Berserker
A offensive infantry unit of the Vikings. Every figure below is produced by the same engine behind the calculators, so a stat here and a result there cannot disagree.
What stands out
- Every Berserker killed while attacking or raiding takes one surviving defender down with it, shared across the defending units in proportion to their numbers - and no wall reduces it.
- As a raider it has the third-best carry for its price, hauling 10 resources for every 100 spent training it.
- At Smithy level 20 its attack rises from 70 to 93.3, a 33% gain.
Smithy upgrades
Each smithy level raises a stat by a fraction of its base plus a term scaled by crop consumption. The crop term is why a unit’s gain is not simply a percentage of its base stat: relative to their stats, high-upkeep units gain the most.
| Smithy | Offence | Def inf | Def cav |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0 | 70 | 30 | 25 |
| Level 5 | 76 | 34 | 29 |
| Level 10 | 81 | 38 | 33 |
| Level 15 | 87 | 43 | 37 |
| Level 20 | 93 | 47 | 42 |
Training time by server speed
At building level 1 with no artefact, helmet or alliance bonus. Higher building levels cut the time by 10% per level, compounding.
