Orc Troll 4th Skill

[Der_Doodle]

Hi my Orc Troll skilled up again.
So far he has Guard, Stand Firm and Grab. Now he rolled AGAIN a normal skill up.
What would you give him:

-Piling On
-Multi Block
-Strong Arm
-Thick Skull
-Juggernaut

Or fire and rebuy.

From my point of view none of the skills above sound really worth it.
Piling On means I use his Standfirm and Guard and need to pass Really Stupid to stand up.
Multi Block without Block just means 2x 2d Blocks without Block on a Loner (hello turnover)
Juggernaut hmm i think I havent made a Blitz with him in any of his 30 matches an most likely will neber
Strong Arm Hmm I have a goblin but so far never bothered to Throw him
Thick Skull migth be usefull to keep him on the pitch but is t worth it?

On a side note my next match goes against some Undead with a Dirty Player 2 ST4 Ghouls and a ST4 AG4 Wigth. If I keep the troll he has 250k inducements if I fire and rebuy he only has 170k inducements

Break Tackle?

Break Tackle?

+1

Fire...

Do you need him next game? Orcs are fine without if you have a bunch of guards... Cut the inducements down to below wizard then!

[Buggrit]

170k inducement isn't below wizard (150k)

[Der_Doodle]

I think I can survive without the guard for a bit.
My 4 BoB's have Block and Guard (1 Sidestep 1 Standfirm) and 3 of my Blitzers have guard (1 Sidestep 1 Standfirm)

[Penwaaagh]

Without Block I think I would fire him

[Genghis]

170k inducement isn't below wizard (150k)

It's not, but if he fires the troll and doesn't replace him, he only gives up 60k.

[Der_Doodle]

Playing without a Troll?

That sounds strange

[Drool_bucket]

Cut and re-buy.

You have more than enough Guard to deal with other STR teams and can overwhelm most others without the Troll.

I'd avoid giving up the wizard and re-buy (opponent dependent) after your next game.

Fire and rebuy
any other skill will be useless. you only need guard and stand firm, other skills are not TV efficient unless you have block

[mattgslater]

Format? If you're playing perpetual and winning now isn't a big deal, take PO and build him up to 76. Then if he doesn't double, cut him. If you want to win right away, you can cut and re-buy. Probably the latter.

[Chris]

What incidentally is the team? Do you have 12+ players? Just firing the troll should surely drop you down some 170k to 80k. Even if you need a lineman/journeyman for the game that only puts you up to 130k - still no wizard. I'd much rather rely on 7 guarders than have a rookie troll meaning I get zapped and give up a touchdown.
