Berserker Orcs are a big threat due to their speed and damage. They should be prioritized and eliminated as quickly as possible. Newer players should stop their advance with blockades and target them with heroes. Berserker Orcs are notorious for finding their way around blockades, so good placement is also necessary. Berserker Orcs can also be stopped with stunning effects, but the majority of players will not have access to reliable stuns early on. If Berserker Orcs are not quickly eliminated, they will deal massive damage to blockades and towers and can easily slip through to destroy your crystal core.

Berserker Orcs are notorious for running past barricades and other distractions, quickly reaching and killing the objectives. As a result, they can easily catch unaware players off guard and killing the objectives before players have time to react. This can be prevented by sealing up lanes with barricades, so that enemies are unable to simply walk around them. If a barricade goes down, act quickly to rebuild the barricade before Berserker Orcs leak through.

Due to their fast movement speed and heavy damage, they are also very effective at killing barricades. Defences with crowd control effects like stuns and slows are commonly used to control and counter them. Make sure that there are defences to quickly kill Berserker Orcs that do reach the barricades. The Shielding Guard and Sharpened Spikes [[shards]] are often used as well to keep the barricades alive until the defences can kill them.
