Kjelstad Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 A big bump in numbers this season. @Brenin in 6C. @Bouffonstarting in B. @Shanba sticking with it in 5C. @Crunky Chops up in 2C. And waiting for me to finally fall from the Championship, @Razzle Storm returns to show me what I was doing wrong. I have no idea how anyone did last season as our team was murdered the first two games and kind of lost interest. I think it was our seventh failure in champs if you count BB1 and our third demotion. if you count BB1. The format used in BB1 had four tiers in feeding the top tier so I took third place twice, winning the wooden boot. Not really a prize, just a nice way of getting kicked down a tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2
Shanba Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I went 1 1 7! It was miserable. None of my vamp teams in CCL have ever done this badly XD. But I feel like I have a solid looking team, but I was seriously hampered by everyone dying all the time. On the plus side, I got the rubber helmet award! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Kjelstad Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Losing a key legend was rough on me. I only did slightly better by winning my last two. Next season I won't be giving out wizards so it will just be a season of "give the ball to Freight Train" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2
Razzle Storm Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I did lose a good vamp player in the final game I played with the team, so we'll see if I take too much attrition in the championship to develop another one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2
Kjelstad Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It doesn't look like it is extra brutal this season, two chaos, no nurgle. Plus you get to play @Mongloom, so that is a free win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2

Bantha Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 And I will face this S19, the notorious Crunky Chops - Serial Sinkers - Vampire @Crunky Chops let's see. I usually had a nice game as vamp vs all kinds of elves part from Dark elfs. Will be interesting to be on the other side for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouffon Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 In news today: 3-0 victory for vamps, proing 4 vamp starting tactic viable. Underworld of @Synthric offered tough opposition but dice was against them and UW are tricky team to coach. Level for a vamp and a thrall, six rolled for money. Most splendid opening match for OCC's newest vampires. EDIT: Thrall rolled 5+5; dodge, guard, what? I want opinions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2
Kjelstad Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) guard or leader I like leader. some people like dodge, but it seems early for that. I don't find guard as useful as bashers might. I don't know what your play style is. In the second half I always make sure leader becomes my feeder after using his roll. A good way to get him off the pitch safely for next week. Edited January 5, 2021 by Kjelstad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2

I'd argue now is the best time to take a dodge: new teams have no tackles (no dorfs in my division) and blocks are few. But yeah, leader is also an option, but it just feels off to me at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2
Kjelstad Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I was going to check your division for dorfs. It is probably a good pick right now. It just feels like an investment in a thrall instead of an investment in team to me for some reason. If you take a look at my thralls you will see I obviously do not value them. I think dodge would help this season a lot and be useful when the rest of the team has blodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2
Bouffon Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I value bloodbanks that can dodge to support vamps. Still, you are right that is is more for the thrall than the team. I'll decide between it and leader when I see how my next opponents look like after their 1st match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 5 2
Kjelstad Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I finally figured out what my team was missing. I let my thralls drop off while I was not able to replace them all. We had no Doomy! He may have been the only player to not earn any SPP today but it helped with a 4-0 win. Most of the loners did die. Rookie vamp picked up 14 SPP so he has blodge now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2

The other options I'd consider are Dodge or Thick Skull. If you're still against early teams then Dodge would be better right now, but when I tried both at higher TVs Thick Skull was better for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanba Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Matchweek 1 was a success for me this season, a 2-0 win over necromantic that luckily for me had both wolves MNG. 14/16 dodge vampire did not manage to get a touchdown because he got one dice powed, but again in a stroke of fortune I got mvp on a move up vampire, who now has block to add to his arsenal. I also picked up a third move bust on a thrall - at some point I guess I'll have to start cycling them out, but I'm happy enough carrying them as bench/LoS fodder for now. I get a billion in petty cash against just about the whole division anyway. Next week is against very spooky lizards with approximately infinite mighty blow, so I'm a little apprehensive there, but who knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjelstad Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Move bust thralls are called 'linemen' That is a Vampire shutout this season by the reports so far. Nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2

Having cheaper rerolls is just such a nice thing as a vamp coach, and often leads to being able to maintain numbers because it feels okay to use a RR on a bloodlust if you've already done most of what you want to for the turn. 6 hours ago, Kjelstad said: Move bust thralls are called 'linemen' That is a Vampire shutout this season by the reports so far. Nice. I imagine my game vs. The Sage tomorrow will be a Wood elf win, since he has a surprisingly healthy and insanely agile team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double value for Thralls. Bite protection.. Bash protection it will be good for that too. Keeping thralls on the pitch is the key so skills that help will be of value and we will bite so why not pile up with skills for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjelstad Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I do plan on trying it the next time I roll doubles. Unless my leader is dead. I can't afford to replace the roll I dropped many seasons ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2
