Last Updated on August 21, 2024 by Samuel FranklinThis guide to the Berserker will allow you to unlock the potential of this reckless melee fighter within Gloomhaven. With an optimal build setup to balance your damage output and self inflicting damage cards this guide details your card selections, perks, enhancements and items. The Berserker (Lightning Bolts) is designed to be a character that can trade their own health to empower attacks while having many actions that change based on your current health pool that creates a tough balance for players to achieve.Table of Contents:– Berserker Cards, Perks, Enhancements and Items Overview – Berserker Cards Detailed– Berserker Perks Detailed– Berserker Enhancements Detailed– Berserker Items DetailedGloomhaven Berserker Guide OverviewIn this summary portion of the Berserker guide I provide my recommendations for a template to follow that is suited to most Gloomhaven situations. It creates a well rounded Berserker that relies on their own cards for success as much as possible to remove the variance of team composition by using a playstyle that self inflicts damage from time to time when it is to our advantage and has cards that can take advantage of the natural decreases in our health pool as a scenario progresses.Berserker Cards OverviewLevel 1: Remove Glass Hammer, Blood Pact and Resolute Stand to create your starting deck of cardsLevel 2: Break The Chains replaces From The BrinkLevel 3: Spiked Armour replaces Growing RageLevel 4: Flurry of Axes replaces Numb the PainLevel 5: Shiny Distraction (level 4 card) replaces Bounce BackLevel 6: Devil Horns replaces CauterizeLevel 7: Burning Hatred replaces Flurry of AxesLevel 8: Bone Breaker replaces Defiance of DeathLevel 9: Maw of Madness replaces Shiny DistractionBerserker Perks Priority OverviewRemove two -1 cardsReplace one -1 card with one +1 card (take twice)Remove four zerosAdd one +2 fire card (take twice)Replace one +0 card with one rolling +2 card (take twice)Add one rolling stun card (take twice)Add one rolling +1 disarm card (take twice)Add two rolling heal +1 cardsAdd two rolling wound cards (take twice)Ignore negative item effectsBerserker Enhancements Priority OverviewAdd Jump to the bottom of Spiked Armour or to the bottom of Dazing WoundAdd Attack to the top of Burning HatredAdd Wound to the top of Unbridled PowerAdd additional target to the top of Break the ChainsBerserker Items Priority OverviewMinor Stamina PotionIron HelmetCloak of InvisibilityBoots of StridingMinor Healing PotionWar HammerGloomhaven Berserker Guide DetailedThis detailed portion of the Berserker guide outlines some alternative paths for the Berserker player given this class has many great card choices.Berserker Cards DetailedThe Berserker card choices discussed here give the player a balanced character that doesn’t assume significant party support to achieve our goals of managing our health pool and damage output. This leaves plenty of room to adjust to party size and dynamics as necessary with these factors noted below in detail while also building on the reasons behind my recommendations in the overview section.Starting Cards: Like many Gloomhaven characters we have some flexibility in the starting card choices for the Berserker based on your

If you personally find yourself using one of the heavier items that add negative modifiers then consider grabbing this earlier as appropriate.Berserker Enhancements DetailedLike our card choices your Berserker enhancements are going to be informed by your ultimate selections at level ups and which cards you remove as there is some flexibility discussed in the detail card portion of the guide. With this in mind your general priority should be obtain a source of jump as this adds some great flexibility to our melee playstyle and is relatively cheap for the benefit it can provide given we already have enough base movement available from our cards.After this point the Berserker doesn’t really need anything to support but some additional base attack, additional wound and targets on our core cards are the ones that provide the best available value. Other potential options not noted in the overview section could include strengthen on the bottom of Furious Aid if you have held onto this heal until level 9 as recommended here as your team lacks adequate healing.Berserker Items DetailedFrom the starting item options the Berserker has access to several core items including the Iron Helmet, Boots of Striding and the Cloak of Invisibility. While the cloak may seem like an odd choice for a melee focused hero who usually favour the shield focused heavy armours that make use of the ignore negative item effect perks the Berserker benefits greatly from aggressive plays with Burning Hatred and Flurry of Axes before going invisible and retreating the following round which is where jump is also nice to have.Beyond this point of non starter items we want to pay attention to items that provide healing, add area of effect elements to our melee attacks or allow us to buff our attacks with extra damage.For information and build guides on other Gloomhaven character options visit our Gloomhaven classes overview and the related Gloomhaven class tier list.

