Socles Empty
MessageSujet: Socles   Socles I_icon_minitimeJeu 13 Fév 2014 - 17:28

Hi, today i will present a concept that i named the socle.
I'm not really fluent in english, so there will probably have a lot of spelling mistakes and conjugate faults.
Do not hesitate to point them out, i'll correct them asap.

What the idea behind socles ?

In teams, we often notice there is two parts.

The character around which the team is constructed, i'll name it the Leader.

Leaders are easily identifiable, Goultard, Nox, Merkator, Makum Bah are Natural-born Leaders.

But Bad Aboum can be a Leader too, it just needs his team to be built to use his capacities.

The other part of a team consists of Followers.

But it is here that starts to be interesting, hardcore team builders, and probably the less determined too, must have noticed that regulary the same followers return in some combinations easily recognizable.

Until now, except some rare cases, teams are tagged as a whole; but it is possible to tag these socles instead.

All great constructions stand on great socles, without a good socle stuffs collapse.
Socles are here to support and enhance things it supports.
Same socle design can be used for various leaders and that's the point in identify them Smile.

I, now, will present a first socle, one of the most known :

Speedy :


It consists of 2 Srammy and 2 Coa Gulary,. His strong point is speed (Obvious things are obvious xD), in fact it is the fastest combination of caracters for a total of 6 level at the moment i write these lines. It offers in addition two pushers (Not one that deals drugs. :s) and the possibility to fast pick kamas in the center of some maps.

But the real point of that Socle is his speed, don't doubt that .


This socle work well with Goultard, and it gave birth to a team we named Speedy Goultard. This socle is strongly reusable, for example at my last tournament i played against a Speedy Count Harebourg. Speedy Merkator, Makum Bah are possible teams using that socle.

Beyond the composition of the socle, it is too the purpose that counts, we'll see it in the next example.




Another classic example that i choosed to name :

Turbo-Switch :


Anna Tomy + Luk, i think that everyone guessed that. This example offers me the opportunity to point out the second part of the concept behind socle. This key word doesn't only convey the caracters composing it, but convey too the role/purpose.


Turbo-switch is meant to offer mobility to his Leader. To let it catch a distant target and ideally One-Turn it.

We could talk about a Turbo-Switch King of Gooballs, because the seocle is really here to give the King and his gooball the reach that they miss.

A Turbo-Switch Merkator is possible, and i met that team more than one time ^^.


In first place with that socle, manipulations are here to happen on the Leader, altough we don't close the possibility, to grab an ennemy with Anna, but the real objective of Turbo-Switch his Leader's handling before his time to play.

Talking of Turbo-Switch for a team which leader is Goultard isn't right. The team would have the caracters to support the leader, but can't use it the way this Socle is meant to. So Anna+Luk can be in different Socles.



I gave two examples that i consider representative, but there is a lot more out there.

What i want to do with that concept, it's to show the importance of socles.
To facilitate the understanding and the naming of teams, a systematic use is not essential, but to discuss and dissect teams it is an interesting tool.

It opens team building to start via building. Instead to choose a Leader and then pick up support caracters around it, you can create a strong socle, and then search for a leader that complete it well.


This is the philosophy behind a socle :

A key word, expression that indicates two things :
-A caracter composition
-A purpose

And to follow these creating rules :
-Two Caracters at least ^^.
-Each Kros must have a meaning in the socle. No need to cover every levels of a team with the leader+Socle. In a Turbo-Switch King of Gooballs it remains a lot of level (4 Exactly). Never mind it, it's better to leave some space than to etiolate the purpose of a socle with the add of misfit Krosmaster.


These are the only constraints to create a meaningfull socle. Tou could imagine a socle with 7-8 level that only level 4 or less Leaders could use.

Here is an unconventional socle that i love to use when i teambuild.

Old Control :


This is a socle compound of Luk Ylook+ Ruel Strood+ Fern Sock'em. Here the word Old has a double meaning, Old because it uses only caracter of the first set in France. (No Duel Pack, Multimens or Promotional Flunch 2013), the second meaning is easy to guess Wink.


The goal is to offer MP control (And AP in a second time) ideally against the opposite Leader, while giving the possibility to Turbo with the Luk at the start.


Some sinergies :

- Luk + Ruel, it's a lot of time 3 MP removed and 2 AP with the good "timing". It shutdowns a lot of Leaders.

- With less MP Fern's Invocation is bitchier (Yes it is possible ! ). It's as if a tree grow up just before you when you're craving for reach
- Turbo Fern or Turbo Ruel are trully fun against some teams at Turn 1. To steal a MP to the right target (With the biggest initiative score), ou to block the path with the invocation can truly break the buying or positioning strat of your oppenent.

Some Leaders that love that socle :
Yugo ^^, but not only, all leaders not so tanky or not so mobile, needing a protected approach or needing to cut escaping possibilities to their target. A Makum add some control with her puppies, while offering a slow strangulation of the target.
You can find other Leaders doing well with that socle ! I could have studied more deeply the Old Control, but it isn't the first purpose of the article.

Well, i'll let you assimilate the concept of socle, and then you could present yours ^^.

Here is an article that illustrates the idea behind socles. I guess the author came there by himself, i think the saying is something like "Great minds think alike".
