double on CW, what to take?

hi,

rolled a double for my CW. it´s his fourth skill, so far he got Block, +1ST, +1ST

my thoughts so far were: Dodge, Stand Firm, Tentacles or the classic Claw, RSF

Don't give him Claw, with ST5 Piling On would be a much better way to break armour. How about RSC now and Piling On for the next skill?

BAH, with STR 6 AND Block, Tentacles is THE Skill!

Check this thread, very similar:
viewtopic.php?t=8713

I'll copy the stats for STR6 tentacles:
Hold ST2 player: 91,7% (yeah, pests like Gutterrunners, WE catchers or Skinks)
Hold ST3 player: 83.3% (almost everything else that can be receiver or carry a ball)
Hold ST4 player: 72.2% (Vampires or odd ST+ receivers)
Hold ST5 player: 58.2% (Vamp Lords, if needed)
Hold ST6 player: 41.7% (treehugger!)

Got to go with Tim here. Tentacles will really hurt flair teams.

If your league is dominated by bashing teams I'd be tempted by Frenzy, RSF or Stand Firm.

If there is a lot of Elves or Skaven in your league, go for tentacles, otherwise I'd say Frenzy.

I have to say, the case for Tentacles looks pretty conclusive!

But Horns might be useful, or perhaps Very Long Legs - a MV 6, ST 6 player. Again

Forget it, get Tentacles!

No horns with chaos you have enough horn players, you can only use one per turn so it would be waste of a trait.

Definately tentacles. Later advances would be foul app on doubles and pass block (say hi to the catcher).
