Berserker is one of the Advanced Classes available for Warrior. Armed with a giant slab of iron that he calls a sword, the Berserker’s main purpose in any battle is to wreak havoc against the enemy group using wide area-of-effect attacks and deal massive damage. Here are the Skills and Engravings you should prioritize when making PvE and PvP Berserker builds in Lost Ark.

PvE Berserker Skill Build in Lost Ark

Your primary role in PvE as a Berserker is dealing with mobs by dishing out devastating area-of-effect attacks. There are two types of PvE Skill builds that you can try out: one for the more typical and straightforward playstyle, the other if you just want to go, well, berserk:

Dungeon Raider Build

Awakening Skill: Berserk Fury: Infuse your greatsword with power to create Berserk Fury and deliver a powerful strike. You need to charge this skill to complete Berserk Fury, and the attack range and damage will become more devastating at higher charge levels.

Recommended Engravings

Permanent Rage Build

This build is from Kanima and is perfect for those who like a riskier playstyle. Thanks to the Madness/Mayhem Engraving, your health and shield won’t go over 25%, but you also gain a 65% damage reduction. On the bright side, Rage state will always be available for you, giving you a 15% critical and speed bonus. For substats, try focusing on Critical as the primary stat and Agility as the secondary.

PvP Berserker Skill Build in Lost Ark

Although Berserker is less popular in PvE, it’s not hard to build a good one that can wreck your opponents in PvP matches. However, keep in mind that you might often need hit-and-run attacks since his skills have long cooldowns, and it’s easy to stumble upon Mana issues. Here are two PvP Skill build that you can use as a template:

1v1 Me Bro Gladiator Build

Arena Fighter Build

Awakening Skill: Chain of Vengeance: Release chains of energy to inflict 111 Damage, then pull foes in again, inflicting more damage. A massive explosion occurs immediately afterward, knocking enemies away and inflicting additional damage.
