ibaraki or beowulf?

generally speaking,with better np gain and buster effectiveness and better survivability it would be pretty simple right?ibaraki
but I'm just looking for a high damage single hit glass cannon that will pack as much punch as it can into a single np,taking out bosses that need to be taken out fast
I got these two and according to the np chart beowulf outdoes ibaraki (even though their first skills are pretty much the same in terms of a total %50 increase,maybe they didnt take the random multiplier while testing these? ibaraki does have less attack but %7 more buster effectiveness) but the thing is my ibaraki is on np2
which ups her np multiplier to %800 from %600
but still the damage gap in the np chart makes me doubt
what do you guys think?

I have both of these servants myself and Ibaraki has become my primary Beserker for single target damage. The boost to her NP from her first skill ends up giving her NP more damage than Beowulf’s, while her Buster cards hit for slightly less. Her other two skills tend to be more useful for survivability as well. While guts may get him that one extra turn, the defensive boost for Ibaraki along with her heal and Debuff removal have kept her going longer into battles for me. If you really want to make her shine, spending two grails to level her to 90 and giving her full Fou buffs will make her one of the best damage dealing Beserkers for less cost than most of the 5*s can manage to output. With this set up for me, she outdamages Kintoki on her ST NP. He still has the edge for single buster card damage by a bit though

after grailing two 4* and regretting it plus being extremely satisfied with my 100lvl karna I can still say that I won't regret grailing either of these especially ibaraki but the real question is does np2 ibaraki outdo np1 beo in sheer single np damage
of course by the time beo fires a second np ibaraki can fire more than that and survive a lot longer but these arent what I'm comparing
in terms of a npbb ibaraki has buff removal and defense down to aid her but these arent what I'm comparing either

I think NP2 Ibaraki will outdamage NP1 Beowulf because of NP2. Well, I didn't really witnessed my 7/6/6 NP2 Ibaraki firing her NP with her own buffs alone but with outside buffs she dealt more than 240K damage. But then again it would matter on how will you invest on their skill. Let's say that Beowulf can outdamage Ibaraki, but you have to look the utility Ibaraki can offer. Her attack buff is party wide, that matters along with her defense down debuff. Beo may have good burst damage, but Ibaraki will have better consistent damage. It's like Cu Alter and Jalter all over again.

yeah I guess no matter how you look at it ibaraki is the way to go
poor beo I hope he gets a strengtening quest for his third skill for buster effectiveness or second skill giving him c.star gather

While Ibaraki is definitely the superior Berserker because of her overal kit, Beowulf has access to an NP interlude and will therefore always do more NP damage than Ibaraki all buffs outside of their own kit being equal. You can check our NP damage charts for confirmation.

Ibaraki lacks an NP interlude and will continue to do so - she doesn't need one to be an excellent pick anyway.

twith his interlude his np is %700
ibaraki on np2 has %800 and %7 more buster effectiveness

In other words, they are not equal - Ibaraki is NP2 whereas Beowulf is not. The comment I was responding to did not display that information.

Telling a staff member of Gamepress to shut up is both hilarious and immature of you. I have seen you in several other threads before and you always go toxic when someone with a better understanding of servants replies to you. I would suggest that you accept the fact that there are some people who are better than you and stop being immature.
