  1. 01SetupPrepare group coverage

    Build adrenaline with your weapon sequence, then enter Berserk only when the target will remain available.

  2. 02CommitStabilize the pressure window

    Use the Berserk burst skills through the stable damage window and spend Blood Reckoning to extend a clean burst, not to recover a failed one.

    Blood Reckoning›Head Butt›Berserker skill 4    Commit only on a stable boss
  3. 03ResetHold the recovery tool

    Reserve Head Butt or another control tool for a scheduled breakbar when the encounter requires it.
