ST5 warrior with break tackle, next skill?

Post by Da Crusha »

Hi guys I was wondering what ur opinions might be on my next skill for my ST 5 chaos warrior that already has break tackle. I rolled a normal skill. Was thinking about block, wrestle, tackle, strip ball, sure hands, 2 heads, big hand or extra arm. Am actually leaning towards two heads for an ultimate cage cracker but I want to see what others think first.

Do you have already a dedicated ball carrier? (like a Ag4 player or someone with surehands?)
If no, i would give him surehand (then block).

anyway, you are never wrong with block...

Block will get him to the next level faster. Guard will likely be of more use to the team.

Crusha - good question. What environment do you play in and do you face a lot of caging teams?

I do already have a block/ sure hands beastman. Ya block is always a solid choice.

Smeborg: well, actually that season just finished and we are working on another season, he picked up another skill during the championship game (we won it!) right now they aren't playing. Typically the guys in my league always cage.

Then a cage-breaker build might well be in order, given that you have already started down this path. 2-Heads would be good, the question is do you take Wrestle first? Don't forget Horns too at some stage (along with Tackle). That would give you a ST6 Blitz dodging at 3+ into a standard cage, giving 2 block dice against a ST3 ball-carrier even with 2 Guards. Skill order will depend on the type of ball carriers you typically face, I suggest (e.g. what ST they are, do they have Blodge, etc.).

I dream of this kind of build, but I have never done it. I am not sure it is optimal in TV terms (only results will tell), but is certainly sounds like fun. I am guessing that it would force your opponents into playing in a different style (double screen, or keeping the ball back, maybe passing plays etc.).

All the best.

Do what you will but I'd take block. It will get used way more.
