Gathering Top Berserkers
Whoa. That feels so damn refreshing. Like all the stale stress just drained out of me in one go.
I hadn't been able to grief properly for days and was feeling all pent-up, but then this perfect prey wandered right into my lap and let me vent it all out.
In the end, Clara went dark after that chat: "Gather 99 Berserkers, you fucking bitch." I got the last word, so I win. Nailed the momentum shift too.
Now the real challenge: gathering 99 Berserkers.
From the pigeons' chat spam, it looks like Clara rounded up every decent Holy Knight she could find. She must've been grinding her teeth in prep.
"Ugh... She might not use AoE DPS even if she skips the AoE heal..."
Berserkers wrapped in self-harm buffs die to a single hit. Like the viewers said, if 100 Holy Knights spam AoE on self-harm buffed Berserkers? Forget 1-second wipe—the fight ends the instant skills activate.
Clara's no idiot. Hell, Rank 1 Holy Knight wouldn't be if she were. If she wipes us 100-0 with jerk-off AoE spam, the narrative becomes "See? Holy Knights are just easy-mode jerks!" So her and her Holy Knight crew will probably seal away AoE DPS.
If they use AoE? Hell yeah, thank you very much. Die carefree, then whine "jerk-off class" and done.
Which means Clara's Holy Knight posse plans to beat us Berserkers without AoE—without the "jerk-off," on pure skill.
Infuriating. Holy Knights who are corpses without jerk-off claiming they'll outskill Berserkers? That mindset alone is too goddamn cheeky.
Griefing or not, I have to win this no matter what.
Can't just recruit randos either. Even solo carrying has limits.
Truth is, even one Rank 1 Holy Knight is a heavy burden for me. To smash those vile, evil Holy Knights, I need serious Berserkers—no noobs.
Luckily, one guy comes to mind right away.
PresidentOfTheNationalBerserkerAssociation. Gotta recruit this guy no matter what. His nick screams Berserker dedication like no other. And he's the freaking president of the "National Berserker Association." Didn't even know that existed. Does it? Maybe just a joke nick.
Easy enough to ask directly.
If I snag him, maybe a few extras come along as bonus.
I fire off a whisper right away.
Look at this mindset. Perfect. Kinda embarrassing to say it myself, but my Berserker gallery guide is top-tier quality. Skill tree details, combat handling, buff/debuff mastery, status immunity training—you name it. Best guide for Berserker vets, if I do say so.
Was bummed it got buried, but at least one reader.
Likes him already.
Straight to the point: Holy Knights vs. Berserkers, 100v100. Join my team?
Self-harm practice? Exactly what it sounds like, duh. Every class needs it, but for Berserkers, every second counts. Gotta stab vital spots precisely for max self-harm buff—miss slightly, and HP drains weirdly, meaning more stabs overall. Practice minimizes buff-up time. Essential. Must-do.
I head to Lenox Village's fountain and spot PresidentOfTheNationalBerserkerAssociation. Not hard—the stab! stab! sounds echo from afar.
I approach the guy stabbing himself and say hi.
"Uh, h-hi..."
Ah. Why are all Berserker players like this? Tempted to murder him despite village no-kill penalty, but I swallow the urge and continue.
"U-um, I have a f-favor to ask..."
"Th-thank you! S-so, um, c-can your association spare a few decent guys...?"
"Uh... n-no?"
"The B-Berserker Association...?"
"Y-you're the p-president...! You said it existed earlier...!"
"..."
"Ah..."
PresidentOfTheNationalBerserkerAssociation has been killed by Seola!
Oh shit. Berserker average my ass—never trust 'em.
Thought turning on stream and pulling aggro would snag 99 decent Berserkers easy. My bad, too naive.
Panicking, I ditch shame and rant publicly.
"A-any Berserker viewers watching...? If so, whisper me! I'll g-give free Berserker lessons...!"
After that, I run village to village on foot, desperately recruiting Berserkers.
But.
No Rank 1 Berserkers. Anywhere.
