Ideally, you'll knock down a bunch of them. But it's probably safe to assume you should be knocking down at least one opposing player per turn. You don't necessarily want to dive into fights you are unlikely to win, particularly those situations where the defender gets to choose which block dice result will stand. In my experience, it's pretty hard to show too much aggression in Blood Bowl 2. By doing so, you increase the number of squares currently being guarded by your team, making it harder for opponents to get close without risking a few Dodge rolls. Another way to try and mitigate this problem is by placing your players in the spots diagonally-adjacent to their teammates. But this strategy can make it quite easy for the opposing team to surround you, pick off a few weaker players and turn the entire game on its head. When playing Blood Bowl 2, it can be temping to surround your ball-carrier with other players, filling every square that would give your opponent a chance to recover the ball. Place Diagonally To Protect More Groundīlood Bowl 2 Photo: Photo: International Digital Times Just remember you can only re-roll once per turn. I topped out around the 60 percent mark of the Blood Bowl 2 campaign and don't regret it. As soon as Blood Bowl 2 gives you the option of increasing your number of re-rolls per half, begin investing as much income into that pool as you can reasonably afford. There is no such thing as having too many opportunities to re-roll the dice in a game where the outcome of damn near every action is decided by one -to-three of the six-sided sadists. Make sure your players stick together, as much as possible, and have plans for bringing them back together quickly if/when forced to spread out. Even your Ogre won't be safe once a few opposing players get positioned around it. Anytime you're thinking about moving into enemy territory, or even attempting to fortify existing positioning, take a moment to make sure you aren't serving up another member of your team on a silver platter. With a few rare exceptions, leaving one of your teammates out on their own is pretty much the last thing you want to do in Blood Bowl 2. Trust me.īlood Bowl 2 Photo: Photos: Focus Home / Cyanide It's infinitely less frustrating than trying to make heads or tails of the game on your own. Let Cyanide Studios guide you through your first few rounds of Blood Bowl. The first few games of your inaugural season act as the game's tutorial, beginning with an ultra-simplified version of Blood Bowl that becomes more-complex over the course of the season. If Blood Bowl 2 is your first exposure to the series, the best advice I can give is to ignore your instincts and dive right into the campaign. I can assure you, in most cases, that assumption would be wrong. Without easily-accessible tutorials, it's not hard to assume Blood Bowl is a game that anyone with a basic understanding of football might be able to navigate on their own. If you're new to Blood Bowl, like I was, it can be tempting to try and learn the ropes of the game on your own. So they probably aren't going to be nearly as forgiving with their own positioning/blocking decisions as the Blood Bowl 2 AI. Unlike the Blood Bowl 2 campaign, your fellow BB2 players aren't going to be especially interested in seeing the realization of your rags-to-riches story. These tips should only be considered useful for the Blood Bowl 2 campaign and/or solo matches against the game's AI. But they probably won't be much good when wading into online multiplayer. So I should at least be of some use to my fellow Blood Bowl newcomers. I’m by no means a master of the game, based on my success in online matches, but I did manage to secure a championship for the Reikland Reavers. But a passing familiarity with American football isn’t going to be enough for most players to sit down and find success with Blood Bowl 2.įortunately, for those of you also playing a Blood Bowl game for the first time, I’ve already spent a few dozen hours with Blood Bowl 2. Sure, the game offers a series of tutorials for new players, via the Blood Bowl 2 campaign. Blood Bowl 2 isn’t exactly the most newbie-friendly game of 2015.
