First skill dubs for a Zon Bz

Post by swilhelm73 »

Ok, just rolled doubles first skill for a Zon Bz. I have another Bz with dauntless already, so what should I take for Rachel Weisz?

Sidestep and Stand Firm are a tossup on any sort of a player with STR access. I think sidestep is usually more annoying to your opponent but the extra dodging ability of Stand Firm offsets that nicely, making it a tough choice.

For a 'zon blitzer I'd go with Stand Firm just for the chance to try dodging into cages for those desperate plays and what not. It's entirely 50/50 however and pretty much up to personal preference IMHO.

You will probably need a second Dauntless player eventually (just one = target) but not yet.

I went for the frenzy, just from looking at your team, before i saw it as an option...

Frenzy is almost unparrelled in striking fear into an opponent, and great for making them seat up more central, leaving sides for your slippery 'zons to nip down.

I agree with that.
However you don't have any players with Tackle in your team, so Frenzy can be useful to get a second chance versus annoying catchers like Wood Elves Catchers or Gutter Runners.

I would go for stand firm. A zon blitzer with stand firm is quite good. Next skill would be guard I think. Then she is a pain.

bascially look at it from the point of view that the blitzers are the only ones on the team who can take stand firm on a doubles

the other options can be taken by linewomen on doubles

the exception being jumpup but the zon blitzers can't take that anyway so I don't know who the one person who voted for that was :/

I'd take Stand Firm every time, played in a WPS tourney against a Stand Firm Amazon Blitzer, it was the biggest pain in the arse. Since then i'd take it for an Amazon Blitzer on any double. You can dodge with impunity especially good for getting into the cage, and hold up even the strongest of opposition.

Stand Firm, by eliminating the hazards of dodging, is definitely the choice to take.
