Skill for Pro elf lineman with +MA

Post by suxxess »

I'm in my first bb-tourney & having great difficulties deciding on this skill-up.

The rest of the team is rather weak, only lvl is one catcher with +MA, one of my blitzers died first match & havn't had chance to fill his spot yet.

Team: 1 blitzer, 2 catchers, 1 thrower & 6 linemen, 3 re-rolls.

Upcoming matches vs: Amazons, Norse & Orcs

Take Block!

Is this a Cyanide on-line game?

I do not have computer game but every one talks about 'leveling' in the game which is why I asked.

Sounds like a candidate for Block or Dodge.

take fend and use the extra movement to make the most of your separation.

Well wrestle sounds like it could be a good choice, never tried it before.
My thought is that he and the MA9 catcher run thru the opponents line and for him to protect the catcher, might be possible wrestle could do that...

I'd take Dodge to make the most of his extra movement AND keep him alive. Wrestle after that.

This is a good plan, especially if you have or intend to get a whole lot of Dodge. If you're not a Dodge-Spammer, but like it on positionals, it's still a good plan; between him, your kicker, four Catchers and two Blitzers, that's your whole backfield. Dodge > Wrestle if you're planning to advance him, and I'm guessing that's your intent: if so, you probably intend to preserve him, and Dodge > Wrestle for that, too (unless you're playing Dwarfs). If you're not into Dodge, get Wrestle, so you need only one Wrestle Catcher and can give Block to the other three. I know I said Block earlier, but I was thinking High Elves: this guy is no tougher than a Catcher.

I'd recommend working as hard as you can to get survival skills across your line now, because your crowded backfield will make it hard to score.

I don't see him getting a 3d skill this tourney. We play in 6-team groups and with random MVP selection, he have just been a lucky fella and gotten to his 2d skill-up in 2 matches.

Now of course I see that that info is kind of vital for me to get a good advice.

And thx a lot, but now I'm even more confused than before. :wink:

Edit: I ended up taking wrestle lets hope it plays out well.

Thx again for all the help.
