[Team Blog] Formerly Known As Dead

[Tergara]

Good evening sports fans! I've come to tell you of that wonderful team made up of stars from yesteryear and today, Formerly Known As Dead. They are a 'fresh' team of undead just enrolled in Crunch Cup. They've played two matches so far and have demonstrated that, currently, the only time they can win is if the opponent is stuck in port! However, they have started to develop and put together that lovely team that undead are well known, with no lingering injuries.

The players

Zombies x4 no skills
Flesh Golemx2 no skills
Wightx2 one w/ guard other at skill up
Ghoulx2 No skills
Werewolfx1



Current Record: 1-0-2 having been admined a victory and losing rather horribly to pro elves and the norse death match where Billy Joel was wlaking in his sleep and died.

The system in cyanide records like this win - draw - loss

Also, that team isn't Undead.

Yeah I was posting from memory at work. I'm used to W-L-D system for that. However I did discover that sadly my second wight is not getting guard. However, both my flesh golems are both 1 casualty away from skilling up. Sweet delicious block for them!

Apparently my elation for thinking that I had a chance against the norse made nuffle turn against me. There were a LARGE number of armor breaks against me in the first half and by the time the second half was over, there were only like 3 players of mine left on the pitch. This was my first real opportunity to play the norse at low tv with a bashing team and it certainly hurt. A number of times I'd have been saved if I'd had one simple skill up.

Casualties from that game include a wight with a fractured arm and one zombie dead (the first casualty I should have known from then on it was going bad).

So...after the match with the Norse got a level up conundrum. My wight with Guard is MNG and my other wight got his first skill up and its a double! I was wondering whether getting guard asap was more important then the ever popular blodge. I'm leaning towards blodge myself, but not a hundred percent.

It really depends on how you use your wights. In my necros I use dodge on one of my wights. They get hit a lot and the dodge protects him. Guard is great... but Dodge in the long term is good.

But... if you never dodge. If you play in very close fighting... then guard might be better.

I'm probably a bit late to the party, but I'm keen to try Jump Up as first skill on a Wight, followed by Mighty Blow and Piling On.

With the lack of block on the team I'm not too keen at the moment of going for a killer wight. Instead I'll go with dodge to increase survivability. Plus it lets me do some more insane passing/running plays with the wight.
