Additional Information
Once Berserk, the victim's moveset is updated so that all non-passive, non-damaging moves are removed. While Berserk prevents some passives from functioning, they are not removed. Any non-damaging move will automatically fail if Berserk is applied before the user acts in the given round.
Certain passives that have nonzero power, such as Pre-emptive Strike, Splinter, and Self-Destruct, still work under Berserk. Passive moves that use other moves such as Custom Starter and Automation still work, but they may trigger a different move due to the moveset change.
In general, non-damaging passives that have active triggering effects (identified by a pop-up toast appearing at the top of the screen) are blocked by Berserk. This includes AP Factory, AP Refund, Berserker, Bloodlust, Burning Passion, Clay-Fired, Cold Fusion, Energy Reserves, Liftoff, Multicopy, Neutralise, Prismatic, Retribution, Spring-Load, Tower Defence, Trap Jaw, and Vengeful Curse.
On the other hand, the following non-damage passives still work even when the user has Berserk: Acid Reflex, all elemental resistances, AP Starter, Breathing Technique, Carnivore, Critical AP, Final Breath, Fossil, Hardback, Insomnia, Liquid Body, Machine Curse, Phase Shift, Pity AP, Radioactive, Ricochet, Self-Assured, Shear Luck, Status Resistance, Sturdy Armour, Sugar Rush, Tripwire, Unshakeable, and Vampire.
Berserj can be especially useful if an opponent has a number of passive/automatic/buff/status moves as part of their strategy such as:
