Blood Pact Berserker Warrior
WarriorAn endgame Dark Arisen greatsword Warrior built around Blood Pact, the vocation's new master skill. Once Blood Pact awakens, weapon skills charge instantly and Chain of Blows ignores timing, so charged Indomitable Lashes and Mighty Sweep chains come out at a frightening pace. The gear exists to keep that state alive: doubled max Health, slowed loss gauge buildup, and Stamina returned on every basic hit.
Damage
Highest of any vocation while Blood Pact is awakened. Instant full-charge skills
Survivability
Glass cannon. Doubled Health pool offsets constant loss gauge drain
Boss
Shreds dragon limbs and Satanachia on Hard mode
Warrior
Warrior is the greatsword and warhammer vocation, built around slow, heavy swings that stagger and topple large monsters. Dark Arisen gives it Blood Pact, a master skill that turns the vocation into a fast, frenzied damage dealer.
Relic greatsword and the centerpiece of the build. Every appraisal rolls different stats and Special Skills, so you are farming for the right combination rather than a fixed item. The Majestic prefix widens the stat range, and the showcased roll reaches 2,026 Strength.
Target Rolls
- ▸Tidal Rage— Upgrades Tidal Wrath into its strongest form: more counter strikes, cheaper Stamina cost, and a wider window to trigger the i-frame counter.Wiki
- ▸Aggressive Recovery— Dealing damage has a chance to restore Health. One of the best sustain rolls available for a build that bleeds Health constantly.
- ▸Battle Frenzy IV— Sharply raises damage dealt and damage taken. A big damage boost that leans harder into the berserker style, but getting hit hurts a lot more, so it is not for everyone.
- ▸Mighty Chain— Mighty Sweep hits harder and chains more readily when Chain of Blows is learned. Mighty Sweep becomes the bulk of your damage once Blood Pact is running.
How to Obtain
Relic helm. The stats matter less than the pairing of Adventurous Appetite and Carnivore, which lets you eat rotten meat safely and then swing without spending Stamina for a short time.
Target Rolls
- ▸Adventurous Appetite— Immunity to poison from food, and some items heal you plus nearby party members a little. Makes Rotten Beast-Steak a free snack.
- ▸Carnivore— Eating meat briefly stops Stamina consumption. Pair with Adventurous Appetite and rotten meat for a free Stamina window.
How to Obtain
Halves your Stamina but doubles your Health. Blood Pact steadily drains your max Health through the loss gauge, so a 7,000 HP pool lasts far longer than a 3,500 one.
How to Obtain
Normally restores a little Health and inflicts Blighted. With Adventurous Appetite the poison is ignored, and Carnivore then pauses Stamina use for a short time after you eat it.
How to Obtain
Combat Strategy
- ▸Run two support pawns so heals and Stamina buffs keep flowing while Blood Pact drains you.
- ▸Carry Rotten Beast-Steak, Fungal Cure-Alls, and a few Allheal Elixirs.
- ▸Equip Ring of Inversion before the fight so the doubled Health pool is in place when the loss gauge starts building.
- ▸Raise Blood Pact and fight normally until the aura is full, then trigger it again to awaken.
- ▸Lean on Mighty Sweep chains while awakened. Chain of Blows ignores timing, and Mighty Chain makes every hit land harder.
- ▸Fire fully charged Indomitable Lashes back to back, since Blood Pact charges them instantly.
- ▸Brace with Tidal Rage against big telegraphed attacks to counter through them with invincibility frames.
- ▸Eat Rotten Beast-Steak when Stamina runs low. Adventurous Appetite blocks the poison and Carnivore pauses Stamina use.
- ▸Pop a Fungal Cure-All when the loss gauge eats too much of your max Health.
- ▸If Stamina hits zero, Blood Pact drops and you have to charge it back up. Avoid that mid-fight whenever possible.
- ▸Dragons are the hardest matchup. Carve through the limbs quickly, then use Heavenward Sunder to hit the wings when it takes off.
- ▸Use Inspirit to shake off sleep against Death instead of opening the inventory.
- ▸Finish with the instant Arc of Might once the boss is nearly dead, since it ends Blood Pact.
