The Northlander

Gunde

Driven into a frenzy by tribal blood-magic, the Berserkers of the Northlands are the fiercest warriors on the battlefields, often the last ones standing when dawn comes. Gunde's lust for violence drew him south to the Stronghold, to find new battles to fight. Barely speaking the language, but knowing a worthy challenge when he sees one, he joins the Fellowship to achieve the bloodlust he needs.

Playstyle

A furious berserker driven by an insatiable hunger for battle, Gunde rends through all enemies standing in his path. Gunde is a Melee Fighter who excels at keeping pressure on his enemies. Rend is Gunde's core mechanic, allowing him to stack powerful bleed effects through repeated attacks and abilities. Enemies that die while afflicted by Rend leave behind blood-soaked feathers carrying the remnants of their suffering. Absorbing these feathers allows Gunde to carry that bleeding momentum onto his next victim. By consuming accumulated Rend with Slaughter, Gunde can unleash devastating bursts of damage in a short window.
