FGOHikaru: Oh, sorry, I must agree with you if we talk about how a Berserker needs guts. And it's true both Cú and Heracles are wonderful Berserkers: they have their own guts. But it's true what someone said before (don't remember right now): our Servants aren't alone. Usually we cover one flaw of a Servant with another one. That's when we create strategies.

If I'll go against enemies with a high chance of crit my Berserker, then I'll use Irisviel and couple her with Merlin, or with someone with a lot of Arts card and/or who is able to charge her NP (like Tamamo). That way I'll be sure my Berserker will have guts soon, and that I'll be able to spam Iris NP and give guts often.

On the other hand, if I go against long battles (like Edmond Dantes one) I'll use not only heal/guts, but also have some defense at hand. In example, during Edmond Dantes' Challenge Merlin had his second skill and Cú, of course, had dodge. But I had Shielder in my fourth slot, and also had my Exchange skill ready. In the 7/7 battle I did that: needed more defense, Merlin had everything on cooldown, and exchanged him with Shielder to buff DEF and also taunt.

Using Berserkers as DPS is dangerous and risky (normal ones, not that monster called Cú Chulainn), but it seems it's possible to do it with low risk if we use a good strategy. I'm not sure yet if my strategy is flawless, so I'm waiting a very good raid/challenge event to test it.

But one thing is sure: the team Berserker + Irisviel + Support/Healer isn't a fast one. Sometimes it's slow. But, like you said before, I feel comfortable with solid teams that give me safety. I don't mind taking my time in the fight if I can guarantee my Servants will do their job sooner or later.
