Ok Rocko Sequoyah on this team rolled 2+2 for his Star skill roll.
I'm thinking along the lines of 'Frenzy' or 'Jump Up', but am open to suggestions.
Please explain your choice.
Thanks! |

I would think Jump Up would be huge for a treeman to have. |

Does he need block, already having Juggernaut?
I admit to being rather rookie-ish. So I'm willing to be educated. |

Pro, because flings (you might use him for TTM which a welf tree you wouldn't).
Then Block (less likely to be downed).
Then Jump Up. Good choice on a tree but the other two still edge it.
I'd never choose Frenzy, his movement makes it a liability and it prevents him taking Multiple Block. |

Snimm, yes. Much depends on the use, if you blitz a lot with that player then you obviously have less value out of block. But when blocked you're still going down on a both down, and that's where block adds great value.
Here it's a close call, but i'd take jump up. You just can't afford to have your trees trying to get up for endless turns.
Plus it opens the possiblity of piling on, which of course is great on trees. |

@kilinrax frenzy does not prevent taking multiple block.
Pro is kind of a waste on flings trees because they don't have loner.
And block, yeah you can't argue against block, I'd still pick jump up tho. |

Correct. It's prevents taking 'Grab'.
Which is why I'm leaning towards 'Jump Up' atm.
BUT...I'm still waiting to be swayed w/ a good argument   |

I don't see a reason why not to take block. Sure, he has juggernaut already, but block is still better, because it works defensively as well.
Jump up to get your tree faster on his feet again? But on ag1 it's awful. And with block you won't go down that fast anyway...
Frenzy on ma2? Seems like a recipe for disaster to me... and it's totally useless when your tree has taken root (that's why I like grab on trees too). |

AG 1 only affects jump up "blocks" as they require an agility roll...if you blitz with jump up it reduces the 3 movement cost for standing up which negates the treemans standing up roll due to having MA 2 in the first place... |

Frenzy should be on +Ma trees in my opinion as u will burn many re rolls on GFI's
Jump up is fine. but the only reason he should go down is from blocks. And safest most effective way to stop that.... is block.
If you wanna be quirky go dodge. Its a good defense and works amazing with BT
dont bother with pro. Without loner trees can effectively use re roll so its just a waste.
