Our Troll Slayer has a 2D block thanks to an assist, but if we only get pushes on the first block we will push the Orc away from our assist, and our follow-up block will result in a 1D. If our Frenzy user is a big guy like a Minotaur or Rat Ogre, or a ST4 type like a Ulfwerener or Khorne Bloodseeker, then that 2D block will typically be easy to come by, but if we are using a ST3 (or lower!) player, then we must be careful how we position our assists to ensure they still aid us on any potential second block. Our base use case with Frenzy is to find a lone opponent, ensure we have a 2D block, and then enjoy hitting them once or twice and hopefully get a knockdown. We do continue to get the second Block against Stand Firm players who elected not to be pushed back.If our opponent has Foul Appearance, we must roll it again before making our second block.If our opponent uses Fend, we cannot follow-up and thus do not get the second block.We must follow-up and we must block again, and these are the conditions that create many of the nuances of effective Frenzy use. The most important aspect of this skill in its general application is the ‘must’. The BasicsĮvery time a player with Frenzy performs a block and their target is pushed back, the Frenzy player must follow-up, and if the target is still standing they must block them again.

It has great potential to cause damage, create positional options, and equally to cause mis-position and even turnovers!
