Berserker is one of the fifteen advanced job classes available to the players of Heroica RPG after they reach level 15. It is available only to original barbarians and knights, and combines the power and the defense of those two with their own fury.
These wild warriors lose themselves completely in a battle.

- Weapons: Berserkers can wield anything suitable for a barbarian or a knight.

- EXTRA CRITICAL FURIOUS HIT: The berserker attacks the target with strength equal to three times their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 10 x 3 + Level 15 = 45 damage) The berserker cannot change targets until the chosen target is defeated.
