[@ianfredrick383]

Great video. I had some luck with running a chameleon as a passer. People really don’t expect a lizard throwing game.

Keeping my fingers crossed that bb3 will turn into a good game .. soon.

[@frankfelske2788]

Sure. In one or two years ^^

Hi Andy! Great video. I like the extra discussion on the setups.

Me too. Very helpful. Would be nice to see setups before you get a full roster or lose a primary player.

[@sasanique]

You didn't do the ultimate big balls build - every positional, 1rr and 3 dedicated fans.

[@ELECTRIK_VISION1]

Let’s go Andy! Let’s go season 1!

[@gingerbreadmun3876]

Great video. Looking forward to next weekend 🎉. I'd drop the apothecary and have two chameleons. They are so good for 2ttds two with on the ball and one skink with catch for the hand off and your up the board without breaking a sweat 90% of the time

[@azzik9931]

Another great roster is 1 Kroxigor - 6 Saurus - 4 Skinks - 1 RR - 4 Fans (5/6 fans) for 960 TV. It is quite hard to do anything against such a team and you are more likely to get mvp on big dinos. The reroll costs 140k, which I was able to get after first 2 wins due to DFans. Then you buy Apo and a 3rd Re-roll. I would advise to buy apo first as league is endless and it is better to preserve your players with spp.

[@helGnT]

awesome vid mate :D I hope you are doing well my friend

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

hey man! holy cow you legend. I need to hear that laugh some time! I hope you're well - come visit the UK some time. I has a spare room

[@helGnT]

@@AndyDavoBloodBowl will do! 😁

[@patternsofdisorder1695]

What do you think about "Diving Catch" on the Chameleons? It should synergize rather well with "On the ball", particularly on the kick-off where you could create your own touchbacks at a 50% rate.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Decent maybe 3rd skill, but block and sure hands are key to a ball carrier. You also want a ma9 sider stepper and a sg dp

[@patternsofdisorder1695]

@@AndyDavoBloodBowl Cool! Thank you for answering. I was envisioning something like sharing the labor between skinks and chameleons, with the former doing the actual scoring (goal: MA9/SureFeet/Sprint, Block or Sidestep) and the latter developing into gatherer-passers. I'm debating Sure Hands and Diving Catch, or else saving for Pass. It hurts that the Chams only get Passing as a secondary access.

[@colinthomson3380]

Love playing Lizardmen (usually a human team) played 3 (first game awarded) won 1 drawn 1, 5 td’s scored. The skinks are excellent for closing down the ball carrier

[@phillipminer3554]

You just earned yourself a subscription. I bought BB3 recently (when it was on sale on the PlayStation store) and have been playing with the Lizardmen since, so this is helpful. For the record, obviously the game needs work, but I’m still having fun. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price however 😅

[@billfromwork7203]

Thank you

[@sebleshah9712]

Hello Andy, Where your put the Lizard on your tier list now ?

[@khancethehunter2389]

Wow, its rare to hear a Big Guy get a complement yet alone be called one of the "best". It also surprises me how soon we got Lizards, the dev's must have felt the heat from their game not doing so well sales wise. I'll still pass on it despite the fact my team is in it, cause I haven't heard anything about patches or bug fixes.

[@bendavy1816]

There was a major patch yesterday they fixed a load of bugs

[@FoulPet]

I think it is the best.

[@Alexandermhinton]

hey thanks for making this

[@3ddanton]

Nice guide. One important thing you missed out though is random general skills for skinks. I would recommend every first skill on a skink be a random general, because there are almost no bad outcomes and then you can build each skink based on the skill they get, or just recycle them if you are not happy with the outcome. Also in the edit at the end you don't mention the skink star players Dribble and Druhl, who are definitely worth considering in some match-ups.

[@scottwallbank4794]

His video is in regards to BB3. Dribl and Druhl aren't in it.

[@midlife_mtb]

Jav here, you missed my roster, just wing it with 1 RR for a bit, its fine, get all the guys!

[@flowi8470]

i really need those guides, but what i dont get: you recommend a certain lineup and when you talk about the formation, you work with a different lineup, thats so confusing

[@PatrickMcDonald1]

He recommended the starting lineup of 6 Saurus, 5 Skinks, but your goal is to buy the Kroxigor as soon as possible. So the majority of your games (after the first 2-3) will be with 6 Saurus, 1 Krox, 4 Skinks, and he based the formations around that eventual lineup. With only 6 Saurus, the defensive formation is just a tighter anchor. 3 Saurus on the line, the the other 3 Saurus protecting the 5 Skinks behind them.

[@nbmoleminer5051]

Wouldn't you want your Strongest melee Players on the line and not in reserve at the back end of your side of pitch? if not why it's what I've been doing and admitably failing all most constantly but I'm not sure why doesn't just make sense to make a shield/bulwark out of your biggest hitters all the Saurs and Krox?

[@ryanstreeter6551]

Without anything to sweep the backfield all you have to do is poke one or two holes and you can penetrate the defense. Skinks don't cut it on their own so you need some muscle in reserve to plug gaps and push into the opponent after they commit to the fight. Dinos in the back can close the front and halt the progression of the opponent, line of scrimmage will either be freed up to pressure or hold players back from the forward drive and the dinos on the opposite side can push them into the sideline, which is why frenzy can be so good on lizardmen. Skinks can help stop the dodges, provide some safe assists and fill space but they will get run over on their own. Defense in this game is reaction.

[@Oxtrooo]

Andy please show the gif of the skinks kicking and the frog handling the ball less. it's really distracting looking at these lizardmen animations over and over when your talking about new skills and what to do

[@FoulPet]

@@ChoiceSocks someone needs to start a more dedicated league with players who have better sportsmanship

[@sinjoh53]

I really don't like the cameleon , he is more costly than a regular skink , has less movement , has more capability at throwing the ball which you don't really care with lizardmen in top of having stunty and unless this has been change , he basically always has -1 at lauching the ball ...

[@bob3ironfist]

Exactly. I don't get the theory behind the chameleon skink unless he gets a native +1 to pass to balance out the stunts. But even then. Skinks are movement 8. Just run the ball. No passing required.

[@bendavy1816]

They are really helpful for the one turn try. On the ball and being able to pass.

[@sinjoh53]

@@bendavy1816 That change nothing , you just has to transmit the ball

[@bendavy1816]

@@sinjoh53 it makes a massive difference on deep kicks. How does that “change nothing?” On the kick off it’s effectively movement 10 with on the ball and can throw on a 3+ if you need too. They massively improves your odds of scoring.

[@gingerbreadmun3876]

They are the best 👌 Trust. On the ball makes them movement ten on the first turn which is what they are for. With movement ten on them and then movement 8 on a skink you do the hand off. If it's league you put catch on both chameleons and one skink and you won't even use your rerolls

[@shantinedavis1723]

Isnt this the dlc that was actually there on day 1??

So can you pass the ball with Skinks Chameleon and Normal or either?

[@jonathans.6295]

You should mention that the game is broken beyond belief. You can't even finish a game online without it crashing. Not to mention the enormous amount of bugs that they didn't even bother to fix for Season 1. Offline games don't report properly. The devs are either incompetent or they don't give a shit. You need to put a warning at the beginning of your video that the game is completely broken and inferior to BB2 in everyway.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

First, I'm sorry to hear that your game is crashing constantly, a very small number of people from chat have also had issues, they have either Reinstalled the game or updated their graphics drivers. Second, regarding the state of the game, yes it's still poor in many places, as to why, that's speculation. I
