Help me defeat Berserker class type orcs

[Jns]

Hi guys, I'm level 11 on nemesis difficulty and im frustrated cause i might have gone over some quick tips offered by the game. I just can't defeat berserkers... I'm aware that i need to strike from the back but right after i vault them they turn around and instantly block my hit. They usually defeat me with full health. I'm looking for a good method to defeat this type of class. Also I'm still running around with the pre-order sword at this level which might be the problem? I'm not sure. Thanks for the help!

stun em

You need to stun them to stop them from attacking very fast or else you will keep getting killed multiply times. But it also levels them very fast. Sometimes when they kill you, they become legendary. :D

Press "E" in front of them, then you can do what you want...

Use your bow

[MafiaPenguin]

like others have been saying, stun them, or bow them, later on, use your own orc captians against them and double team them, since, on nemesis difficulty, they will adapt to the stun after a bit

Something I never think of, is you can bash and slide to get a hit in. I think running then pressing left CTRL does a bash (works on shields too I think?) or slide - press Shift when running.

hammer there face they get knocked down everytime if there not immune to arrows

[INT]

You mean savage berserker? Hmm on nemesis i wouldn't use E cuz while he attacking you, his "unblockable" attack can't be stop by stun E. Only those heavy attack can't be stop by E, but the stun E always work if the orc didn't use heavy attack or is frost immune.

Like william said you can use hammer to knock him down to use ground execution against him. That's one of pretty good move i use, when i play undead set with Helms hammer. (Or none set gear which you can equip some random hammer)

If you still have trouble with that guy then use bodyguard. Bg are much better than iron guard or spider summon, because captain has high hp, dmg depend on your lvl and his upgrade. Iron guard give you only 4 weak grunts and spider poison enemy but die after single use, which is pretty useless against large of enemy forces. Bodyguard can be summon anywhere even in overlord room, that's quite nice that you don't have to fight some op captain alone and risk of dying. My favorite bg is a commander cuz he can summon reinforcement to distract many enemy attacks away and let you focus the priority target easier.


I hope this will help you abit :D

there's an upgrade to jumping over him that automatically freezes..though I'm not sure if you can get that at lvl 11
