Diablo Immortal Berserk Update: Back to Barbarian Power

ECHO Gaming Staff May 1, 2025 Gaming Diablo 15 days ago

    TL;DR: Blizzard’s Berserk crossover lands today, bringing flashy Phantom Market skins, a speed‑tuned Barbarian kit, the Zodd event, and fresh loot paths. I ditched Necro for Barb to grab the giant swords, faster clears, and day‑one cosmetics—here’s how you can hit the ground running.

Berserk Update Drops—Here’s What Matters

The long‑teased Berserk collaboration kicks off a month‑long event, stacking fresh quests, the Crimson Behelit gem, and a new Phantom Market roll. If you log in today you’ll see Struggler’s Bane on the menu and Zodd rumbling in the distance.

Why the Barbarian Calls Again

I ran Necromancer for two weeks—great AFK farming, painfully slow on foot. The new Barbarian skin set swings twin slab‑sized swords and adds slick Berserker‑themed armor, so swapping back was a no‑brainer. Barb still owns the leaderboard for raw movement speed thanks to Sprint plus Whirlwind, making story beats, contracts, and rifts quicker.

Fast‑Track Your Class Change

Hit Westmarch > Class Change; the first swap of the week stays free.
Your stash auto‑re‑slots cosmetic‑locked charms—double‑check gems and armory sets before queuing.
Rebuild gear around a 4‑piece Vithu + 4‑piece Mountbank blend for steady sustain and shield pops.

Launch‑Day Livestream Schedule

I’m running two back‑to‑back shows: 10 AM ET—deep dive into the update, cosmetics test, and first Zodd pulls. Four hours total—drop in for live loot rolls and build chat.

Pick the Right Class for Cosmetics

Phantom Market skins bind to your active class. If you want that Berserk armor on day one, switch before you buy draws. First full pull averages about $250 in Eternal Orbs; the pet reskin runs closer to $50.

Cost Breakdown & Wallet Tips

Full Phantom Set: roughly 15,400 Orbs (≈ $250). Includes armor, weapon effect, and portal.
Murloc Pet Swap → Golem: around 3,000 Orbs (≈ $50).
Daily login gifts hand out one Legendary Crest—use it on Zodd week for extra Behelit shards.

Final Take

Berserk’s gloomy style meshes perfectly with Sanctuary, and Barbarian players get the best visual payout. If you crave speed runs, giant swords, and headline cosmetics, it’s time to smash that class change button and leap into the Eclipse.
