Berserker Blitz 1 & 2 Comparison

The charts below compare the 2 seasons of the Berzerker Blitz Event. The good news is there are more higher stat items available but the bad news is the cost went up and the event was shortened by 1 day. The number of available lower stat items did go down but for the first event there were 1.5 million unclaimed items so running out of these probably won’t be an issue [1]. The first event lasted for 4 days and this one is only 3. The FAQ was updated but it’s confusing because they used many images from the first event and the number of available items and the timer are wrong [1]. The unique aspect of this event is that the items can not be purchased with reward points. The only thing available for purchase are Berserker Boosts and these provide minimal help as far as earning more Berserker Badges is concerned. The best item requires 2,000 badges and the Berserker Boost only works for 5 drops (double the drop so 10 badges per boost). At a cost of 2 reward points each you would need to purchase 200 of them to acquire 2,000 badges and no loot item is worth 400 reward points! For a review of how these boosts work, go here. There are a lot of comments on the poor drop rate of badges and there are 2 reasons for this. The first is that only traditional fighting counts and the drop rate is dependent on the amount of stamina used. Any fighter can tell you that it takes a long time to burn stamina on the fightlist. The second reason is the Burn Out Meter. Once maxed you have to wait 2 hours to for it to reset. During the 1 hour and 45 minutes you are waiting for the meter to reset the drop rate of badges is significantly reduced.
