Starlitjupiter gave this build 5 stars • March 2023
Condi Berserker is one of the strongest zerg farming builds in the game due to its extremely high area damage and CC. With party support, this build is able to lay down extremely high AOE thanks to Longbow F1 while also retaining very good single-target damage, which makes it incredible at clearing trash mobs and at fighting bosses. It deals good damage from range when needed but should typically be played in melee when possible. The build isn't fantastic at solo play, as it can be quite squishy, but when it comes to group farming it's easily S+ Tier.
