This build is most useful early on when most teams aren’t going to have a Sure Hands ball carrier, I start all Blitzers off with Dodge as you are light on Rerolls, they will be dodging a lot and it makes them even harder to knock over. Normal: Dodge, Strip Ball, Tackle/ Leap, Jump Up, Side Step/Diving Tackle.Having four Blitzers let you screen off other players well and once you have the ball secured or screened off in the other half you should have a number of players who you can use to score with. Somewhat of a cross between the standard Elven tactics and a traditional caging team.

Having four as well means you can cover practically any where on the pitch with them, especially as they are mobile.ĭark Elf teams are also quite a bit slower than other Elves so scoring quickly isn’t as easily done and you tend to play more in a mobile cage using strategic hits.

As they start with Block you can get there quicker than your elven counterparts who also need to take Block or Wrestle in addition to further skills. There will be some overlap but you can specialise individual Blitzers in order to take on different types of opposing players. The fact you have four of them as well means it is quite easy to build them all up in slightly different ways to perform different roles. Also with expensive players you won’t initially be able to afford many rerolls, so Block will cut down on turnovers.Īs they are fairly speedy and come with decent armour and Block they will be doing a lot of the leg work on the team. This is something I encourage as Block is really good early on, AV8 stands up better than the AV7 players. Given the changes to Fan Factor in the current rules it is also quite easy to start with all four in your starting line up.

Dark Elves are very good at the running game, partly because they don’t have recognised Throwers and Catches like the other Elf teams, but because they are the only one that has access to four Blitzers.
