General Description: If the Warrior was a class about physical power, the Berserker is simply a class of unbridled rage … and physical power. The Berserker relies almost entirely on brute force to pummel foes that face her, and she can do so very well, especially when Berserked (which provides a 10% Strength boost): with skills like Evade & Counter, Magic Counter, and Auto-Regen, it is possible to avoid a lot of damage and heal some of what you take with ease. Count the Berserk status into this and you essentially get a bit of an easier time when you control the other girls in the party. The only real flaw is that, when someone is Berserked, you cannot control them, so if you need the Berserker in a pinch, you won’t be able to use her; it’s a double-edged sword, it’s high-risk and high-reward, in essence. Whether you use it is up to you, but it is a powerful class.
