The Guild Master is {{Transient icon|Claude}}. | |||
==Overview== | |||
= | The core philosophy of the Berserkers revolves around the act and spectating of fighting. Claude holds matches within their home base, the underground Ikebukuro Colosseum located within and beneath the building previously known as the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre. A rule placed down by him states that only the strongest warriors may pass through the gate. In order to enter the Colosseum, the visitor's strength must be recognized by a current gladiator of the Colosseum.<ref name="ch 3">[[Main Quest:Chapter 3|Chapter 3: Berserkers - Ikebukuro Colosseum]]</ref><sup>2</sup> | ||
They claim to be the strongest guild in Tokyo, though this is likely not true because of the existence of the [[Guild#Three True Guilds|Three True Guilds]]. | |||
The Affiliation icon depicts two swords clashing against a backdrop of a Roman Colosseum engulfed in flames. | |||

==Ikebukuro Experiment== | |||
With Claude's massive wealth, he constructed the Ikebukuro Underground Labyrinth. Based on Claude's assumptions about the [[Loop|loops]] happening in Tokyo, he used this space not only to hold the numerous matches but as an experimental space that could recreate the environmental conditions of [[the App]]. The purpose of this experiment was to figure out how to end the loops, as well as to figure out a way to stay in the fight as long as possible. Claude also requested [[Wisemen|The Wisemen]], notably {{Transient icon|Duo}}, to create a safe house within the labyrinth hidden in a way that nobody could predict its whereabouts, even if they knew about its existence. {{Transient icon|Shuichi}} implies that Duo did this knowing that only Shuichi would know Duo's genius enough to be able to figure out its location.<ref name="ch 9">[[Release Campaign:Main Quest Chapter 9|Chapter 9: Crafters - Karmic Engine]]</ref><sup>11</sup> | |||
==Rankers== | ==Rankers== | ||
A ranking system is used to determine the prize money rewarded to notable individuals. Those that fall outside of this shortlist can participate in Unranked Battles or can challenge a Ranker for their spot. Rankers must accept all battles to maintain their rank. Despite the prestige that comes with being amongst the Rankers, the rankings actually fluctuate greatly. This is partially due to match fixing and baiting greenhorns. | |||
=Notes= | When the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}} first enters the Colosseum in [[Main Quest:Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], the Rankers are initially ordered as indicated below: | ||
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible sortable" | |||
! Rank || Name || Notes | |||
|- | |||
| 1 || {{Transient icon|Macan}} || | |||
|- | |||
| 2? || {{Transient icon|Cthugha}} || Never stated, but a likely assumption. | |||
|- | |||
| 3 || {{Transient icon|Oniwaka}} || | |||
|- | |||
| 4/5 || {{Transient icon|Ikutoshi}} || By process of elimination, Ikutoshi must be either 4th or 5th. | |||
|- | |||
| 6 || {{Transient icon|Kengo}} || | |||
|- | |||
| 7 || {{Transient icon|Bathym}} || | |||
|- | |||

| 9 || {{Transient icon|Horkeu Kamui}} || | |||

After Chapter 3, the Rankers' order is roughly as follows: | |||
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible sortable" | |||
