[Team Blog] TT - Midway Mutants [Underworld]

[Purgatory]

As a fellow Underworld coach, I respect your decision to pick Guard on both Blitzers as their first skill. It'll make them more like team players in the long run, and it's a solid pick IMO. I myself, however, couldn't pass the opportunity to at some point have MB, PO, Claw and Horns on the same player, so I picked Claw as my first skill (the other Blitzer is, unfortunately on 0 SPP after three games).

I agree with Nikolai on the inducement picks, but I'd be tempted to pick Glart Smashrip if I were you. A Chainsaw is always fun, however, especially since he has many Block and ST4 pieces.

Having played a fair bit of Underworld on FUMBBL one killer (MB, Claw, PO) and one support (Guard, Stand Firm) on the Blitzers works absolute wonders.

I played last night, and won 2-1 I took Glart the last time I played them, he did ok but didn't cause my opponent the same amount of problems as Nobbla seemed to. Not that he did much other than a few stunned beastmen, but he did make him commit to trying to take him out, which left the rest of my team free

Scored a classic too I set up after equalising in the second half, rolled a blitz and suddenly Snowball (AG 4 goblin) was flying through the air! Caught the ball, survived the blitz and two 2+ dodges and I was winning

The table topping Necro team is up next, at the moment I've got 190k inducements, but that could go up to 260k if he decides to buy his second reroll. I'm thinking probably the wizard, and then babes to make up the rest if he does buy the reroll, but I could also afford to squeeze Fezglitch or Bomber in instead of babes...

Any thoughts?

His Team

My Team

Thanks

Just found out he's sacked his 2 STR blodge ghoul and bought a RR, so I'll have 170k of inducements

Time to try out Skitter Stab-Stab for speed? (And for hunting ghouls) ?

Also I think your team name is why my Midway Monsters were turned into Midway Mutants when I rerolled them. Well, the new name worked well, since the first try went 0-0-1 and the second one has gone 2-0-0

[greymurphy42]

Good to see the name's working for you

Looks like it's a toss up between Skitter and the wizard. I've got a couple of days to think it over as it looks like we're playing Wednesday. I beat them 3-1 when we played MD3, my third TD coming after his ghoul fumbled a long pass, but obviously both teams have developed a bit since then. I don't remember him caging it up, so possibly Skitter would have a slight edge over the wizard.

At least if you don't mind scoring with Skitter, then he'll probably be of great use. (And for blitzing down that Blodge/SH ghoul - at least in theory he can get several tries)

I second skitter on paper at least, it seems like he's a good way to deal with Blodging Ghouls, especially since you lack Tackle in the roster.

[greymurphy42]

The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards Skitter. Especially as in my UKBBL league match my opponent blasted my cage with a fireball and missed everyone...

As you say, he'll give me a bit extra against his blodge players and pace to burn can't be bad. He'll also give me someone to possibly earn garbage time completions for the two players on 15 SPP.
