Purpose and Advantages of the Berserker Armor (Currently worn by Guts)

By suppressing the physiological and psychological processes of the human body that would typically stop a person from using enough power to harm themselves, the Berserker Armor's main purpose is to prevent injuries. The wearer's physical body is significantly enhanced as a result, reaching previously unimaginable levels of strength and speed. The armor accomplishes this by reducing the discomfort that pain causes; while the wearer can still experience pain as a sensation, their mind does not perceive it as a problem, allowing them to ignore it. 

Additionally, it incites intense bloodlust in the wearer, intensifying hate, fear, and wrath so that the user can fight more effectively. In the midst of combat, the armor can also momentarily heal crippling wounds. As an example, a shattered arm can be repaired by the armor, injecting thin spines from itself into the broken bones, putting them back in their proper positions and regaining use of the limb.  Daiba compares this to the user appearing to be "wrapped in the prana of Durga." If the armor is damaged, it can also mend itself.

The headpiece of the armor assumes a distinctive appearance when a berserker fury is triggered. In Guts' case, the helmet and bevor are designed to resemble the Beast of Darkness, with the ability to serve as an enemy-biting mouth. When the armor is worn, Guts' face is completely hidden, and the helm's eye sockets flash red. If Guts is in control of himself, however, the helm's eye sockets stop glowing red and reveal the swordsman's genuine eye.

A "blood memory" of a former user's dying moments was once absorbed into the Berserker Armor and passed on to its current wearer.

Disadvantages of the product Berserker Armor

The power of the armor has certain disadvantages, the most prominent of which is connected to the od that grants the armor its power. The od can absorb the wearer's mind and transform them into a feral, murderous creature that is unable to tell the difference between friend and foe if they do not actively monitor their bad feelings.  

The wearer's senses will start to fade if this state is routinely accessed, eventually going away entirely.  It can also lead to long-term mental decline, serving as a breeding ground for the wearer's own inner darkness. In Guts berserker armor' situation, a strong magical presence, such as that radiated by Schierke's astral body or the Moonlight Boy's presence, is necessary to stabilize him while he uses the armor to its full extent.

A disadvantage of the armor's capacity to numb pain is that it permits the wearer to injure themselves through excessive exertion.

In a similar vein, the armor's reinforcement of shattered bones or other incapacitating wounds can cause blood loss, which results in death.
