Command Ability Setup

Best Commands
Blood Weapon (Marauder Ability)	Lunatic	Swayback (Lancer Ability)

• Blood Weapon: A solid command ability that provides a bit of sustain by maintaining the offensive. Blood Weapon lets you regain HP based on damage dealt during its buff duration, which synergizes extremely well with the Berserker's aggressive playstyle.
• Lunatic: Arguably the linchpin of the entire build. Lunatic greatly increases attack speed at the cost of disabling auto-break gauge regeneration. The buff includes charge times of every attack, making it an extremely important ability for Berserkers. The increased attack speed also results in faster MP regeneration through attacks, allowing you to activate your abilities more often.
• Swayback: Swayback is a defensive command ability that regenerates break gauge upon activation. The break gauge regeneration goes through Lunatic's restriction, allowing you to pop Soul Shields with little worry and ensures that Lunatic maximizes its buff duration.

Passive and Effect Priorities

Best Passives and Effects
Brutal Axe	Arcane Axe	Physical Damage +3.7%

• Brutal Axe: Brutal Axe increases the physical damage dealt of your Link 3's combo ability. This turns a fully charged Brutal Tackle into one of the most devastating damage abilities in the game when used during Lunatic's duration.
• Arcane Axe: This Ability Effect lets you refill your break gauage through your Link 1 combo ability, turning Cyclone Rush into an efficient combo ability for maintaining the offensive and Lunatic's buff duration at the same.
• Physical Damage +3.7%: It's better to nice to keep things simple sometimes. This straightforward passive increases the damage of every attack in your arsenal, improving the overall effectiveness of the build.

Recommended Equipment Effects

An aggressive job deserves aggressive equipment effects! This effect setup ensures that your damage maintains an optimal level regardless of the target. MP Regeneration through normal attacks and Soul Shields results in increased DPS as well, as they allow you to activate combo and command abilities more often.

Best Job Synergies and Pairings

Dragoon

Dragoon	Available Weapon(s)	Shield?
	Greatsword Lance Axe	Cannot use shields
Basic Info	The Dragoon is a master of evasion and heavy damage. This job class allows you to jump high in the air to evade enemy attacks and then land on the enemy dealing greater damage.

Dragoon and Berserker's playstyles are almost identical, as they both thrive on ramped up aggression and taking the fight to their enemies. This makes them a natural pair, with combo transitions that are almost seemless because of Lunatic's attack speed buff.

Samurai

Samurai	Available Weapon(s)	Shield?
	Katana	Cannot use shields
Basic Info	The Samurai is the refined version of the Ronin. This job has access to the Meikyo-shisui, an ability that greatly increases the MP recovered from normal attacks and also restores MP when parrying.

Samurai's efficiency at regenerating MP through combat is a great compliment to our Berserker build. Similar to Dragoon, transitioning between both classes after combo abilities is seemless as long as Lunatic is up.
