Preface

Berserk derives its power from pure adrenaline and rage, increasing the user's combat capability the lower their health gets. When the user hit a certain percentage of health, their body or eyes will exude a faint red glow as they enter the berserk mode. While berserking, the user will become numbed to pain, allowing them to focus on combat. In addition, they will physically grow stronger, or perform actions faster, giving them more damage capability.

Increasing Berserk will increase one's threshold for pain, eventually ignoring it altogether. Although berserk is best used by a melee fighter, its effect can be great for magic users as well, as it allows them to concentrate on casting spells without being distracted by pain. They also benefit from the increased action speed.

Passive Mechanics

Increased Speed The user perform his or her action more quickly.
Raging Strength Rage allows the user to hit harder.
Pain Tolerance This allows the user to tolerate a lot of pain and replace it with a numb, albeit seemingly burning sensation.
Battle Focus This mastery gives the user more control over their character in highly stressful and distracting situations, allowing them to focus on the fight at hand. This also helps magic caster concentrate while casting their spells.
