Lost Ark is a new MMO role-playing game where players can choose from many characters from SIX classes and play with them. Each class offers a different and unique playstyle from others. In this guide, we will be talking about the Berserker advanced class in Lost Ark. We will recommend the best skills, engravings, and more in this guide.
Lost Ark Berserker Class
Berserker is a Melee character from the Warrior Class in Lost Ark. It is one of the heavy hitters of the game, which focuses on Area on Effect attacks. In addition, berserker comes equipped with a heavy sword that deals huge damage to multiple enemies.
Berserker Strengths and Weaknesses
Berserker is one of the most popular classes in Lost Ark, but it has its Pros and Cons.
Strengths
- Easy to master.
- Deals massive damage to nearby enemies.
- Works great in PvE mode.
Weaknesses
- It takes a long time to perform an attack.
- Longer Cooldowns on attacks.
- Struggles in ranged combat.
Berserker Identity Skill
Like other classes, Berserker has an Identity Skill that lets it enter into a rage mode when the Berserker Meter fills up. Berserker deals more damage than usual in this stance, but its health is reduced by 75%.
The health doesn’t matter at that stage, as you are blindly and viciously attacking any enemy that comes in your way.
To fill up the Berserker Meter, you only need to keep killing as many enemies as you can by using simple or skill attacks.
Best Berserker Engravings
Engravings provide buffs to your character abilities like increased damage or a higher crit chance. Engravings can only be unlocked after getting to the end of the game.
Below are the Engravings available for Berserker:
- Mayhem is a popular Berserker Engraving that keeps your character in Rage Mode. As a result, you deal 4% increased damage on Level 1, 9% at Level 2, and 18% at Level 3. In addition, there is a 15% increase in Attack and Movement Speed, along with a reduction in Max Health to 25%.

Best Berserker Skills and Tripods
The following are the most common Berserker Skills to use in PvE and PvP mode along with the Tripods to use for each skill:
Execution
Deals a massive amount of physical damage in one blow to the enemy, with a chance to kill smaller enemies with one hit.
Use the Enhanced Attack, Find Weakness, and Confirm Dead tripods with this skill.
Enhanced Attack increases damage done by 20% with a 0.5 sec slower cast time. Find Weakness increases the skill damage by 40% to enemies that are immune to stun and knockback.
Confirm Dead adds a combo attack to the skill. The second blow will now deal 150% damage but with a 6 seconds cooldown to the skill.
Shoulder Charge

Shield Effect and Smash are the two recommended tripods to use with this skill. Shield Effect adds a shield to the skill that absorbs 15% damage and lasts for 5 seconds. Smash adds a finishing attack that deals 100% damage and knocks down enemies.
Tempest Slash
Charges 4 meters ahead and sends enemies flying off in the air. Find Weakness, Raging Storm, and Quickly Prepare are the recommended tripods.
Find Weakness increases the skill damage by 40% to enemies that are immune to stun and knockback. Raging Storm removes the charge and adds a jump where you will spin three times. This increases the skill damage by 60%.
Quickly Prepare greatly reduces the skill cooldown by 5 seconds.
