Berserk Mode

Guts gives in to his inner malice, the Beast of Darkness, and dons the Berserker Armor.

Summary

The Berserk Mode is a condition in which a character, due to psychological or physical effects, falls into an uncontrollable rage. Intelligence is often reduced to the level of animal instincts, and the person in this condition begins to attack indiscriminately, with increased aggression. However, the person could pose a threat to both enemies and allies. Berserk Mode is often accompanied by a sharp increase in the attack ability at the expense of the defense.
