Total confusion

Post by Darkson »

Ok, quick question here (my missus wants the phone line).

I'm frenzied and multiblock 2 players and get pow/pushback. One (B) has dodge, the other (A) doesn't and goes down.

1) Can i use M.Blow on A?

2) Do I still have to followup and block b?

3) If B goes down after the 2nd block, can I use M.Blow on him, even if I used it on A?

And to muddy the waters futher:

4) If I have Piling On, can I use it on A to avoid having to follow up?





I suppose basically the whole M.Blow/M.Block/Piling On/Frenzy combo needs to be loked at by the gurus.

(And I going for these skills on my 2 RO's in the RBBLL Skaven league... I hope. :D

1) Can i use M.Blow on A?
My opinion, yes
2) Do I still have to followup and block b?
Again yes, nice beard
3) If B goes down after the 2nd block, can I use M.Blow on him, even if I used it on A?
Again yes, my thats a long beard on u.
4) If I have Piling On, can I use it on A to avoid having to follow up?
I would say no, frenzy is mandatory, po is not.

*waits to see how close to the mark he is*

According to the most recent rules review, Frenzy cannot be used with Multiple Block.

Do a search for "Multiple Block." :)

Does that mean a frenzy player can take but never use multiblock, or that he can avoid the frenzy by multiblocking?

That's a darn good catch.

Unfortunately, it doesn't help out the WA's too much becasue they don't get assists.

:oops: Of course it can't I even answered someones question with this :oops:

Still, that's what happens when your missus is nagging at you. :roll:


OK, the question I really wanted to ask was (using above):

A is knocked over will B is still on teir feet. Can I use PO on A? I ask because PO is used if you knocked your opponent down, but as I used M.block i didn't manage to knock both over.

I'd assume yes, but wanted to check.


Sorry for the confusion.

I'm pretty sure you can choose to use Piling On against one player of a Multiple Block.

the text of mighty blow does not specifically state you may not use it more than once during your turn, as it does w/ skills such as break tackle, dodge, etc. however, you may not use frenzy and multiblock together. this makes #2 and 3 moot, as they can never occur. also, w/ #4, you wouldnt have to follow up, as you're not frenzied. so you could pile on the player you did knock down. but i thought that you have to follow up that player in order to do so.

What I'm wondering about is can I PO A if B is still standing ie do A+B both have to be knocked over so I can PO on one of them? Or does the fact B is still standing have no bearing.

Basically, which has precedent:- I haven't knocked my oppoent over (as my opponent was A+B) so I can't pile on, or I have knocked my opponent over (A) so I can?

If you knock one over, you can Pile On him even if the other did not fall. You would still need to follow up on the block of the knocked down player to do so though.

I'm not sure, but in my opinion from reading the Rules Review Q & A, it looks like it would be a waste to even take Mult. Block on someone w/ Frenzy. Because its states that you must use Frenzy, and you can't use Mult. Block w/ Frenzy, therefor you could never use Mult. Block if you had Frenzy. Is that Right?
Or Does the Rules Review mean that you must only use Frenzy if you make a Normal block (as stated under the skill). Then you could cancel Frenzy by making a Mult. Block, right?
