Killing them Orc-ly (To Tackle or not to Tackle)

[Runejack]

I admit it.

I made an Orc team so I could beat stuff up and not care when it happened to me! It's true!

Then I had to go and give a perfectly good blitzer Strip Ball. Why oh why?!

But I digress. I'm hoping to get some sage advice regarding this wee younger brother of the star of my orc team. I give you, "Chilito."

Orc Blitzer Block MBlow Frenzy +MA Strip Ball and now a regular skill up.

Here's his mates: http://www.brawl.bloodbowlleague.com/de ... p=ro&t=spo

So what I'm thinking is Tackle or Piling on as he's basically the backup bruiser to Nacho BelGrande. What's the wise choice? I expect to face Dodgy Bruise-y Scary Elves in the playoffs, but I've always felt you make a team not for specific matchups but more as a swiss army knife for all games. two tacklers does serem a bit lean, but Piling On sure clears that line of scrimmage! Is there a third option?

Thank you for the feedback!

Tackle, he has enough skills and it can be used actively and defensively.

Tackle if you want to win now. Piling On if you want to make Legend.

Juggernaut. Let me explain...

Since you have Frenzy, if you are blitzing someone was Block, you can push instead to get the second hit. Also, since you have Block, you can use him to hunt Wrestlers (especially those pansy Elves). Being a Frenzy piece already patrolling the sidelines, Stand Firm is of no use against this guy as well.

I think the synergies of Juggernaut with what you already have are strong.

Effectively, Juggernaut can get some more use out of Strip Ball, too
Not too eager on jugg usually, yet you are making a good case here

[mattgslater]

Good player for it. If you have enough Tackle, it's a good call.

[Coach Grievous]

Juggs is a good call, I'd say. I was thinking Tackle before I read that suggestion. Because he has Strip Ball (and Frenzy), you are pretty likely to Blitz with him, so for that reason Tackle isn't bad either since it makes him more effective. However, Juggs is just such a juicy option here (and it does the same trick of making him more effective at Blocking due to getting a second Block vs Both Down results).

Thanks for the great thoughts!
