This class mod based upon Guts, the main anti-hero protagonist of Berserk (by Kentaro Miura) who carries the names "Hungred Man Slayer" and "The Black Swordman". He is introduced as a wanderer with a grudge, bent on hunting down and slaying the beings known as Apostles with a gigantic sword known as the Dragonslayer.

The idea itself is to build Guts as a warrior class mod with high damage output abilities, can be used as a semi-tanker and main dps of the team. However, to use him effectively, you have to manage his stress.
