Pylon Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi, My team is 3 games old (my entire Nurgle experience - other than 7 turns mm, my oppo dc`d) & first rotter has levelled, 5+6. Should i take +ag to make a ball carrier? Only 2 rr`s at present though 120k in bank, intending to get 3rd asap. My block pest has been carrying, though it does feel wasted when he does, as i have no other block/wrestle player for blitzing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2

brocCooLi Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 yeah, take the +AG and let the rotter die with pride when it happens. but +AG is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 8 2 3 9
Francach Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yeah the +AG is gold. It gives you someone who can actually handle the ball early on, covering Nurgles weakness. Don't worry about rotters only being MA5. They'll usually have to slow down to let the warriors keep up anyway. And when they die you hopefully have a more skilled goat who can carry the ball.

Pylon Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well second game at Ag 4 & the Rotter has now got a double niggle. Not had much experience with decay, thought it took only the worst injury, not both. I`m assuming advice will be to fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2
brocCooLi Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 you can keep him, with ag4 he shouldnt be on the line to get hit. and if the opponent hit him, you havent protected him enough. so keep until he dies :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 8 2 3 9
Pylon Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Just couldn`t keep the Lizzies out & they got him.:) Tending to agree keep, as already lost 3 rotters & he will be more reliable for pickups.

brocCooLi Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 one of my "best" rotter was a rotter with -st, -av and niggling. kept him because of fun, he later leveled dirty player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 8 2 3 9
Pylon Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 At the rate i`m losing rotters, only 6 games in a wholly rookie division, i`ll need to keep such players also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2
Javelin Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I'm in a similar situation where I have never played nurgle before. I won my first match on some elfy BS against a wood elf team, and one rotter leveled (my only prestigor was badly hurt on the first elf blitz, so my two scores were with a rotter). With a team of 4 warriors, 1 prestigor, 5 rotters, beast, and 2 rerolls, I have no idea what to even choose as a normal skill for the rotter. Sure hands, since I only have two rerolls and 60K? Or will block be more useful? I'm trying to carry with a rotter since having the prestigor available for blitzing seems more useful. But I really have no idea what I'm doing. This team seems pretty hard at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 2 4 3 2
MaidenManiac Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I would say block and get the ball with the pestigor anyway. You want to skill those pestigors way more then the rotters. That generally involves scoring 2 TDs with each new pestigor to get a starting skill at least (best, fastest and most guaranteed way to get SPPs). Generally its pointless to plan anything out with rotters. They will get hit by some amazing combo like -MA -AG on one injury sooner or later anyway. (Sidenote: I got a double as first skill on my first rotter. Leader is a great call early on. You need all RR you can get). Nurgle sucks at start, just like chaos since you lack most of everything useful. Getting a few blocking players makes a ton of difference in turn consistencies.

Javelin Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I've read some guides that say to get kick on the first rotter to level. While kick seems useful (if you can make the ball land in your disturbing presence zones), I'm not sure it's more useful than block on a team with 2 rerolls and no RR skills! It would be nice to have at least one reasonably safe block to start my drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 2 4 3 2
Pylon Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 I`m also fairly new to Nurgle, but block for me (except i got + ag on my first), the kick option would be interesting though, but with no skills on a rookie team, perhaps later in their development. Then skill up pests as per @MaidenManiac advice, which is best practice from what i have read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2
brocCooLi Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 i wouldnt take kick as a first skill on a rotter. maybe later, but not in the start. but on the other hand i took foul apperance as first skill on all my rotters just to spam it on my team :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javelin Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 2 hours ago, Borke said: Dirty Player! You know, someone had to state the obvious here... I can't see this. Dirty Player is obviously a great skill for rotters later on, but if you start with only one prestigor and 2 rerolls, you're going to be at 11 players for a long time while you save up all the cash for the third reroll and more players. If you're lucky enough to still have 11 players by the time you get the 2nd prestigor then I could see dirty player, but I'm not a big fan of fouling unless you have at least 12 players or you've created a player advantage on the field (something I'm not finding easy to do).

MaidenManiac Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I like kick and have a kick rotter but I wouldnt pick it as skill 1 in the team. Block is sorely needed. DP is good, but as you pointed out that requires that you have players "spare" that can get sent off. Then again 2 DP rotters = 3 normal rotters, aka 3 fouls instead of 2... Btw youre all wrong on leap on the beast. Shadowing is where its at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Raslurbat Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I´ll pick Shadowing as soon as my beasty hit Legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
