Blood bowl 2 orc skills for goblin4/7/2024 ![]() Wrestle is really the skill that is key for this role and you get two shots at gaining it before adding Horns on the third increase. Do note that Horns will require a blitz action and becomes redundant if you end up starting the turn next to the opposing ball carrier and just do a standard block. Side Step will help you minimise that and work your way to either maximum safety or maximum annoyance. Again like normal it adds to hopefully keep them a live a bit longer, it’s very easy to get chain blocked a lot if you start the turn in the middle of an opponents cage. Side Step is generally never a bad skill to take, if you don’t knock the ball carrier over it gives you a chance to stick next to them, or if you do knock the ball loose you could perhaps go stand next to it before another team mate makes the pick up attempt. If you can sneak a Guard Goblin in as well then you could have an advantageous chance of knocking the ball loose. Taking Horns gives you that strength boost to at least equal all ST3 players (assuming you’ve marked up the cage corner players and they don’t have Guard). The downside to this is that you only have a low strength ST2. ![]() As they can get into a cage far easier than most players you can just run in and take a shot at the opposing ball carrier. Normal: Two Heads, Horns, Side Step, Diving TackleĪs usual you will start with Two Heads for that extra manoeuvrability and if they get a double on one of the first two skills you can go down this development route.With a Strength increase you will want to develop more into a blitzing roll, unless you get a double for Block or Wrestle then again they will be a high priority target for the other team. They will also have a better chance of landing if being thrown, though do you want a valuable player to get eaten by your Troll? Perhaps save that for must win games. So much in fact that if this happens you will find most teams will actually try and kill your mighty Goblin.Īn Agility increase will turn any Goblin into a MVP, unfortunately it does make having Two Heads a bit redundant, though you then have a ball carrier who can make their way through most defensive lines. Underworld teams aren’t the strongest and being able to dodge a Guard player into the cage ready for a hit on the ball carrier is something most teams would kill for. If you manage to get a second double skill then I would go for Guard. This will keep them alive for longer and gives you a great platform to build upon. Much like their standard counterparts, any Goblin that rolls doubles will want the extra protection afforded to them with either Block or Wrestle. If they don’t have any doubles to make that easier then go with Diving Tackle and they become useful players to screen off running lanes or for marking players. ![]() It can also keep them alive a little bit longer by making it harder for opposing teams to push them next to a team mate in order to chain block them.īeyond this point you will start looking at specialising them into a more specific role. This will make them far harder to shift out of the way, either from an assist purpose in the blocking game, marking a receiver, or when creating a barrier to get in the way of advancing opponents. If they do live to a second skill without having rolled doubles then Side Step is the next best option. I wouldn’t get overly attached to them as they are liable to get hit quite a lot, but as it’s only a single skill away and you have a lot of Goblins on the roster they are easy to replace. I would go as afar as saying that if you take anything else you aren’t making the most of that player. If you need a player on a hard to get to square for an assist, as long as it’s within their movement range, there is a great chance a Two Headed Underworld Goblin can weave his way through the tackle zones to lend a hand. Add in the fact they also have Dodge means you can typically get them where they are the most useful. Combine this skill with having Stunty already and they can pretty much dodge anywhere they please on a 2+ roll. With normal access to mutation skills any time you get a skill increase on an Underworld Goblin I would give them Two Heads.
