FOR HONOR: Berserker Guide


The Berserker is the Viking faction's Assassin. It's classified as a Hard to learn character, and is primarily used for CQC. The Berserker shines as a close combat harasser using Infinite Chains and numerous Chain Staters

BASIC TIPS

-When Locked, match the enemy’s Guard position to block their attack.
-The Berserker’s defense/block is only up for a short time, so timing is key.
-The Berserker’s first combo chain is called Dance of the Paired Blades. Perform a light attacked followed by a heavy attacked, or vice versa.
Remember: you can’t start or continue a chain after performing a Top Heavy Attack.
-The Berserker’s second combo is Bear Mauler, performed by chaining three Heavy Attacks in succession.
-When surrounded by enemies, perform a Zone Attack by pressing the Light Attack and Heavy Attack buttons simultaneously.
-While Sprinting, perform a Hunter’s Rush by pressing Heavy Attack.
-When locked onto an enemy, Dodge and press Light Attack to perform a Spin Chop.
-When locked onto an enemy, Dodge toward them and press Heavy Attack to perform a Head Crusher. Use this to approach enemies quickly and attack.
-Move backward while pressing Light and Heavy Attack to escape and inflict Damage at the same time.

ADVANCED TIPS

-When locked onto an enemy, Dodge in the direction of an incoming attack just before impact to deflect the attack.

-After deflecting an attack, Guard Break your enemy to Knock them down.

-The Berserker’s Forward Throw deals Stamina Damage to your enemy.

-After four or more attacks in a Chain, further attacks become uninterruptible and cost less Stamina.

-Use Feint (cancelling an attack after the animation starts) to avoid a Block and start a new Chain in a different Guard.

-The Berserker can also cancel basic Attacks with Dodges, allowing you to harass an open opponent with additional moves.

-To stay in close combat when missing an attack, cancel the recovery into a Zone Attack or a Dodge.
-Spin Chop (dodging left or right and pressing Light Attack) can start Chains. Follow up a Spin Chop with a Heavy Attack to begin a chain.

-Slashing Rush (dodging toward an enemy and pressing Heavy Attack) can also start Chains. Follow up a Slashing Rush with a Light Attack to begin a chain.

-Your Infinite Chain can be followed up by the Bear Mauler Chain (Heavy Attack, Heavy Attack, Heavy Attack.)

-Avoid delays when blocking Light Attacks by riposting with Light Attacks. This allows The Berserker to block or initiate chains with a fast attack, by IGN.

DOTA 2: Skin Creators Say Valve is Ripping Them Off

Designers who say they are able to make a living selling outfits and skins for Dota 2 say they may need to get new gigs now that they’ve noticed an unannounced change to the game’s economy affecting their bank accounts. In a post on the Dota 2 subreddit, a collective of anonymous artists alleged that Valve has not only been paying them less for items, but doing so without having properly notified them. We reached out to this collective, who agreed to discuss the issues on condition of anonymity because they fear Valve will retaliate against them. (We also reached out to Valve for comment, but did not receive a reply by publication time.) Cosmetics are an attraction for any game, letting players customize their favorite character’s appearance for a small price. In Dota 2, custom content is a marketplace, where independent artists can create sets of cosmetics and sell them. Recent changes, however, have turned what was once a thriving economy into a ho...
