Okay so Hall Halfdannarsan has hit level 6. He is at the mo 7-3-4-7 with a +AG boost and also has Block, Dauntless, Dodge, Sure Hands and Side Step.
A normal roll so the choices are as far as I'm concerned:-
Fend- which I can imagine has great synergy with SS Sprint- to give him a potential 1TTD ability Sure Feet- I have 3 RR's and leader on my thrower so not really considering this Catch- I don't throw the ball much with these guys but with my Accurate Thrower and Hall having AG4 it makes sense to a certain point, also works on D too for interceptions. Pass Block- to get extra value out of him on D, although he is very much built for offense. Leap- Never taken this skill before, have no idea whether it is worth it, but love the idea of a Leaping Viking!! Tackle- Again not much synergy with all of his offensive skills, but I am lacking Tackle throughout the team, and would turn him into a viable safety.
Any comments greatly appreciated. I'm not sure how many Norse reach Legend level, so this may be his last skill.... and will certainly be his last for a while, if he does go all the way to 176.

Fend every time, it keeps him alive long enough to make level 7. If they don't knock him down first time then it has to be a blitz every turn to take him down, also it's one less dodge roll for him to make when he runs in the td Removes second block from opponents with frenzy. It works wonders on my high elf catchers which fill a similar roll when they have the ball in hand.

Yep the more I think about it and ask others the more Fend is winning this one and makes sense.

Fend is great for the reasons Insidious mentioned.
I would also argue for tackle. Especially if your team lacks it. With AG4 plus dodge, he can get just about anywhere in your backfield and thus serve as a viable safety. Blodge, Dauntless, tacke, +AG means he'll be effective on both offense and defense. Makes him more versatile.
My two cents...

Agreed Hav,
But I think with this guy I need to prioritise his offence. He is a complete SPP hog anyway (the rest of the team is mostly level 2/3) without him being a blitzer too plus the Zerks and Ulfs are more suited to that role. Plus as a man marker on D with Blodge, SS and Fend is a pretty powerful combo I think? I am starting to build defensive players with tackle too now..... and I think it may well break my heart if he gets a stat bust or killed on defensive duties!! These damn pixels..... how we get attached to them hey!?!

as he has ag4 i am a leap fan myself, though he hasnt got strip ball or tackle and are also needed for the cage busting, but leap helps if players just surround and dont block and make you have to roll 2 or 3 dodges, and if they have tackle no RR, one leap and your free but he looks like your ball guy so fend... maybe leap at 7 use others to get tackle

Have you seen the wings on the helmet of a level 6 Norse Runner?!? He could bloody well fly if he wanted to..... took Fend though in the end.

Being a fellow norse coach myself, id go for Fend everytime. The only other skill i 'might' entertain is sprint, purely, so it gives you an extra option, and a bail out to get a late TD.
Id prob go fend this time, then, if he survives, sprint at 176.
Again, just my opinion, but thats why this game is so awesome, everyone has different builds and outlooks.
Cheers

If he makes it to 176.... he will be getting Leap barring any Stat Roll. And purely because I want a flying Viking on my Roster!!

If you make him fly, All the other viking will be laughing at him, Might as well give him some red sparkly heels....
