Berserk is a 4 level spell in the School of Fire Magic. It is a mind spell that makes the target attack the nearest troop whether it is an ally or enemy. This also includes war machines. If the creature cannot attack anyone, the spell expires after 255 turns.

  • The shooting squad shoots at the closest hex of the closest squad possible (if there are several equidistant squads, one is chosen randomly).
  • In melee combat, a squad always chooses the closest enemy and hex that is easiest to reach. If there are several equidistant squads, one is chosen randomly. The squad does not pass a turn if it is possible to reach the target.

Berserk is perhaps the most powerful combat spell in the game. It allows heroes to defeat armies with clearly stronger forces.
