[Norse] Norse skills

[Ice]

My AG 4 Berserker, with blodge and POMB skilled up with a normal skill and I'm not sure what to get him.

A guard lineman also skilled up with double 5's, i'm leaning towards dodge there.

Berserker: FUMBBL :: Ferretsmasher

Lineman: FUMBBL :: Kelby III

Team: FUMBBL :: Ice Fangs II

[Hoverdog]

I'd get either tackle, guard or stand firm (if you're using him for surfs) for the berk, and dodge for the lino.

[Ice]

I use him for everything, receiver, blitzer and surfer if anyone is able to be surfed, but he's mostly a receiver as his friend Ferretcrusher (the other zerker) has ST 4

Dodge for the Lino and Guard for the Zerker.

Norse need to get as much Guard as possible to keep winning the bashing war.

[Ice]

it's not so bad for me in the bashing game, he makes my 3rd guard and I have 4 ST 4 players and a ST5 player, now i just have to get a few skills on my ulfwereners (I've pretty much forgotten them since my Blodge, MB, break tackle ulf got killed)

Thanks for the help

I would say, roughly in order:

Tackle - If you're facing dodgy teams and don't otherwise have much. Don't want to overdo it, but having at least some makes a big difference.

Guard - If you're short. I'd want probably 4, but then again Berserkers aren't really where you want it.

Stand Firm - Useful so you don't have to cover him when sidelining, and combines excellently with Jump Up so that you can often get a free counter block even if you're knocked down. I'd have taken this before Piling On to be honest, as Jump Up + Stand Firm is such a nice combo.

Juggernaut - If you're facing enough Wrestle, Stand Firm, or Fend players. Probably don't want more than one on the team though.

I think you already have the best skill a Norse Team needs... surviving !

[Ice]

Surviving is a pretty important skill

And I now have 4 guard people, a blodge lineman, a ST 4 pro lineman, that berzerker and a blodge sidestep diving tackle runner

[Ice]

I can't believe i'm even considering this, as i spent so much effort in keeping these guys alive.....

but should i let some of these guys go to keep my team trim?

keep in mind that my W/D/L record means nothing as i don't spend THAT much effort in winning

it's just that I don't have many players to put on the LOS, which means my stars/expensive players get to be hit for freem, which is not very good considering their armour and i'm about to suffer SE because of all my, IMO, good players which stops me buying more sacrificial linemen

This will be just until i get lot's of linemen to protect my players, because i like legendary players

[Nikolai II]

Well, if the options are "sacking your start players" or "risking your star players on the LOS" then I'm all for the second option. At least they might survive a couple of rounds on the LOS.

Once they get permanent injuries you can fire them. And if they MNG you'll get lower SE for the next game
