Berserkers

"You belong in a museum!" - This content is no longer being developed! Berserkers appear to be a stronger version of the common Infantry and Huscarls. They are faster, have better defence and more health, but don't have throwing axes. They usually appear in groups of 2, 4 or 5, occasionally in greater groups like 8 or more. These troops are far more aggressive, ignoring your buildings in order to chase down your soldiers.

The Berserkers were replaced by the Dual Wielders in the Jotunn edition expansion.

Strengths

 * A stronger version of the Viking Infantry and Normans.
 * Much improved shields.
 * High speed.
 * As of version 1.5, they can take hits the same way as Viking Brutes.
 * Due to their speed, numbers, shields and health, they are the best at overwhelming your pikeblocks frontally.
 * They are stronger than Level 2 Infantry.
 * Resistant against level 1 Plunge, Volley, and Pike Charge.

Weaknessess

 * Can't block ranged attacks when engaged in melee combat.
 * Pikes and choke-points are the most effective against them.
 * They ignore your houses and attack your troops, so you can bait them to the best choke-points on the island.
 * If all your troops are regenerating, berserkers will just stand still and wait for them to come out.
 * You can rescue a unit from berserkers by going into a house to Regenerate.
