Gobbo's 2nd skill - doubles

Boar Bolter · Post by **Boar Bolter** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 12:07 pm

I won my rival Undead team yesterday 1-0, and my goal-scoring goblin "Bhagga da Dart" was also the MVP of the game that pushed him to 17 SPP:s. I was lucky, and rolled double 4s. Bhagga already has Catch, and I think I would pick Fend now, because after next improvement roll he can get Side Step. I prefer bashy game, and late turn TD:s.
So, what do you think, Fend or something else?

I'll be boring, take block.

If he is to be a catching threat, then making him a blodger is the best move.

That was my thought, also.... Fend is not gonna help against a double-down... and you can relatively, easily dodge away from most problems....

Guard is statistically the best bet for cage busting. Better to dodge in two goblins than one with Block, Dauntless etc.

Guard would make him more generally useful, though it would also make him a prime target for a good kicking.

So I'd take Block. Boring, but effective.

Guard could be good on a Gobbo. The next one to get doubles should get Wrestle, which is better than block when it comes to knocking the ball lose.

But that Gobbo already has Catch, and Guard/Wrestle don't combo very well with Catch. So you have to chose if you want to get a skill that helps the team in general, or get a skill that helps this catcher.

So I'd go Block on this Gobbo, since he already has Catch.

Next Gobbo doubles, Guard on one, Wrestle on the other.

I know a coach that puts Stand Firm on his human catchers with doubles... now THAT's irritation!!!!

What team?
Orcs or Pact? Block.
Underworld or Goblins? Guard.

I would propably go with Wrestle as it can be more annoying than Block and he has easy access to Jump Up.
