Make Sure to Keep Using Frenzy
Berserk Tips and Tricks
Below your health bar is a purple meter that fills up as you dish out and receive damage. This is your Frenzy Gauge. Filling it up allows you to go into a Frenzy mode that turns you into a savage on Berserk and the Band of the Hawk’s battlefields. It affects every character differently, but it essentially makes you faster and much stronger while also giving you access to Death Blows (think super moves).
This may make you want to save the meter for a boss or a challenging fight, but you’ll actually want to use it every chance you get. The reason is that when you waste it and allow it to fill up again it will gain a level. That level comes with more power and a longer lasting Frenzy. When you first start the game, the max level will be three, but by progressing through the story you’ll be able to bring that up to 5 allowing for very long chains of death and more Death Blows.
Also, the higher the level, the quicker it fills up, meaning you’ll want to have it maxed out before approaching a boss.
