Berserkers are a heroic era special melee infantry unit.

In-Game Description

Berserkers are fearsome warriors, noteworthy for entering into trances before battle by consuming particular plants unique to their land. When the fighting begins they are almost suicidally brave, each man striving to outdo his comrade in ever more desperate displays of courage. Berserkers carry two axes, eschewing shields as being unworthy of a warrior who seeks to live forever in Valhalla.

Acquisition

Berserkers can be unlocked via the Season VII: Wolves of Ragnarok seasonal challenges. As the season's heroic era unit, Berserkers require the Sons of Fenrir to be unlocked (i.e. stage 2 of the Sons of Fenrir seasonal challenges completed) before progress can be made on their seasonal challenges.

Unit Traits

Trait	In-Game Description
▲ [Rage]	This unit builds up Rage by fighting, which then powers its other skills.
▲ [Frenzy]	Berserkers can go into a frenzied state if they are in combat long enough. This greatly enhances their attributes, but renders them uncontrollable.
▲ [Battle Madness]	Each time the Berserkers launch an attack, their slashing damage is increased by 20 points and their damage resistance is increased by 6%. This effect lasts 4.5 seconds and can stack up to 10 times. Upon reaching a stack of 10, the Berserkers recover health.
▼ [Combat Penalty vs Heroes]	Damage dealt to heroes by this unit while berserk reduced by 30%.

Formations

Formation	In-Game Description
Dispersed	The unit stands in a loose formation to lessen the impact of enemy ranged attacks.
Line	The unit forms two lines, ideal for launching attacks.

Note that in their in-game description pages, Berserkers have a third formation (also named Dispersed), but in battle this formation is not present.

Unit Orders

Odin's Charge

Cooldown: 35s

The Berserkers charge with their axes. During their charge, damage taken from units is reduced, and Berserkers get 4 stacks of Rage.

Berserker Assault

Cooldown: 2s

The Berserkers swing their axes quickly, immediately getting 4 stacks of Battle Madness. Also consumes a small amount of Rage to inflict an area attack on nearby enemies.

Frenzy

Cooldown: None

Using this skill restores 4500 health to each warrior in the unit. When Frenzied, the unit inflicts 50% more damage, takes 43% more damage, and is immune to crowd control debuffs, but cannot be given orders. This effect lasts for 5 seconds.
