Usage

Damage

  • Use and off cooldown
  • This build does not have an actual rotation due to its skills having no real loop. Instead, it features a priority of skills:
  • + to open fights, and throughout the fight to maintain
  • Longbow: aim to use 2-3 times, depending on if is up or not, and twice. Use and off cooldown
  • Sword: aim to use 2-3 times, depending on if is up or not. Use and off cooldown. Use directly after for the Fire Aura, which is especially useful against groups of enemies. Against foes under 50% HP, use off cooldown.


Defense

  • blocks attacks and reflects projectiles.
  • can be used to blind enemies.
  • Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible. Don't get hit by anything you can move out of.

Video Examples

Trailblazer Zerk vs Razorwing

  • Though the mechanical play is a bit shoddy here, this is a good demonstration of the fact that this build can actually compete with some other solo options.

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.
