Suggestions for Orc Blitzer 4th skill

So, Cyanide league, team consists of 3 blitzers with kill skills, 4 practically new black orcs (none have guard), ineffective thrower, couple of line chaff, new goblin and over skilled but no block troll. No kick, leader or strip ball on team. The 4th blitzer has sidestep, frenzy and guard. Has just got his next skill.

What to get? He normally lives in the widezones or is in the middle of things using his guard.

SF? Synergies with Frenzy and Guard.

He has sidestep already, so I would have thought SF is sub optimal.

Ah, missed that.

Then MB or Tackle.

I do have the 3 killer blitzers who have MB and tackle. The league I am in is fairly dodge light though that might change if I am promoted.

I can imagine taking fend to increase the annoyance level? Maybe thick skull as he is the most unlucky blitzer in the team normally getting ko'd the first time he is hit!

Stand Firm lets you keep him where you want him. Side Step is awesome, lets you move him in there when he gets hit, but Stand Firm means he stays where you put him. I think they combo really well together.

Mighty Blow. No such thing as enough. Failing that, Fend or Tackle. But both are wrong choices in the face of Mighty Blow. Tackle after. Just 'cause the other three have it means nothing.

My first thought was about MBlow or Tackle, as others before me.
But if you want to try something less common, you can take a stab at Juggernaut: combo with Frenzy (and SStep) for maximum crowd-surfing

1. Juggernaut - good with frenzy if you blitz

2. Pro - great when you wan't to turn pushback into pows ;-)

Pro... Nah :)

Considered Juggs but normally the pile on blitzers are blitzing, for this chap it is rare he is more of a spoiler.

Sack your thrower and give blitzer sure hands...?

MIGHTY BLOW AND TACKLE. There is no other build option for this player at this point. Unless you get a stat increase, of which I would only take +ST.

Who cares if they're all killers....they're orcs. :orc:

My choice would be :
1/ Mighty Blow
2/ Tackle
3/ Fend (it's really for good with sidestep and guard, already tested this combo on a proelves blitzer).
4/ Juggernaut (it's good with frenzy, and/or against wrestlers)

Juggernaut for me, adds some variety. If your other blitzers weren't all MB and Tackle then I'd go for one of them though. None are bad choices though.
