The thing is,  with hard-hitting teams i thought that the strategy was NOT to get in close contact, thereby only allowing them one block each round.. i have tried a couple of times putting 4 players at each corner of the cage and leaping in with my witch elf. This strategy only works 1/4 times and gets 5 players “killed” afterwoods. In my opinion it is not about breaking the cage persay!! it is about preventing the offence from running down the clock.. I have built my cage breaker(wardancer) with strip ball, and side step as extra skills... force the cage to the sidelines and keep pressuring the offence to move up to avoid a turn over. ...do this and you should still have time to score before the end of the half/game..with an agile team there is no reason that you shouldnt be able to force the cage towards the end zone within 4 turns.. if they go slow, take the ball, even with assists against you (guard) with block/dodge/leap/sidestep, you can still on a failed block cause some serious trouble in moving the cage. Thank coach awesome article!!!

If you are against high agility players with leap, or anyone else who can get into the cage easily, then it helps to have at least two Guard players on opposite corners. Other than that though, it doesn't really matter a great deal.</p> <p>It is more important to just have the cage secure and the rest of your team mates in a position to help advance the cage in the next turn. You have to be wary of  what the other team will attempt to break up the cage and also position to make that harder, or easy as possible to recover from if they succeed.</p> There are no hard and fast rules, you use whoever is in the best position to do so.
