Orc Blitzer 3rd skill

Post by Penwaaagh »

I am playing in a short league with 4 players (2nd season) : Skaven, Lizard, Ogre and my Orcs (last season had Amazon instead of Ogre)
My Orc team is as follows:
Black Orc 1
Black Orc 2
Black Orc 3
Black Orc 4
Blitzer 1 MIGHTY BLOW,
Blitzer 2 DODGE, SURE HANDS,
Blitzer 3 MIGHTY BLOW, GUARD,
Blitzer 4 MIGHTY BLOW, TACKLE, ??? GUARD or FRENZY,
Thrower ACCURATE,
Gobbo CATCH,
Lineman
Lineman
Troll

As you can see Blitzer 4 has a level up and I can't decide whether I want Guard or Frenzy.
I like the idea of frenzy as from game 1 I have sent this guy off hunting little guys, however my next game is against Ogres and I know I am short of Guard, so think this might be more useful for the team... (all the BOB's are 1 CAS away from level up).
So my question: Should I take Guard, Frenzy or other suggestion?

Either works. Ditto Stand Firm, against that opposition. Hard to go wrong. I'd probably be inclined to Guard, but whatever.

Cheers Matt, I do think Guard would be the "safer" option and help the team develop rather than himself (he has done nearly all the leg work so far :wink: )

Your opponents seem to have loads of Dodge and S2 pieces: Lizard (skinks), Ogre (snots), Skaven (GRs), I would go with Frenzy, to maximize your chance of taking them down.

He has tackle, so not so much an issue with dodgers.
My concern is being led somewhere I do not want to be... or normally I would not mind 1 dice blocking an Ogre (with help of course) getting the push back and then frenzying into a 2 dice against... I might find I would refuse the opportunity...

Frenzy. Just make sure you position him well, and IF you find yourself 2die-ing a BG, just do it. As long as it doesnt leave a gap you are good.
If you skull-out, too bad. But it's worth the risk, espescially if the BG doesnt have block. Maybe even worth using the reroll on...

You'd love to have 2 shots at taking down those STR2 players, trust me :)

Dull but mb tackle and PO is effective. He's ahead of the rest of them so it's not the end of the world is he continues to outpace the squad. Tackle frenzy sounds a waste as he's not going to want tackle on the sidelines. PO is brutish but it's very good

Guard mb tackle sf are all great skills so if you want a rounded squad pick any of these. If you want a combo or set or skills that complete the player in isolation I think PO for me. It's great against liz and sick vs agility sides. Guard is a better holistic skill for the team but that is not what you were asking
