Pro: great guide, makes me want to play this team Con: i don't have time to play every team, stop making these guides so good!

Really digging this format of team introductions, as a newer player, it still garners nuggets of good info!

Thanks for the guide, much appreciated. Maybe adding a bit about how the set-ups and tactics would change when playing against bash, hybrid or agile teams

I think the thing most people miss with the assassin the stab ability has no fail so regardless of what happening you can stab for example if your about to score you might as well stab it makes the opponent do a armor roll and you have zero chance to have a turn over

He's good for that, and for adding diving tackle to him. but overall he's low AV and easy to pick off

Couple of quick notes. Wrestle guard linemen are a great backbone for this team and allow the positionals to do their jobs amazingly well. Also, the 4 blitzer start, instead of a dedicated fan can take a runner so you start with pa3+ and dump off, which can let the blitzers find holes, catch and score, typical elf stuff. Finally, assassins work well with guard, if they fail to armour roll they have a second use getting stuck in the middle of a fight providing assists (maybe defensive could work too?) Shame they're so squishy. But I wouldn't pick one up until multi-block comes out. Love the guides, keep up the good work!

Jump Up skill icon looks like Jet Fart Launch

My two WEs from BB1. Still playing by the way: 1. +1STR, Block, Mighty Blow, Tackle, Pro, Sure Feet 2. +2STR, Block, Mighty Blow, Tackle, Juggernaut

Fumblerooski actually works well for this team. It basically give you a bonus handoff for insane stretch plays.

Have been looking forward to this guide since D Elves is one of my favorite teams as well. Thanks for another amazing guide and for all the hard work on them.

Well done Mr. Avo!

One thing I'd like to mention in the roster section is that you can also go with 4 blitzers, 1 runner, 6 line elves and 2 rerolls. Since darkelves have soo much on their shopping list (witches, reroll, apothecary) it might be a good idea to go with the leader skill on the runner early.

Awesome breakdown.

Excellent stuff! /Hyperbrain

Also, I enjoy the comments on this channel, they are part of the "good stuff" you are always mentioning 😉

Andy, how do you throw the fireball in the game? I've taken the wizard twice now, and when I want to throw the fireball, it doesn't work, I can only take the zap! And worse, when I choose the Zap, it's impossible to deselect it

Could you explain to me why elves are good at fouling now? Doens't it still really hurt when they get send off and heaving a bench is difficult? thanks :)

@LonFranson

Жыл бұрын

@@kuvuta Sure. Basically, it's the changes to Sneaky Git. Before, SG saved your player from being ejected if you rolled doubles on AV but did not break armor. NOW? SG prevents your player from being ejected for ANY AV roll AND lets you move after the foul. So if your player has SG, you cut your odds of being ejected by (at least) half. And if the player has a decent MV, they can take a foul and then move to do another job (filling space, providing an assist, etc.). SG is an AG skill. And elves are one of the few groups that get normal access to General (Dirty Player) and Agility (Sneaky Git) and has the speed to take full advantage of SG. The best play is for your line-elves (who are your cheapest players) to take random General skills on their first skill. Only 3 SPPs and they only add 10k to your value (keeping your TV low). Then as soon as you get a random DP, they take SG as soon as possible and now you have a player who has a decent chance of getting opposing players off the pitch at a lower risk than normal. Remember, with SG you cannot even GET ejected unless you break armor. So you will at least stun the target when you get kicked out. It still hurts bad when even a line-elf gets ejected. But hopefully, they will have KO'd (or worse) at least a couple of opposing players before that happens. Add in Kick Off results that give you a free bribe and inducements, and you can make the odds even more in your favor. It will probably lose you a game when the DP/SG does get ejected early (bad rolls do happen) but it will help elves at least maintain player on pitch parity more often than it hurts. Combine that with some smart surfing action (and I think this makes Frenzy even more tempting for at least one elf even on non-Dark Elf teams) and elves have a legitimate way to win the numbers war or at least keep it in range that agility players are still viable.

@@LonFranson Very cool. Especially the random General skill is a cool idea I was very on defense about so far. But with Dirty Player as another great result it really seems worth it, especially as low AV players getting something useless will sooner or later die at the line anyway

I can't get the assassin's stab pop-up window to appear. Can you offer commentary on how to use the stab ability? I've begun to think my game is glitched.

Random question from a new BB player: Best way to start leveling up my team is to just start play online matches against other players or are there any reason to play through the campaign first? (BB3)

Hi Andy, I was wondering if you have any ladder leagues running in BB3 yet? would love to join so I can be educated. Also have you joined the Bonehead ladder?

so we got other set of star players then in TT?

How come you don’t consider the 4 blitzers 1 runner 2 RR starting roster?

Minor point (since you ask people to comment). At 11:35 you say 76 SPP when talking about the Runner but that is old money. Five skills is only 62 SPP under new rules!

Great video ! Really helpfull especially for new players! Please make for the other races too!

Once she has Wrestle Tackle Strip Ball, the which might want to take AV+. For just 10k Teamvalue you highly increase the chance of being able to use a player worth 170k. Maybe even AV+2 is worth 20k, if you have SSP to spend.

First game playing as Dark Elves, used your line-up with Witch as ball carrier, she died 3 turns in...I still won the game though lol

Hi, I start the game, by watching other guide (with less explanation than here). I see that I should just avoid assassin but take a runner in my team give him “leader” skill. But both of this tips are not in this video (and I start my team with this in mind) so that was good tips or not ?

@futuretrunks9839

Жыл бұрын

I’d say it’s solid advice. But it is based on an older rule set. Talking BB2 rules runners were amazing starting units. Passing used to be based off the agility skill so they could throw much easier and you could lean into that much easier and leader was great as it gave you a re-roll while you got witch elves and the like. It’s still a viable build, but I think the witch elf is a better starter over the runner in bb3 imo. And assassins have gotten better. But they are by no means necessary or should be on a starting roster.

@JorisVDC

Жыл бұрын

Yes. With passing less tempting the running teams have become better. Combined with the leap nerf, wood Elves seem less the go to race for dash coaches. Until people realize that Woodies can easily run the ball as well. Probably Sneaky Git DP fouls will do better than PO did since you can mitigate much of the armor even in contact with the fouling assist from Guard. Getting rid of the value players is a huge benefit of fouling which makes the risk acceptable, because the pay of can be as big as removing Griff from the game.
