@Raptor747 3 ай бұрын

I don't understand the disdain for Berserk. Yes, unupgraded it is an impractical power because two turns in a row of Vulnerable is a big price to pay. But upgraded, it's just one turn--the turn you play it on--giving you control and full knowledge of what price you're paying (if you play it at all), and there are lots of turns where the enemy is either not attacking, or attacking with manageable damage that you can somewhat or partially block. Then you get an extra energy per turn for the rest of the fight, at the cost of 0 energy to play it. If you have Clockwork Souvenier or Orange Pellets, you don't even have to pay that price. Considering that all other +1 base energy per turn options are boss relics with their own substantial downsides (and you aren't even guaranteed to get any of them in a run) or a 3-cost power (Deva Form), having a 0-cost power card give you that effect is pretty nice to have when upgraded. Then the whole "I'll remove that card first" when he has a 6-damage Perfected Strike in his deck is just...bizarre. Not to mention the fact that Brutality is another 0-cost power that gives you +1 card draw per turn, which synergizes well with +1 energy per turn to play more cards.

@secretlyapineapple 3 ай бұрын

I think the thing that makes Berzerk suck is that it only generates energy the next turn, not the turn you play it while you pay for the loss in draw this turn. It may also be impractical to play it the turn you draw it because of damage concerns and so unplayed it goes into your discard pile to dead draw again.

@fancygiraffe3340 3 ай бұрын

It's a hard card to start a run with unless you're willing to upgrade it immediately. P Strike, Bash, and Sever Soul were the only damage cards he had here, so a lot depended on what he pulled from the first fight. Getting another damage card allowed him to care a lot less about P Strike and I imagine what shifted him towards removing it. But imagine a world where you only have 2 cost damage cards and one of those exhausts the rest of anything you could play. The P Strike is suddenly looking a lot more reasonable if only barely.

@boriss.2392 3 ай бұрын

Brutality takes up a slot and costs 1 hp per turn So you play it, then draw the card next turn you would have drawn the turn before if you didnt have Brutality in your deck After 3 turns it becomes a "net gain" of exactly 1 drawn card Since most hallway fights only last 5 turns, youre only gaining 3 extra drawn cards at the cost of 5 hitpoints which uh, use literally any other card draw generator at that point.

@zachhopkins6162 3 ай бұрын

To be fair he did re-evaluate when he actually did card remove and got rid of the pstrike. However I think he is correct that it was the 2nd worst card in the deck. It was kind of either 'upgrade it or remove it' since brutality in act 1 is quite bad in general and berserk unupgraded is bad pretty much the whole game. The upgrade to berserk is VERY good. Basically makes it go from bad to great especially with retain which he got later with pyramid.

Brutality + Rupture can be very strong because the Brutality upgrade makes it innate and from there you're drawing 6 cards which makes you able to play the combo surprisingly fast.

Xecnar said something poignant in a recent video. A lot of people say (upgraded) Berserk is a bad card because you may end up taking extra damage, but will gladly play Bloodletting multiple times during a fight and consider that to be a very strong card.

@CosmicIceCream 3 ай бұрын

That's an excellent point. Sure, there are times when Berserk will result in too much damage to be worth it, but when upgraded you have full control over that and many times it can be played with low or no hp loss (admittedly, it's pretty terrible with Runic Dome, but lots of other cards are too).
