Really tough? With those two in the party, plus, I assume, at least a couple others with some combat and magic skill, what counts as really tough? Berserk does nothing to improve his Close Combat ability, it just ups his edge, so all you have to worry about is the enemy's AP total. And if he's putting Trollkin against you, it had better be a whole load of them! And in lots of separate groups too, for multiple opponent penalties. It's the Narrator's job to balance the opposition against the PCs, and it looks like your Narrator is having a problem balancing things. Don't any of you have any attack ability bar physical combat? No magic, no spirits? The first combat I set on my players was Spirit Combat (they should have expected it, they know I believe Animism is the superior path), and they got dumped on... one of the best fighters was all set to be transformed into a mouse (don't ask...). Just thrashing around with swords is unimaginative at best...

It looks more and more to me as though it is being used wrong, by using it to boost ability, not edge... Let's say he has Death Song Berserk 5W... that gets him +5 edge. Great against Trollkin, but so what? It's his ability that wins exchanges, and the fact he has to bid high every exchange. He's inflicting less than 1/3 extra AP loss thanks to his berserk, if he loses even once he's down to starter character AP, twice and he's weak.
