The '''Berserker''' (バーサーカー, ''Baasaakaa'') class is a class of strong axe-wielders who can cross seas. Usually they are the promoted form of [[pirate]]s. In {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, they are an enemy-only class that uses swords; only one berserker is seen in the whole game. In {{title|Thracia 776}} they are still enemy-only, although they do use axes. From {{title|The Binding Blade}}, they became playable as upgraded pirates and have remained so for future games. In {{title|Path of Radiance}}, they are the promoted form of [[bandit]]s.
The '''Berserker''' (Japanese: {{hover|バーサーカー|Bāsākā}} ''Berserker'') is an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced]] infantry [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE3}}. They originated there as an [[:Category:Enemy-exclusive classes|enemy-only]] [[sword]]-using class, with their modern incarnation being properly introduced in {{title|Thracia 776}} and {{title|The Binding Blade}} as fearsome, wild [[axe]]-wielders and the [[class change|promoted]] form of numerous axe-wielding classes.


Berserkers are strong units with high attack and speed. However, like other axe users, they sometimes have below-average skill and low resistance, like other physical units. Still, they have good defense and are generally very sturdy. In the GBA games, they have a critical bonus: 30% in ''The Binding Blade'', 15% in {{title|Blazing Sword}} and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}.
In combat, Berserkers are extremely dangerous, sporting enormous [[strength]] and good [[speed]] compared to their fellow axe-wielding class, the [[Warrior]]. Despite their [[skill (stat)|skill stat]] being lacking, impacting their ability to reliably hit foes, this hides their biggest advantage: an abnormally high rate of dealing [[critical hit]]s. Most games give Berserkers massive bonuses to their critical rate or [[skills]] which improve their odds of scoring criticals under certain conditions. Berserks are also relatively frail, as despite their good [[HP|maximum HP]], their [[defense]] and [[resistance]] are below average which makes them risky to use, but rewarding if luck is in their favor. Berserkers are also well-known for their mastery of [[terrain]] which other infantry units cannot handle, with the unique ability to cross both seas and mountain peaks.
 
As a class change option, the Berserker is primarily associated with the "criminal" axe classes: [[Brigand]]s in ''The Binding Blade'', [[Pirate]]s in the five [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]] games, [[Bandit]]s in {{title|Path of Radiance}}, and [[Barbarian]]s in {{title|Awakening}}. In {{title|Fates}}, Berserkers replace [[Warrior]]s as one of the class change options for [[Fighter]]s.

Skill(s)

The Berserker (Japanese: バーサーカー Berserker) is an advanced infantry class which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. They originated there as an enemy-only sword-using class, with their modern incarnation being properly introduced in Thracia 776 and The Binding Blade as fearsome, wild axe-wielders and the promoted form of numerous axe-wielding classes.

In combat, Berserkers are extremely dangerous, sporting enormous strength and good speed compared to their fellow axe-wielding class, the Warrior. Despite their skill stat being lacking, impacting their ability to reliably hit foes, this hides their biggest advantage: an abnormally high rate of dealing critical hits. Most games give Berserkers massive bonuses to their critical rate or skills which improve their odds of scoring criticals under certain conditions. Berserks are also relatively frail, as despite their good maximum HP, their defense and resistance are below average which makes them risky to use, but rewarding if luck is in their favor. Berserkers are also well-known for their mastery of terrain which other infantry units cannot handle, with the unique ability to cross both seas and mountain peaks.

As a class change option, the Berserker is primarily associated with the "criminal" axe classes: Brigands in The Binding Blade, Pirates in the five Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS games, Bandits in Path of Radiance, and Barbarians in Awakening. In Fates, Berserkers replace Warriors as one of the class change options for Fighters.
