Command an Army Berserker Unit — Stats & Best Uses

The Command an Army Berserker unit is one of the most talked-about four-star troops in the game — and for good reason. This dual-wielding maniac shreds infantry once he reaches the fight, but he folds fast if you throw him into arrow fire without a plan. If you want to know whether the Command an Army Berserker unit deserves a slot in your loadout, this guide covers everything: stats, summon odds, deploy timing, and the counters that shut him down.

What Is the Berserker in Command an Army?

Helpful resources: tier list, beginner guide, and comprehensive guide.

The Berserker is a four-star melee unit in Command an Army, the Roblox strategy game where you deploy troop squads and fight alongside them as a playable commander. He's a close-range bruiser who spawns with a squad of fellow Berserkers, all wearing signature wolf-head hats and swinging dual weapons.

Unlike tanks such as the Spartan, the Berserker isn't built to absorb damage. He's built to deal it — fast. Based on player experience, his squad can wipe entire formations of light infantry in seconds once they close the gap, which is exactly why content creators chase him in summon banners.

Berserker Stats and Tier Placement

GameRant's Command an Army tier list places the Berserker in A-Tier, grouped with the Spartan, Immortal, Imperial Wall, and Cavalryman. That's a strong placement — but it tells you something important: the Berserker is excellent, not unbeatable. The S-Tier units (Samurai, Lancer, Flame Archer, and Mace) all have tools that punish him.

Here's how the Berserker stacks up against the units you'll actually face:

The pattern is clear: the Berserker dominates anything that lets him get close, and struggles against anything that kills him before he does.

How to Get the Berserker (Summon Odds & Costs)

You obtain the Berserker through the Unit Shop & Summons menu. Based on community reports and streamer pulls, his featured banner rate sits around 0.15% — which for reference is about 1 in 667 pulls. That's brutal, and it's why so many players describe him as a lucky pull rather than a planned purchase.

A few practical notes on acquiring him:

• 10-pull cost: 500 crystals (roughly 400 Robux for 2,500 gems).
• Skip Summon Spin: around 64 Robux — worth it if you're doing bulk pulls, since the animation is long.
• Luck potions: the game sells boosters, but the multiplier isn't clearly displayed in-game. Treat them as a soft bonus, not a guarantee.
• Banner rotation: wait for a banner where the Berserker (or a unit you want more) is featured before dumping currency.
• Free-to-play route: grinding quests, daily objectives, and match rewards is slow but viable. Selling duplicate low-star units for gems also funds extra pulls.

One important limitation: the Berserker cannot be evolved. Community players have confirmed he has no evolution path, unlike units such as the Crossbowman or Scout Rider. What you pull is what you get — only levels improve him.

Best Ways to Use the Berserker in Battle

The single biggest mistake new Berserker owners make is deploying him first. He is not a frontline unit. Here's how experienced players actually use him.

Deploy Him Second, Not First

Use fast units like Scout Riders to rush capture points and soak the initial arrow volleys. Once the enemy's ranged units have fired or repositioned, drop the Berserkers in behind your tanks. In player testing, a Berserker squad that entered after the opening exchange wiped a full Spearman formation without losing a single unit.

Pair Him With a Shield Line

Berserkers have no answer to concentrated archer fire — a stack of archers will "fry" an entire squad before it connects. Bring Shieldman or an Imperial Wall to absorb the first volley, then send the Berserkers through the gap.

Use the Follow Command for Cleanup

Berserkers auto-attack when set to Follow. Park them near a contested point and let them clean up stragglers and retreating enemies. They're arguably the best cleanup crew in the game — one player described them as "just mauling" everything left on the field.

Attack From the Flank

Like the Immortal, the Berserker benefits enormously from flanking. Hitting archers and crossbowmen from the side or rear removes their firing window and turns a losing fight into a rout.

Counters: What Shuts the Berserker Down

Every unit has a bad matchup, and the Berserker has several. If you're facing him, here's what works.

• Flame Archers: their burn effect ignores shields and applies constant damage. Against a tightly packed Berserker squad, that's a death sentence.
• Crossbowmen on defense: massed crossbows behind walls punish any melee push. Players report crossbow-heavy defenses being "lowkey going crazy" against Berserker rushes.
• Samurai: in a straight melee, Samurai win. They're the top S-Tier duelists and the Berserker can't out-trade them.
• Spartan spear walls: a held formation of Spartans stalls the charge long enough for ranged units to finish the job.
• The shield-and-Spartan turtle: community players describe a formation with shields on the outside, Spartans inside, and players at the center as nearly impossible to break with melee alone.

The takeaway: never send Berserkers into a fortified position without a way to break shields or silence ranged units first.

Berserker vs. Other 4-Star Units

If you're deciding where to invest your star budget, this comparison matters. You can only equip so many high-cost units — the Berserker occupies four of your six available stars, which is a significant commitment.

Because the Berserker eats four stars, pairing him with another four-star leaves you only two stars for support. Most players find a Berserker plus one ranged unit (Archer or Crossbowman) gives better balance than running two four-stars with no support at all.

Leveling and Progression Tips

The Berserker levels up simply by being used in matches — there's no separate XP item. Based on player experience:

• Match rewards scale with match duration and your personal contribution, so staying in long games pays off.
• Daily quests (like "deploy five units") progress automatically as you play.
• Ascension caps at level 3 for most units, though the Berserker can't be evolved at all.
• Sell duplicate low-star units for gems to fund more summons — 1-star and 2-star dupes are the best fodder.

Don't expect the Berserker to carry a bad loadout. He's a scalpel, not a hammer — he needs the right army around him to reach his ceiling.

Final Verdict: Is the Berserker Worth It?

Yes — with conditions. The Berserker is an A-Tier unit that can single-handedly swing open-field fights and clean up routed enemies faster than almost anything else. But he has no evolution path, no ranged option, and no answer to concentrated arrow fire. If you pull him, build around him: shields to absorb volleys, fast units to open the fight, and a flank route to reach the backline.
