I myself gave leap to a gutter runner with a +1 agi… I then mixed it up with dauntless. The look on the other guy’s face when a gutter runner leaps through his cage to get 2 dice on a chaos warrior with the ball… yes the dauntless is a bit touch and go, but when it works it’s a dream.

Leap can allow pass blockers to get into position for the intercept. It means you can maximise the three squares when pass blocking and not have to manoever around players.
In the past I had it on both Wardancers in the past and it works great. I am looking at using Pass Block and Leap on a couple of Elf Catchers.

Leap gives you greater freedom of movement when doing a pass block move. With only three squares of movement the other coach can force your pass blocker to have to do a lot of really hard dodges. If you have Leap though you can get out a lot easier.

Can someone elaborate please on what makes pass block handy with leap? I’m just not putting 2 and 2 together here and its not making any sense to me what so ever.

Unimaginative is also almost always more reliable.

I do have a tendency to try things just to see how they work. sometimes there’s a deeper plan, sometimes not

Pass block on a dancer is not as silly as you’d think though, since they come ready equipped with strength three, block and dodge they are far harder to shrug off than a catcher, and with just tackle and shadowing added they become an absolute handful for opposing recievers. If you use a catcher for the role, their reciever can quite often catch successfully and then blitz off the catcher to score. They cant do that to a dancer very easily (generally)

Leap/guard is incredibly handy and you’re right on the doubles for guard option.

I dunno, pass block is really only handy if you’ve got at least two players with it, if you’ve got one the other coach will remove them ASAP but with multiple it can be quite troublesome.

Funny how even with the same race, people end up with totally different teams.Pass block on a dancer would never cross my mind.

For wood-elves, I’d say best combo with leap is guard. I never pick leap as the 1st skill however. My AG5 players gets leap, then either block/sure hands/dodge or guard on a double.

But that’s just me I guess, I tend to be rather unimaginative with my doubles with my elf teams. I pick guard on lineelves or catchers, no matter what unless I already have 4.

Leap plus pass block is definately useful.

Most commonly you end up with it by a wardancer, but i’ve occasionally picked up both on a wood elf catcher also, it works quite well

My current wood elf team has a dancer with catch, pass block, +1AG and shadowing

Not the best combo against strength teams, but its a nightmare for other agility teams to deal with.

My Wood Elf Team has a Str4 Wardancer.

She is so awesome for leaping into a Cage and throwing a 2-Dice Block on the ball carrier (assuming that some linemen have cancelled the defensive assists).
