Berserker is a survival-scaling mutation which reduces damage taken by the player for a few seconds after killing an enemy with a melee attack.

Details[edit]

  • Scroll Cap: 30 Survival
  • Special Effects:
    • Grants the player a defense buff that reduces all damage they take by [5 base]% for 8 seconds after killing an enemy with a melee attack.
      • The effect can stack up to 90% with each kill granting a maximum of 20% damage reduction.
      • All stacks expire at the same time, and previous stacks don't get refreshed with a new stack.
      • Also provides stun immunity while a stack is active.

Notes[edit]

  • This mutation is useful in biomes, allowing the player to take more hits without losing a lot of health. Synergizes well with the mutation Recovery Mutation Icon.png Recovery, or a colorless Spite Sword Icon.png Spite Sword.
