Skaven linerat double after Wrestle

Baduk · Post by **Baduk** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 7:53 am

On my skaven team on the DS I'm skilling up my team quite evenly and my linerats all have wrestle or block. A wrestle linerat now rolled doubles and I gave him Guard but is that actually a good idea? with wrestle he'll be prone more often than with block. So eventhough he can just stand up and than assist with Guard that's only usefull during my turn I'd say.

Should I have given him Dodge instead (on a double)? And should his next skill be Fend (as the now-sticky Lrb5 first-skills-list says)?

either works, though wrestle doesn't go with guard as well as block

cases can be made for either guard or dodge

If your league has alot of strength, I'd be tempted to go with dauntless.

Guard. If he's prone, he can still stand up and assist, which is usually all you need to free a blitzer to make a more important play.

In general, guard is hard to go wrong with since Skaven need a way of stretching the field to make holes and avoid kill zones. Guard will help you get those 2d blocks without wasting another player's action for the assist.

Agreed, Guard.

I would prefer Dodge. Someone has to stay on the LOS, and it looks like this guy. Dodge works when you have lots of it.

I agree with your initial thoughts: Guard is much better with Block.

I think I'm blad I picked guard after all, especially since BB on the DS doesn't give you very hard time. Taking guard on several players has me blocking Chaos Warriors with GRs every turn.
