Is Frenzy Worth It?

Skill Ranking A Rank Icon

Frenzy is worth investing points into

This skill is very cheap and easy to obtain since it requires no additional investment to unlock. The effect of this skill can save you from getting stunned when the enemy is going to counterattack you.

A good strategy to make good use of this skill is to pair it with a decoction. Having an active decoction will give you a Toxicity offset which will not expire untill you meditate or an event causes time to pass in the game. With this strategy the effect of this skill will always be active whenever an enemy counterattacks you.

Conclusion

You should invest in this skill if you want to safely dodge away from an enemy's counterattack while keeping constant aggression on them. The effect you gain from the skill considering its cheap cost is definitely worth it.
