![]() While the overwhelming majority of human coaches tend to go 4 blitzers at a minimum, very few will start with 2 catchers and go above, sometimes not even field any! However, Catchers provide the human team their speed and "agility" gameplay. ![]() While on the surface level Human Catchers are fairly straight forward, many people irk to use them as they only have Str2 and Av 8+. Primary Skills: Block, Side Step, Sure FeetĮasily the most underrated positional in the human team and perhaps among the most underrated in the game. For Bash teams it depends on the particular matchup and roster, but since in BB2020 the thrower got a nice buff to throwing, he can still act as a good primary carrier. Generally speaking against Agility teams like elves, the thrower should be your primary ball carrier. Fairly straight forward piece, should be used to carry the ball and throw it in emergencies. One should be enough to start a team with. The Thrower comes with a reliable starting kit of sure hands and pass, giving him an in-built reroll for both picking up and throwing the ball. Developing them is straight forward, ideally guard first followed by tackle, guard allowing you to fight bash teams more efficiently and tackle to stop dodgers.ĭuring particularly rough matches, they can also be used as semi catchers or even as ball carriers if necessary. Generally you want Blitzers on defense to act as both scrummers and safeties, ideally two to three supporting the front with one at the rear. With great speed, block and decent agility and armour, your human blitzers will be playing a wide variety of roles from protecting the ball carrier to getting stuck in on the scrum. Human Blitzers are an exceptionally good positional and the human team starts with four of them! Never ever start a human team without four human blitzers. Skill Choices: Guard, Break Tackle, Mighty Blow, Tackle Lets take a look at some of their positionals. Keeping this in mind you can get a lot out of the human team. As humans you are one of the very few teams who can switch tactics mid drive on a whimĭo NOT engage bash teams in a heavy scrum fest unless you want to loseĭo NOT engage agility teams in a touchdown shoot out, you will loseĪt a minimum, start with 1 Thrower and 4 blitzersįield all blitzers and one thrower at all times if possible and 1-2 catchers on defenseĪim to field at least 3 catchers on offense to get the most out of the human rosters agility side A thrower back field waiting to receive a ball is of no use compared to a catcher in the same position.Īlways assess things on a turn by turn basis. It is important to have your positionals in the right place at the right time to best make use of their skills. Some important key points to know about Humans: They are easily among the best starting teams for beginners but require an incredibly good understanding of different gamestyles to truly compete with them at higher levels. They also come with the choice of fielding a few halflings as cheap fodder or attempt the one turn touchdown. Starting with an excellent set of skills to help do their role reliably and at a fairly affordable price, this provides the human team an exceptional amount of versatility on the pitch. With the Throwers and Catchers, the Humans can also carry out a decent passing game. With four blitzers starting with block and an ogre, Humans can utilize a decent bash orientated game. Humans are a very balanced and versatile team. Requires a good understanding of both types of playstyles to do well Consequently, a human coach, once having learned the basics, can really get a lot out of the team and can potentially create an extraordinarily efficient squad. Every tactic used by other races is used by humans as well, to varying degrees of success. Conversely, this forces the coach to improve his own skill to compete, learning what tactics work and what don't, without relying on gifted players to make it all come together. To win with humans requires a higher reliance on the skill and patience of the coach, more so than just about every other race. They have no real strengths, yet also no real weaknesses to exploit. Humans are often recommended to new coaches looking to start their first team. They started off as the average Blood Bowl roster, but recently introduced new races have pushed them more towards the light-weight end of the spectrum. Humans are the great all-rounders of Blood Bowl depending on their opposition, they can run the ball, pass it, or stomp some heads! This can even happen halfway through a drive, when a change of tactics is needed.
