Doubles on Elf Union Catcher

[JeffVader]

I got doubles as the second skill on my catcher and would like an opinion as to whether grab guard or dodge.
I already have guard on another catcher at the expense of dodge and wonder if it's better to go with dodge or some other skill via doubles.
I am leaning towards dodge as the catchers are dam expensive.

Do you have any mighty blow on your team? With movement 8 they make damn fine Blitzers and I'd be tempted to get that as the level up.

Thought about it but with arm 7 they have a big target on their back as it is without MB. It would be a consideration if I already had blodge but just block ...not worth the gamble

He's movement 8, easily get out the way behind other Elves following a Blitz so that he won't get hit.

I had a mighty blow Helf Catcher who absolutely wreaked, didn't get dodge until 4th level after Tackle, I'd have given him piling on if he'd ever got a 2nd double.

You've given one Guard who will defo have a short life from basing up, but this one has the chance of being a proper killer!

Agreed though I am thinking more about when he is streaking downfield with the other 3 that someone will be more inclined to nail him at that point

Ah the old run half your team behind the opposition and hope they all don't die play, even though I play a lot of Pelfs I tend not to do that, and even then you could set it up so the MB was one of the safer potatoes.

Haha I do have a strategy to it and don't normally belt them up there with no plan but I do love that nerves of steel on these guys the holy grail of elf bull lol

Blanket NOS is pretty great, it would be a very late if not at all pick on other Elves so it's a nice bonus.

Do you use a Thrower at all? I find using one of the catchers a better option. I will giving the mb a shot and see how long he lasts

[Kejiruze]

Definitely grab a Thrower, if I'm 2 turning I'll pick up with a Thrower, pass to a Catcher on the half way line and hand off to another Catcher for the score, with a Surehands Thrower that's all 2+ actions with a built in reroll.

Throwers aren't a piece I care about though, the stars are the Blitzers and Catchers.

Yes think I will grab one.

Its Pro Elves-- they ALL have a big target on their back. Might as well get it if you think it'\ll be useful, imo.
