Actually, thats probably exactly what Id do.  Although it does depend on what
styles the arena favors.  If youre looking for a dixie, you may want to pump
the speed for decise or the deftness for the attack and not put so many into
will.  Thats only, of course, if you make that all-encompassing acceptance that

probably get flamed big time for this, but it seems to many managers cant get 
it out of their heads that they cant get every warrior to Primus.  Hell, I 
havent gotten ANY warriors to Primus.  So, I try and work for today.

Here it just a matter of picking and choosong your fights.  I have to ask how
many fights did the people you fought have?  If the slasher had more fights,
yeah, he'll do that to you.  Thats why Ive fallen in love with Slashers lately.
 They seem to have a knack for that.  If you know youre going to fight a PR try
not to go decise.  Theyll chew you up if theyre any good.  Otherwise, it seems
like youve got good strategies.  Once again, its exactly how I run my slashers 
1st minute.  Some might complain about the decise tactic, and it could be that 
youre guy just doesnt like it.  I think the bonus to 1st strike is 
vital,especially in early fights.  Once again, try and pick and choose who you 
fight.  Challenges and avoids are what make a win/loss record.
