With credit to the concept of player power inSuperfuse, there is really only one class specialist designed to be a tank in the game. While many of the skills in the game can be altered and fused to accomplish a number of tasks, only the Brute Force Berserker can force enemies to attack themselves.

The biggest knock on the Brute Force Berserker is that it’s not designed for solo play as enemies will already be focused on the Berserker. But co-op gamers are in for a treat when they playSuperfusewith friends if they’ve got their talent points spent correctly.
This article was written during the Early Access period. Updates and patches may have altered the overall experience.
10Leaded Fists
Penetration stats usually only help spellcasters, but because the Brute Force Berserker’s spells are physical, Leaded Fists increases the effectiveness of every attack the specialization is capable of. Late-game bosses tend to have high resistance statistics, so a few points in this will help out in some of the most lethal battles.
9Brawn
Because Brawn isn’t accessible until later on, gamers may need tobuy a respecto meaningfully invest in Brawn. However, when they do, the combination of this and Superhuman Strength can make the Brute Force Berserker do as much damage as some of the other classes can.
8Accelerated Healing
While prevention is better than remedy, a certain amount of healing is still wise to have in battle. The Brute Force Berserker doesn’t have touse a portto escape every situation. Instead, use a Leap, run around for a few seconds, then reengage after Accelerated Healing has taken the Berserker back to full health.
7Ferocity

First, the downside. Because Ferocity is at the end of the talent tree, players will essentially have to forfeit all other passive talents, including the ones on this list. It’s still perhaps worth trying tolevel up quicklyfor Ferocity because it makes the Brute Force Berserker more difficult to kill when it’s in a vulnerable state.
6Knuckle Dusters
The virtue of this skill sometimes doesn’t register on the initial read. Knuckle Dusters increases spell damage and casting speed for all skills when using fist weapons, which should be always. Speeding up spells and casting time makes the player deadly and more responsive, allowing the player to focus ongetting new fusesin their inventory.
5Resilience
Players may be so excited bygetting new skillsand dealing more damage that they forget about elemental resistance. Then a flamethrower hits the Berserker and fries the hero in one shot. Resilience increases elemental resistance by 15% with a full investment, giving the tank a bit more ability to withstand these special attacks, often employed by bosses and elite mobs.
4Thick Skin
Bonuses to armor are often flat amounts, gained byadding a fuse to a skill. Thick Skin adds armor based on a percentage, allowing it to get so high that virtually anything less than a boss can’t deal damage to the Berserker. Plus, it’s a passive skill, so the effect is always on, regardless of the situation.
3Superhuman Strength

Increasing strength by a percentage is as good as passive skills get, as strength both increases armor and physical damage. With offense and defense increased by 25% of the player’s strength, this means the cap is as high as the gear the Berserker uses, which can get astronomical. This specialization might not be one ofthe most highly-rated of the characters, but this skill certainly keeps it competitive.
2Leap
The game will be longfor players who try to play the Brute Force Berserker as a true tank. In boss fights, the Berserker can handle some big hits, but not for more than a few seconds, even with the best gear. That’s where Leap comes into play, allowing the hero to escape before being delivered a fatal blow. Leap is also plenty great at initiating contact, taking care of waves of enemies.
1Provoke
The main, and perhaps only reason, to play the Crute Force Berserker is for Provoke. This skill applied a classic taunt to enemies, forcing them to attack the Berserker instead of the Berserker’s allies. Additionally, this skill lowers the defenses of the provoked enemies, making them an easier kill for teammates whohave better gear.
