Armor - With the full set bonus, you're able to gain stacking Strength for the rest of the Dungeon run. Each piece also grants bonuses after using a sword with teleporting ability such as Aspect of the End or Shadow Fury. Currently, this set is considered to be one of the best sets for berserker, although it has low defense because the armor set allows for a really high damage, this set is the second best set for the Berserker class, granting marginally less stats than the best Berserker armor in the game, Necron's Armor.
 * Note: the Shadow Assassin chestplate can be replaced with a Zombie Knight chestplate if you cannot afford the full set.


 * Frozen Blaze Armor - Frozen Blaze Armor is a good armor set to pair up with the Blaze Pet​. If you were already using the Frozen Blaze Armor originally, you should be able to have a good time in dungeons. It is also a good idea if you are rich, to 5 star it. (Note: only Dungeon Frozen Blaze Armor is recommended with or above). In price frozen blaze is cheaper than superior dragon. It also deals damage to nearby enemies automatically. (do not rely on this for combat though) You should hot potato this if you are using the blaze pet.
 * Necromancer Lord Armor - Necromancer Lord Armor grants the user a decent amount of Effective Health, especially for its relatively low cost compared to other berserker armor sets. Its base stats include no Crit Damage or Strength so it will not boost damage, making it useless in combat unless you reforge to ancient or other damage reforge.
 * Necron's Armor - Necron's armor is heavily geared towards the Berserker class granting a large amount of Strength and Crit Damage. Wearing it also grants decent survivability. Necron's Armor is the most expensive and most powerful berserker set in the game, making it an endgame armor set, thus not recommended for new players. Its overall stats are only slightly better than Shadow assassin. It is still recommended to purchase the set, as it is arguably the best armor set in the game for damage overall in Dungeons and melee damage outside, if you can afford it. Its full set bonus "Witherborn" spawns a detonating wither to aid you, providing additional damage.

Recommended Pets
Having a good berserker pet can greatly improve your berserker abilities. These are some recommended ones.
 * Wither Skeleton Pet - The Wither Skeleton Pet provides you with some decent damage stats​. The legendary version of this pet is highly recommended as the ability of the pet that lets you deal additional wither damage. The high amount of wither damage will boost your damage by quite a lot. It is also helpful on Floor VII's boss fight.
 * Ender Dragon Pet - It is the most expensive and theoretically most powerful pet for now. It is especially good to pair it up with an Aspect of the Dragon​s. The version is better than the  version as the legendary Ender Dragon Pet provides you with a percentage boost in all your stats.
 * Blaze Pet - This pet is really only viable when you pair it up with the Frozen Blaze Armor​. It boosts the armor and also doubles the effect of hot potato books.
 * Tiger Pet - The Tiger Pet is relatively cheap in comparison to the Ender Dragon Pet, and its stats and abilities are quite effective in dungeons. Ferocity in particular is very useful against Thorn, allowing one to deal more damage to the boss than normal. This pet is easily obtained from Oringo.
 * Baby Yeti Pet - While it may provide poor stats, it's Ice Shields ability converts your Strength into Defense. When combined with Flower of Truth with the Withered Reforge, it can boost your defense by up to 1,000!
 * Griffin Pet - This pet provides overall good stats and people often use it for the uncommon ability, Legendary Constitution, since potion effects are paused in dungeons. Also this is paired with the pet item, Minos Relic, it can do decent damage.
 * Blue Whale Pet - This is a really good pet to increase and  for berserks who would need more survivability.

Recommended Reforges

 * Reforging all your talismans to Forceful(Normal Reforaging)/Silky (from luxurious spool)/Strong(Normal reforge)/Shaded(Dark Orb) provides a massive and  boost that greatly improves your abilities. Bloody increases your . Currently, a well known reforge loadout used by Berserkers is to use the shaded reforge given by the Dark Orb reforge stone for common, uncommon, and rare accessories. Then use between  and.
 * Armor reforges
 * Ancient (Precursur Gear) This is one of the best reforge for damage in the game for armor as it provides a lot of strength and crit damage.
 * Giant (Giant tooth) This reforge is great for people who need higher EHP and survivability as it provides high amounts of Health.
