Valheim tier list Berserker: Swamp

Graded within the biome: S from 90 % of the best at the highest level, A from 75, B from 60, C from 45, D below. The next biome stands beside it, and levels 1 to 4 show what upgrading brings. The question mark explains the formula.

Level 1 2 3 4

Swamp

Weapons

Against three enemies: damage per second × the enemies hit (three from a 90° swing arc, fewer with a narrower one, one without multi-hit) × the damage split (axes split: ÷ 0.75 × count) × min(1, 20 ÷ Knockback). What pushes further meets the group less often - this factor is an assumption, not a rule of the game.

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Armour

What the set adds to melee: (1 + damage bonus) ÷ (1 + stamina per attack) − 1, with the cape that spares most stamina. A set without a bonus does not stand here.

No piece of this kind in this biome.
