First time getting a berserker to the top. So far I’ve done:

  • Huntress
  • Gladiator
  • Champion
  • Assassin
  • Warlock
  • Battlemage

Still need to do monk, free runner, and sniper

    That’s cool! I thought I read somewhere that defense builds weren’t very viable in that game because no matter what an attack has a chance of doing all the damage because armor blocks between zero and something. Is this information outdated, or does the shield solve this problem?

      When not upgraded, armor blocks between 0 and X, but blocking increases with upgrades as +1/+tier. In addition, evasion means a hit can be avoided entirely.

        I generally opt for evasion since it scales with upgrades I believe. At higher levels on plate armour it’s great. Defense augmentation is dangerous if you don’t have high defense to mitigate the DMG or a ring of elements to help you to reduce DMG from spells you’re no longer good at avoiding

      It’s outdated.

      My armour was doing 8-60 block DMG. The shield was doing 0-16 or so.

      The thorns mechanic got pretty broken pretty quickly: I was doing multiple rounds of 10 DMG bleeding every time they even looked at me.
