Hello all,

Looking for some guidance on the next two skills for my 'Umans as the dice have thrown my plan sideways.

https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=793699


Tinker Toys - Blitzer
https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=10429487

Has AG4, Guard, Tackle - just rolled 11 so +AG, Mighty Blow or Stand Firm? He's been a primary scorer for me due to AG4 so would Sure Hands be worth it to pickup and hold onto the ball? The plan was Mighty Blow until the 11 happened. I have a good amount of Guard so Dauntless really isn't on the menu but I am thinking about Frenzy.

Knex - Catcher

https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=10436028

Has Guard and Block - just rolled double 5s so have too many choices!!!! +MA, +AV, Stand Firm? The plan was Side Step but this has thrown me off but I'm leaning towards +MA.

Would appreciate a recommendation and a brief outline of the reasoning behind it.

Thanks all

AG5 dodges and picks up balls on a 2+ in a TZ. God, yes.

The catcher needs +MA. I don't know if I would take guard on a catcher but since you did, you may as well make him more mobile to get the guard where you need it..... He will probably crash and burn soon since you took guard and must plan on putting him in harms way though.

There is a reason elves take +Ag.

Shame about the early Blitzing skill selections, but he can be helpful on defense. Even tho' he needs doubles for Dodge, he can get Sure Hands next and become the loose ball Vacuum Cleaner after he pops the ball loose.


+MA on your fastest positional? Yes, please.

+ag and +ma. No brainer both.

If you don't think these skill-ups are cost-effective, take them anyway. AG5 in a human team is something so rare that you have to enjoy it.

Thanks all.

AG and MA it is.

@Smeat - what do you mean? Is there a better way to go than what I chose?

i think he means that it might not be the best synergy with AG5, although i don't think it is that bad.

In the hindsight, you could have built a better agility specialist, but you don't choose nuffle's gifts.

Ah, now I get it. Yeah, guess I could have done something different with the 2nd or 3rd skill choice. Tackle was a definitely defensive choice as I've been facing a lot of dodge lately.
