Berserk is a magic spell in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It is provided by Binding Materia, and inflicts the
Berserk effect, which causes a target to both deal 30% more damage and receive 30% more damage.
Use[]
Berserk costs 5 MP to cast, and can be used by party members with binding materia at level 3. It has both offensive and supportive uses: offensively, it can be used against enemies to kill them quicker, while when used as a supportive spell, it can increase the physical damage dealt by an ally.
The positive effects of Berserk are fairly niche but can be useful. Players may prefer to cast Bravery for supportive purposes instead, though the two effects can be combined to further improve physical damage output.
The Berserk spell can be improved by pairing binding materia with Magnify Materia to cast Berserk on all allies at once, improving their physical damage, though this is an inefficient use of the materia. Berserk's duration can be extended with
Magic Focus Materia; similarly, this is an inefficient materia pairing.
Instead of using Berserk, Cloud can get Berserk for free as part of his "hold attack button" combo in Punisher Mode and Prime Mode.
