What sort of online league? Is it s random matchmaking one where you expect the team to get pretty big? In which case you will soon encounter hordes of claw making the av useless.

Move is a though, but not for the first skill. For a trollslayer mighty blow, even on a double is probably the best way to go for the first skill - *unless* you want to try and give dodge to everyone, in which case anytime a player gets a double, give them dodge.

Another option is sidestep to make crowd surfing easier.

Side-Step has advantages over Stand Firm for widezone action.

On the other hand MA helps also reaching the widezone to execute an surf Blitz. You still can get Stand Firm on a normal.

I do understand that MB gets him to skill up faster but you won't be able to roll another stat increase. I'm not a dwarf coach but I would reckon that any speed increase is golden on such a slow team.

BTW, the OP said he rolled 10, not double 5 so a double might not even be an option.

If you will be doing most of your blitzing with that guy and are considering taking Piling on later then the +MA is worth considering.

Increasing his hitting range is very nice and you can take MB next skill. I'd not bother with guard on him until later as you'll have plenty of that on other players.

Is the '10' result a 5 + 5 (i.e. a double) or a 6 + 4?

If it's not a double; Mighty Blow for sure.

If it is a double, then ignoring it and taking Mighty Blow is still a good idea, if you don't want that, Dodge, Side Step or Jump up (to combo with Piling on later) might work.

+AV is practically never worth it (and certainly isn't here), and +MA might have been nice on a 3rd, 4th or 5th skillup, but not now.

Disclaimer: my opinion of all things dwarf is well known :puke: . The rest of this post to be taken in this vein.

Do not try to be interesting, dwarves are dull, embrace it. Ginger t*ats job is to knock things over and then jump on them. AV is a waste of a skill slot early, MV has a place (speed kills) but puts what you want to get Mightly Blow, Pile On, further away.

As I said elsewhere I will not play this team because I prefer my self abuse to have a better pay off. That being said I see no reason to move away from

MB,PO,Tackle,SF,Jugs (For blitzing) last skill is whatever you like but frankly if you are still playing dwarves when one of these reaches legend then you need professional help.

I probably wouldn't even take a plus strength cos they have dauntless.

Short-term league (or team): Ignore it and take the MB.

Long-term league (or team): Take the MA, you can get MB next.

Short-term you need to get the damage down now. Long-term, the extra square on the blitz (or even just basic movement) will come in handy.

+MA would pay off once he was at 51 spps as long as he doesn't roll a double. Worth it?
I would skip for MB. Then take PO & Juggs and hope for a double for JU.
