I need advice for an inherited undead team
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 8:16 pm
When we started our league we added an option for a coach to take over someone else's team should the original coach decide to retire them.
After a disappointing season our only undead team was going to be retired until I asked to take them over, giving my mighty halflings a year off to celebrate a mid-table finish to last season. The current team as inherited and the skills I'm thinking of taking on their next advance (should they live that long) are:
Mummy with Guard and Juggernaut (19 spp) - Grab Block
Mummy with Block (10 spp) - Grab Frenzy or Jump Up
Ghoul with Block, Pass and Catch (49 spp) - Wrestle Leader
Ghoul with Block (12 spp) - Strip Ball Guard
Ghoul with Leap (13 spp) - Block Nerves of Steel
Ghoul - Block Sure Hands
Wight with Guard and Sure Hands - Mighty Blow Dodge/Side Step
Wight - Mighty Blow Dodge or Side Step
Skeleton (2 spp) - Wrestle Dodge
Skeleton - Wrestle Dodge
Skeleton - Wrestle Dodge
Zombie (5 spp) - Dirty Player Guard
Zombie (5 spp) - Kick Guard
Zombie - Dirty Player Guard
Zombie - Wrestle Guard
Where there are no SPP listed they have no SPP. There are 2 cheerleaders on the sidelines and 5 rerolls.
I'm thinking that as much Guard, Wrestle and Dodge on the LoS as possible will help them keep their shape and either on their feet or both down. Grab will feed victims to the DPs while the Wights need Mighty Blow to make their blocks count (and get them to their next skill quicker). The idea behind giving the star ghoul Leader is to allow me to drop one or two rerolls and lower the team value to get even more inducements.
I've only ever played against Undead (and none too successfully if I'm honest), so would be grateful for any pointers if any of these skill choices are as crazy as giving that ghoul Leap in the first place.
If it helps, we're playing LRB5+experimental and my opponents next season are TV183 Humans, TV199 Orcs, TV204 Dwarfs, TV193 High Elves, TV179 Dark Elves and TV156 Necromantic. We come in at TV161 so I'll be getting a fair few inducements in early matches at least unless we get the Necro team as our first match.
