Tackle or Frenzy ?

Post by ssb »

Hello,

I am offered with a dilemna.

I am going to play an Underworld team with my Slaan team...

The player who gets a skill is a :
Slaan Receiver 7 3 4 7 Diving Catch, Very Long Legs, Jump, Block, Dodge

What do I pick for his next skill : Tackle or Frenzy ?

I don't know the statistics between tackle and Frenzy to put down a dodge player or a blodge player.

Any advice ?

I'd be inclined to say Tackle because if you don't knock down a gobbo it''ll be harder for it to get away next turn.

It depends... tackle is dual use in that it helps knock down players with Dodge, but also to make it harder for them to dodge away. Frenzy however just helps you knock down everyone.

Since Slann blitzers have diving tackle, you can use them to prevent Dodge players (and particularly AG3 dodge players) being as effective. So if you've got 2 or more of them you ought to be able to stop the gobbos moving much. That makes Frenzy a better choice IMO since then you can threaten the players without Dodge - and with a Slann Catcher you really threaten the sidelines as well.

As the matter is a bit more vast I have moved the post and extended it to : viewtopic.php?f=25&t=33983&p=600802#p600802

There are pro and cons for both.

Tackle
Pro : Good in your turn and your opponents turn, knocks players down
Con : You may face teams that do not have dodge and then it is useless.

Frenzy :
Pro : It will put players down, the opponent must stay away from the sidelines
Con : It can get you in half die situations.

My choice would be frenzy BTW :wink:
