Rules Clarification : Berserk      (Edit)

• Berserk attacks will generate even more Berserk attacks. You keep going until you miss, something survives, or you run out of targets.
• Berserk grants an additional attack which by definition can only occur during your Combat Action. Therefore Berserk doesn't work on free strikes, impact attacks, etc.
• "Immediately" means you can't save it until later in your activation. Berserk must be resolved at step 14 of the attack sequence (refer Apdx A).
• You cannot use "Any Time" abilities while resolving the original attack, the Berserk attack, or between the attacks. Refer Apdx A.
• Berserk doesn't trigger during a frenzy. (Infernal Ruling)
• Berserk will not trigger if the target uses an ability to move the damage to another model (such as a warlock transfer).
  • But it will trigger if they use an ability to move the attack to a different model (such as Grim Salvation).
• Berserk has a weird niche interaction with Agathon's abilities, which you can read here.
• Attack-Generating Abilities (Edit)
  • From the core rulebook: When a model is granted more attacks as a result of an attack it made, it gains only one. If two or more special rules would grant the model another attack as a result of making an attack, its controlling player chooses which special rule to apply.
  • If you trigger two attack-generating abilities (such as Black Spot and Kill Shot) you choose to resolve one and "lose" the other (unless you trigger it again later).
  • If you trigger two attack-generating abilities, and one of them is compulsory (such as Black Spot and Berserk), you must choose to resolve the compulsory one. (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Swift Hunter and/or Overtake     (Edit)

• The free move must be resolved before other abilities that involve attacks (such as Quick Work or Berserk). Refer Step 12 vs 14 in Appendix A.
• This ability does not trigger off special attacks, only basic ones.
• An important difference:
  • Swift Hunter can be triggered by any attack, including out-of-activation attacks.
  • Overtake only works on attacks during your Combat Action. Even stuff like Impact Attacks won't trigger it.
• If you make a free strike during your Combat Action (for instance the enemy used a special rule to move during your Combat Action) you can trigger Overtake on that free strike. It still counts as being during your Combat Action. (Infernal Ruling)
