Instinct is actually useful once you understand star management. His BC is still fine.

To begin with, Berserker strats is always to dish their highest amount of damage before leaving due to possessing high disadvantages. Instinct on Beowulf is to aim 40-50 stars with him, so if his Buster cards are there, he can pull an unblockable 100% crits Buster Brave; his BC is an emergency button if he turned out died because lethal blow / curse / poison before NP.

The easiest and cheapest strats you can imagine in NA would be:

> Beowulf + Shakespeare + Waver support, all using Golden Carps CE (instant stars CE).

> On 1/1 battle. Entering boss nodes, with 2 Beowulf's card available. If stars below 50, use his Instinct.

> Then use Waver skills for Beowulf 100% NP, Shakespeare using his Buster buff on Beowulf.

> The best would be NP-B-B, you can see Beowulf pull the ST NP as well as an high crits that can't be dodged.

Believe it or not, this strats is quite recognized by Japanese players on boss battle 1/1 nodes (but with Merlin + Waver instead of Shakespeare) NP 2+ Beowulf under skill level 10 with that setup is somewhat guaranteed wiped 1 HP bar, that you can say he already did it good as he can let others dealing with less hassle from remaining two layer HP bar or simply waiting on last seat with LB Kaleido to deliver last blow that can't be dodged.

One reason DW not updating him (and good amount of Berserker) mainly because of this. The strategy is still viable to this date, even for whales who own him at NP 5, no need to update unless he started to left behind.
