Altria Caster (Berserker)

This is a beginner-friendly guide to Altria Caster (Berserker) in Fate/Grand Order (English). It breaks down what makes Altria Caster (Berserker) strong, her basic stats, skills, and Noble Phantasm, plus the Ascension and skill-up materials you'll need to raise them.

Altria Caster (Berserker)'s Basic Information

Name	Altria Caster (Berserker)
Class	★5 Berserker
Obtain	Available only in Limited-Time Pickup Summons

Altria Caster (Berserker)'s Strengths

Has a 50% Self-Charge + 20% Single-Target NP Battery

Altria Caster (Berserker) has a Single-Target Noble Phantasm with a 50% NP self-battery and a targetable 20% NP battery. With her Berserker class and NP battery abilities, she can excel in many scenarios against high-HP single-target enemies.

Noble Phantasm with 3 Types of Special Attacks

Altria Caster (Berserker)'s Noble Phantasm (NP) deals high damage if the enemy has the right traits. It has two different Overcharge-scaling Special Attack buffs for Chaotic and Divine traits, and a direct Special Attack multiplier on the NP itself.

Tip!	Altria Caster (Berserker)'s Special Attack buffs for Chaotic and/or Divine are two separate buffs and don't require both traits to be present for the bonus damage.

Low NP Refund from Her Noble Phantasm

Due to her Noble Phantasm's relatively low hit count (6 hits) and her low base NP gain rate, Altria Caster (Berserker) can struggle to loop her NP, even with support from two other Altria Casters. You will need to rely on her self-batteries, external NP batteries, or her Arts cards to fill her NP gauge.

Applies Teamwide Anti-Enforcement DEF via Her Noble Phantasm

Altria Caster (Berserker)'s Noble Phantasm applies a teamwide Anti-Enforcement DEF buff before dealing damage, making it a hybrid NP that both provides a defensive buff and deals damage. This buff is especially effective against boss gimmicks that use an NP after a Break Bar is broken, and because it's an Anti-Enforcement DEF buff, it cannot be bypassed by Pierce Invincibility.

Base Caster Version Has a Better Anti-Enforcement DEF

Altria Caster (Berserker)'s Anti-Enforcement DEF is only effective for one hit and lasts for a single turn. This is somewhat underwhelming compared to her Caster version's, which lasts for 3 turns and has a hit count that scales with Overcharge Level.

Anti-Enforcement DEF Buffs Do Not Stack

Using the NPs of both the Berserker and Caster versions will cause the second Anti-Enforcement NP's buff to fail.

Self-Sufficient Critical Hit Abilities

Altria Caster (Berserker) Critical Related Abilities
Spring's Pulse EX	Increase Critical Strength (3 turns) & C. Star Gather Rate (3 turns) & NP Gauge for yourself
Sacred Sword Manipulation A	Increase Arts Card effectiveness (3 turns) & gain C. Stars each turn (3 turns) & apply Invincible (1 turn) for yourself

Altria Caster (Berserker)'s skills can generate 10 Critical Stars per turn and provide both C. Star Gather Rate and Critical Strength buffs. Despite being an Arts-oriented Berserker, this enables her to land critical hits consistently, increasing the NP gained from her Arts cards when they crit.

Servants with Good Synergy

Compatible Supporters
	Altria Caster (★5) A staple Arts support. She greatly boosts NP damage and spam potential, so you'll always want her in both farming and high-difficulty teams. Her weakness is that she can't aim for the OC up from NP chains.
	Lady Avalon (★5) A high-difficulty Arts support. Her AoE Invincibility plus Max HP up improve survivability, and her Arts buff plus ATK up boost damage.
	Merlin (★5) A support with AoE Invincibility. His NP can grant NP charge, generate Critical Stars, and provide HP recovery, pairing well with Altria Caster (Berserker), who can also deal damage through criticals.
	Tamamo-no-Mae (★5) Arts buff and NP Strength up greatly boost damage. Her NP's HP recovery and NP charge are also excellent, making her especially recommended for high-difficulty content.
	Sima Yi (Reines) (★5) Her high-multiplier ATK up and 50% NP charge have great synergy. Her NP can cancel out class disadvantage, greatly making up for a Berserker's fragility.
	Oberon (★5) Can grant up to 70% NP charge and a high-multiplier NP Strength up. The benefit from the Buster buff is small, so he is an option for a final push.
	Xu Fu (★3) She can provide an Arts buff, NP Gain up, and 30% NP charge, and also offers strong HP recovery. Since her NP is good at generating Critical Stars, she can also reliably enable critical attacks.
	Mash Kyrielight (★3-★4) She can grant DEF up via both a skill and her NP. This partly covers a Berserker's natural frailty, so she's recommended as a shield if you don't have an Invincibility-granting support.
	Hans Christian Andersen (★2) A low-rarity support with per-turn Critical Star generation and various buff effects. Recommended when challenging high-difficulty content while your roster is still thin.

Recommended Skill Leveling by Priority

Skill 1	Priority: ★★★ At Lv10 the NP charge becomes 50%, and you can also boost the multipliers of Critical Strength up and star concentration. It makes activating the NP easier and using criticals easier, so level it first.
Skill 2	Priority: ★★☆ At Lv10 the single-target NP charge becomes 20%. You can boost the AoE NP Gain Up and make activating the NP easier, so level it up, but prioritizing the other two skills first is recommended.
Skill 3	Priority: ★★☆ It boosts the Arts Up multiplier. Since it boosts damage, prioritize leveling it. It also has an Invincible (1 turn) effect, and the cooldown reduction from leveling makes reusing Invincible easier, so it improves survivability.
