Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Beruka is a level 9Wyvern Rider starting in Chapter 10 ofConquest, and Chapter 12 ofRevelation. She joins with a somewhat low base HP, great strength and skill, lowish speed, middling luck, high defense, and low resistance. Furthermore, her magic is nonexistent. Likewise, her growths are also not noteworthy. Most of them are average, with HP, skill, and defense being on the higher end, and magic and resistance on the lower end. Beruka is also a better user ofHand Axes compared to other units with her high skill base and growth mitigating its low base accuracy, and she gains additional damage when her personal is frequently activated.
Beruka starts with her personal skill,Opportunist, andStrength +2. Opportunist deals four extra damage to opponents who cannot counterattack, making the skill valuable for being a bow killer after baiting them out with other units, since they pose massive threats to her for dealing effective damage in her base class tree. Strength +2 gives some extra damage to make up for her slight lack of speed. At level 10, she getsLunge, which can be helpful for repositioning closer to something. Her base D in axes only allows her to use bronze, iron, and basic throwing weapons. InConquest, she starts with some extra points to her axe rank, making getting to C rank faster.
Beruka has a great starting class and great promotion options.Wyvern Lord is great with its eight, unimpeded movement over unfavorable terrain, and overall better promotion bonuses. However, its growth increases are lackluster in only increasing skill by 5%, and decreasing magic by 5%; Wyvern Lord also supplies access to lances for another great weapon type, and its two skills are both useful.Rally Defense is a great supportive skill, and the main treat inSwordbreaker gives an extra fifty hit and avoid against swords that in short mostly negates weapon triangle disadvantage.Malig Knight is not as ideal for her as it splits her pure physical focus into funneling between physical and magical abilities, Beruka notably struggles in magic, with the Malig Knight's promotion gains not being enough to offset this flaw without continued investment, although she does gain some much needed resistance in her stat and growth. However, the main advantage of this class over Wyvern Lord and her other classes is that it provides a more readily accessible means for Beruka to take advantage of her personal skill via tomes, which avoid having Beruka's combat ability compromised to an extent when fighting at range when using Hand Axes,Javelins, orKodachis, (that disable combat skills, critical hits, and follow-up attacks), orTomahawks,Spears, andWakizashis (that allow combat skills and critical hits at the cost of melee range). With the addition oftonics, meals, pair ups, and a forgedFire tome, she can reach a similar damage output with her tomes toCamilla with her magic base and unforgedThunder tome in her inventory. Malig Knight also offers useful skills that Beruka can use outside of the class—Savage Blow allows her to deal chip damage to a large amount of enemies, andTrample deals 5 extra damage to unmounted units, making this effective against a large portion of enemies, particularly inConquest.
TheFighter class tree is great for Beruka mostly for keeping her axe rank.HP +5 is a useful skill to help patch up her low HP. andGamble reduces her hit, but increases her crit. Beruka's high skill base and growth help to reduce the impact of the accuracy reduction.Berserker reduces quite a lot of her stats compared to Wyvern Lord, but has more HP, strength, and speed. In addition, she gains an innate +20crit bonus, but also reduces herdodge by five. The reduced dodge, combined with her reduced luck and resistance reclassing makes enemy magic users more dangerous. For skills,Rally Strength is another great supportive skill, andAxefaire increases the damage dealt by five with Beruka's weapon of choice.Hero is an alternative option that retains more of Wyvern's defense bulk, has more skill and resistance, and makes her slightly faster and HP bulky, but not as much as Berserker does. She also gains access to swords for a more accurate weapon type, but is not as important for Beruka due to her high skill base, growth, and access to Swordbreaker and Hero'sAxebreaker, which combine to make axes fairly accurate. Hero's other skill ofSol heals half of the damage dealt in one strike of combat. Combined with her decent defense, this can allow Beruka to do some enemy phasing, but due to its random activation, it should not be relied on
When it comes to choices ofFriendship Seal classes, Beruka has a couple choices.Camilla gives theDark Mage class, which is pretty lackluster in Beruka's hands with her having a low base magic when reclassing, and should really only be used if the player plans to utilize the Malig Knight playstyle previously mentioned.Selena givesMercenary, whereStrong Riposte is a must grab skill for some extra damage on enemy phase. Beruka only gainsBow Knight for a new class since her Fighter class can promote to Hero. From this,Shurikenbreaker is a very useful skill to avoid debuffs from shurikens, especially late-game, whereMaster Ninjas andMaids can have theInevitable End skill on Lunatic difficulty, which can severely cripple Beruka.Oboro is aRevelation exclusive, and bestows theSpear Fighter class, which synergizes well with Wyvern Lord's lance access. Beruka's high skill base and growth makeBasara'sRend Heaven activate frequently, andQuixotic furthers skill activation, and increase hit, but it's for both units.Revelation doesn't have many proc skills on enemies, even on Lunatic, so it can be a more viable pick.Swap for extra positioning opportunities, andLancefaire for extra damage are other great skills Beruka can use well.
As a wife, Beruka is on the physical end with her passing a higher strength growth than magic, as well as passing better growths in HP, skill, luck, and defense. More importantly, she can pass down Wyvern Rider to her children, and husband via aPartner Seal, allowing them to gain access to a highly mobile flying class with high strength (or magic, in the case of Malig Knight), and useful skills.Benny andIgnatius in particular really appreciate it, since their main nature is taking hits while receiving minimal damage. Wyvern's pair up bonuses of strength and defense are also incredibly helpful since they struggle to double, and can at least deal as much damage as they can. Once Beruka is promoted, she gives Movement in pair up as well, which is quite good for additional utility. Beruka also likesKnight for a class tree since she can be unable to double if she gets unlucky, andWary Fighter fromGeneral fixes the issue of her getting doubled by faster foes. Extra bulk fromDefense +2,Natural Cover,Pavise, andArmored Blow help out if the player has Beruka fully capitalize on her very good tanking prowess.Luna is also a good combat skill for a chance at dealing additional damage to further weaken, or outright kill opponents.
In the case of a dragon-talentKana orSiegbert, Beruka will pass down Fighter, which is useful due to its access to Sol and the powerful Berserker class, or using Axefaire in a different class tree. In a special case withPercy, she'll passSky Knight instead, with the only other mother who can give it to him beingAzura.
If the player doesn't wish to use her in the long term, promoting Beruka early on is useful to make her temporarily more powerful, to gain access to a +1 movement pair-up, or for passing down strong skills to her children early on.
