How to build a Kroxigor

[BlackJesus]

Hello, I just leveled up my Krox on a fairly new lizard team and am wondering what I should take on his skill ( not doubles). I am personally thinking stand firm but some have suggested guard. Any suggestions are appreciated and thanks for the help!

Definitely Guard.

Depends on your opponent
Stand Firm against a lot of Elves/Skaven Guard against a lot of Bash teams.

I'd take guard first. It's just a better skill plus it frees the saurus up to take the block/mb/break tackle and even tackle they need to priortize.

Normal Skills

- Guard
- Stand Firm
- Break Tackle

Guard is the most useful because of the Krox's STR 5 and Prehensile Tail, so it's hard to move or get away from it.

Stand Firm is nice, keeps your line/wall in shape and Break Tackle prevents him from being stuck isolated (or break cages)



Doubles

- Block
- Pro
- Frenzy

Block first. Arguably better offensively, unquestionally better defensively. Pro second since is helps reduce Bonehead and can change bad rolls without wasting team RR's.

Frenzy only if you've gotten all the other skills above. Luxury skill but creates awsome cage breaking.

Why would you ever take a Frenzy on a Krox. Dodge is absolutely incredible with Stand Firm, and you also have a Tackle or Diving Tackle which combines well with his tail. Not that you'll get 3 doubles. Also, I would take a Grab over Break Tackle.

I'd avoid stand firm, getting knocked back means your krox is a little more mobile if the attacker doesn't follow up.

Guard, break tackle and juggernaut was the way I've gone, highly mobile krox coming through.

You can always choose to not use it.

Frenzy more of a luxury and getting it would be even less likely. Yes though on Grab - absolutely forgot about it.

Still would take Break Tackle over it since Krox is rather mobile with 6 MA and being able to base into the teeth of a cage with Guard and Prehensile Tails shouldn't be brushed offed.

Nobody has mentioned tackle. Clearly the 2nd choice for doubles

Over Block and Pro?

After block, for most big guys pro is a great 2nd, but a lizard needs tackle.

Tackle and tail are a great combo, so good that In certain leagues I would take tackle first even before pro. It makes staying in your TZ very dangerous and makes dodging away too risky. Catch 22 and a big problem for your opponent.

Hey XS and Val, how are you guys going? Playing in any Australian leagues these days?

One could argue Diving Tackle would be more beneficial if you're using it to tie up Agi dodgers. Down side is that a prone Krox is prone to fouls (mind you thick skull helps).

I want to tie up and kill them, tackle helps me do both and I dont really want to down a bone head player, failing the roll after self grassing can be super crippling.
