Second skill on War Dancer with Mighty Blow?

Post by el Superbeasto »

As the title says, I'd like some advice on the second skill choice of my MB war dancer.
Strip ball is an obvious choice, but as can be seen in attached picture, the second War Dancer already has Strip Ball, so I'm wondering, if there is a better one? I'm personally thinking Side Step..? (Tackle would be another option, but I'm playing in a league with very little dodge so far.)

Next match is against Necromantic - for which he will not be available - and then there are five matches left in the following order:
  • Chaos Dwarf
  • Dark Elf
  • Chaos Pact
  • Norse
  • Necromantic
All help appreciated! :D

Oh yes, forgot to mention Frenzy as a considered option. Thanks! :wink:
Just wondered, whether it wouldn't lose some of it's value without Side Step first?

Tackle, regardless of how much Dodge you have coming up. You may only need it once but you will NEED it. :)

He he, thanks for the Tackle advice, but as written it's a very(!) Dodge light league. Except for the Necromantic team (which I won't play against for quite some time) there's only two players with Dodge. Both on the Dark Elf team, and I won my last game against them 4-0, so I honestly don't fear them very much. :lol:
Thinking about it, what I really need is a useful skill for my games against Norse and (a nasty) Chaos Pact. These are the two hard matches coming up.

A general question: Is having Strip Ball on both wardancers such a bad thing? With the right use, can't it be ratcher hard to play against?

I would take tackle rather than a second Strip Ball, frenzy is an interesting option too, particularly in a dodge free environment.

If you don't want Tackle take Frenzy.

Thanks for all your advice, guys.
How come there's so little love for Side Step? I thought that would be the obvious choice.

Because you want to maximize the impact of your Mighty Blow and Frenzy helps to achieve that by increasing the number of knock-downs you get.

If you already had frenzy, then sidestep would be logical....
