Berserker



The Berserker is a Strand-based Titan subclass featured in the Lightfall expansion in Destiny 2.

Lore
Berserker

''She hears the sharp sound of small rocks grinding beneath her boots. Vibrant, pulsating green drips down her arms and morphs into sharp blades that can rip through armor with ease.''

''Her body is her own, each breath extends not only to her lungs but also to every muscle. In the past, she used it while meditating. Now, it's for preparation. The anticipation between the ticks of the second hand from an old Earth clock.''

''The scent of sweat reaches her from fifty paces away; it comes in bursts of gruesome vibrance. Her enemy reeks of hubris, impatience, and not enough fear for her taste. Would she allow a snarl to escape her lips?''

One final anticipatory breath.

She lunges.

Super

 * Bladefury: Create claws out of Strand. While your super is active:
 * Light Attack: Swing the claws to sever targets. Killing targets with a light attack increases the speed of the next attack and builds up energy for a heavy attack.
 * Heavy Attack: Perform an uppercut attack that suspends target caught in the shockwave's path with your claws.

Grenades

 * Grapple: Weave a grappling hook, and quickly pull yourself forward. Grappling to a Tangle immediately recharges your grenade energy. During and shortly after grappling, your melee attack deals area damage and unravels targets.
 * Threadling Grenade: A woven projectile that reweaves itself into Threadlings while in flight.
 * Shackle Grenade: A thrown weapon of weighted Strand matter that detonates on impact, suspending targets and creating additional suspending subprojectiles.

Melee

 * Frenzied Blade: Unleash claws that severs targets. Can be used up to 3 times.

Movement

 * Catapult Lift: Jump while airborne to activate Lift and launch into the air with a strong initial burst of momentum.
 * High Lift: Jump while airborne to activate Lift and launch into the air to greater heights.
 * Strafe Lift: Jump while airborne to activate Lift and launch into the air with strong directional control.

Class Abilities

 * Towering Barricade: Create a large barrier that can be used to reinforce a position with cover from enemy fire.
 * Rally Barricade: Create a small barrier that you can peek over while aiming down sights and that increases reload speed for your equipped when you stand behind it.

Aspects

Yours will not share its fate.): While sliding, activate your charged melee ability to leap into the air, knocking nearby targets away and dealing damage. While airborne, activate your charged melee again to launch a cluster of damaging, unraveling projectiles. Repeatedly activating melee will chain additional throws. Fragment Slots (2)
