Re: World of CHEL Skater Build Strategy Discussion
In NHL 21 I only used two builds which both suited my style of play. I play 6’s only.
A 5’7, 169 lbs Sniper for RW and after successfully killing so many penalties and playing effective defensively with this build I decided to create another Sniper build for my RD with a few tweaks. I increased my height to 5’10 and weight to 185 lbs for this one. I generally used the same traits and specialities for both. Booming slap shot, back checking and PK specialist and sometimes one timer instead of PK a for my RW Sniper.
These two builds allowed me to keep pace and not get beat by the opposing small Snipers which so many often used. I don’t often throw hits and don’t need to to play effect D so I didn’t need the hitting and strength although these builds were weak while holding the puck which I try not to do too much. I’m more of a quick pass, get open, pass, shoot, one timer player anyway. I had no issues with passing either whether it was in the offensive zone or quick and long breakout passes to my forwards. Defensively I didn’t have many issues with either build. It was like using a hybrid between the Puck Moving and Offensive Dman builds. My biggest strength was my slap shot. I could rip both slap shots and one timers pass goalies from anywhere in the offensive zone.
For NHL 22 I’m basically going to try to recreate both builds but with the customization back and the other new aspects I’ll tweak this build to add to my areas of strength and decrease/improve my areas/categories of weaknesses.