Games)Although it emphasizes speed and accessibility, that doesn't mean the iconic card-based combat is gone in Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs. Each attack card still has two abilities on it for players to choose from, but this time you only have a hand of four cards overall. The battle will then be resolved "using a die in conjunction with a modifier table." Naturally, all of the above can be leveled up as you go (anyone worried that it wouldn't be a 'proper' RPG can rest easy).Buttons & Bugs has been designed by Joe Klipfel (who made a free, no-table-needed version of Gloomhaven called Gloomholdin’) and Nikki Valens, a designer who worked on Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition. It features an original campaign by Gloomhaven creator Isaac Childres as well, so dives further into the world he created. There's no release date yet for Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs, but it's hitting the Backerkit crowdfunding platform now and will apparently launch at retail for $19.99 afterward.There's been plenty of Gloomhaven-adjacent happenings recently; for starters, a Gloomhaven second edition was revealed with "fully rewritten campaign" and new reputation system. Frosthaven also arrived with backers a few months ago, and you can check out our Frosthaven first impressions here.Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more

Covering cards, build, perks, enhancements, tips and items for the Spellweaver you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to fulfil this mage archetype role. The Spellweaver is a powerful magic user that contributes to a team with fantastic ranged damage with a flair for area of effect spells, healing, utility and summons that allow for consistent damage output along with some high burst when necessary.Table of Contents:– Spellweaver Cards, Perks, Enhancements and Items Overview – Spellweaver Cards Detailed– Spellweaver Perks Detailed– Spellweaver Enhancements Detailed– Spellweaver Items DetailedGloomhaven Spellweaver Guide OverviewThis overview section is intended to cover the basic formula to playing the Spellweaver and optimises for consistency and flexibility to ensure players of all skill levels have the necessary tools for success.Spellweaver Cards OverviewLevel 1: Remove Hardened Spikes, Freezing Nova and Crackling Air cards to create your starting deck from the remaining starting cards.Level 2: Flashing Burst replaces Ride The WindLevel 3: Cold Fire but leave it out of your deck for nowLevel 4: Forked Beam replaces Frost ArmourLevel 5: Chromatic Explosion replaces Impaling Eruption.

For this reason removing the -1s twice comes first before adding the +2 ice and fires in that order give us another potential source to empower Cold Fire or our other abilities while boosting our damage further. It’s at this point that zero removal allows us to take advantage of all the +2 we have just acquired by thinning our modifiers.From this point on your choice of

Cards: Level 7 offers two great cards once again and it’s a shame we can only take one but there is a clear winner here for us in Burning Hatred which offers incredible damage output with fire available that can replace our burn action in Flurry of Axes to do a similar role with Flurry of Axes just no longer packing the punch we expect from a burn action. As a basic it also provides another source of wound if we get desperate but it’s the top you’ll regularly want to be using during a scenario. Careless Charge isn’t necessarily a bad card with a move and attack top that is a fantastic combination on any Gloomhaven card and a scenario specific persistent effect that allows us to ignore all negative conditions that removes a lot of frustration from the likes of wound and poison.Level 8 Cards: At level 8 players get another hard hitting attack in Bone Breaker which also gives us the satisfaction of another fire generation tool so we are no longer at risk from bad short rests which even offers a high base attack value of 5 and two debuffs that allow us to attack a melee enemy and potentially walk away to avoid damage. The bottom also gives us a great utility bottom attack that has its purpose from time to time to bring a flying target down to the ground for traps.Level 9 Cards: After all the tough choices as the Berserker level 9 is definitely not that with Immortality offering something tuned to a retaliate build and not worth a second look for our standard Berserker playstyle. Instead our eyes will move to the refreshing The Maw of Madness that gives us our own self heal for the first time since our level 1 cards that doubles as an attacking move with another ranged bottom attack that adds to our flexibility of options while being a potential 8 damage base if we trade enough health.Berserker Perks DetailedThe Berserker perk pathways follows a familiar track to the other mercenaries available in Gloomhaven with our priority to trim those negative values to help our consistency and then take the other options to help our build as appropriate. Beyond the negative and zero removal I recommend players grab the +2 fire card option as we’ve got several cards that add some additional strength when fire is available and while a random fire roll shouldn’t be relied upon it might mean we can make use of these outside your typical combo.With the fire added we can pick up the +2 rolling removes more zeroes from our deck and then we look towards the always useful stun and disarm that plays nicely into our melee exposure before adding wound and heal that are also nice although a lower priority. You’ll notice that I recommend taking ignore negative item effects last as our armour of choice doesn’t provide negative item effects so this perk is essentially useless to us.
