Strategy
Tips
- Equip the Berserk Boots and Berserk Cape to maximize mobility speed.
- Sneak up behind the enemy then attack him/her with it.
- Use this weapon at close quarters engagements, because this is a weapon that requires being up close to the target.
- In melee versus melee combat in a choke point, it is recommended to move forward while in the swinging animation and move back. This allows for multiple enemies to be hit and you can't be chased as there is a high chance someone was behind you and could be finished off.
- Attack the head for maximum damage.
- Strafe around enemies while holding down the melee button to maximize the efficiency and killing speed.
- Use the shockwave or the
attribute from this weapon in a group, or when you are surrounded by enemies. - If you hit an enemy for the first time right as you die, you will respawn with the shockwave ready.
- Use this to counter fast and mobile enemies to make them easier to deal with.
- Due to its slower swing speed, try to keep your distance from other fast swinging melee weapons. Only charge in to attack, the pull out.
Counters
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
- Use the Reflector (gadget) so he will be less interested in hitting you.
- Area damage and shotgun weapons decimate its users.
- When caught in a melee battle, try striking the user first, backpedal, then strike again until the user dies.
- Stay out of range from a user of this weapon to prevent taking damage. Try engaging the user with a Primary weapon at medium range.
- Try attacking the user when the shockwave isn't activated yet to prevent taking further damage.
- Try running and jumping while attacking to avoid getting hit by the user's attacks, especially from the area damage attacks.
