So I made a pass rushing DE and a Balanced LB and I’m not really sure what to do from here. I spent all my points and leveled, just focused on the main stuff but don’t know if there is a strategy to all this. Please help.

Well, first off, it's already the middle of the current season so I would highly advise not to spend any Flex on the dots you made. Save it for the next new dots you'll make next season. (after playoffs, around day 40.) Use this season to explore the build process and learn things and also ask around and find a good team/agency to get with (looks like you're already on an owned team so great start!). I cannot speak for absolutely everyone here but I can promise you most of us that started this game whenever, and knew little to nothing, found that getting involved with experienced builders and teammates and teams really helped a helluva lot. Instant answers to questions... build guides to follow... and a home where your dot is guaranteed to play and, likely, play well being used as it should with the style of build that it is. I can offer a link to one such person (member/manager of an agency); http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/home/168911 Send him a PM if you want.

As for now, the builds aren't open but I'm willing to bet you spread your points around into the major skills and in a way that made perfect sense. Hate to tell you but that's the the actually the worst way to start. I know it makes the most sense... at least 50% of everyone did the same thing when they first started (me too)... but the build process is all about ALG's and maxing out main skill as fast as possible. Again, there's some pretty awesome guides out there that really help you from day #1 of the dot until it his plateau as a monster. For this season, explore, learn, ask questions. Next season, with all you learn now, recycle your two dots and start again... but this time with a guide and a plan that'll really get you going on the right foot.

A slot of helpful info here but can I get a specific answer to what skill to train? It sounds like I should just pick 1 skill and max it out but do I do it at intense? What do I do with those tokens?

Go with agility on the DE. Intense train it the rest of the season. Use the tokens to enhance training.

The LB i'm not sure.

Agree with the DE. He's a pass rushing arch so you want high agility and speed. Here's some end numbers to shoot for (all number are natural numbers meaning no EQ, AEQ, or CEQ enhancements);

95 speed, 100 agility, 95 strength, 70 tackling, 70 vision, 60 stamina, 50 confidence.
Also when you do go for AEQ and SA's you'll want this; 10 first step, 10 shed block, 10 tunnel vision, 10 relentless pursuit, 2x break block, make tackle

For the LB, since it's a combo arch, not 100% sure what you want to focus on or if you really want a 'balanced' LB in the end so here's the thought for that;

103 speed, 95 agility, 85 vision, 80 tackling, 80 strength, 60 stamina, 50 jumping, 40 confidence.
AEQ and SA's; 10 SuperVision, 10 Jackhammer, Avoid fake, deflect ball, make tackle

As you can see by the desired end results you want to attack Agility 1st with the DE and Speed first with the LB.

Also, you look like you're on a decent team. Your dots are going to be off both in level and timing so a LOT of the guides out there will not work for you as they're written since they're made for dots built at end of season and on time... not middle of season. Doesn't mean you cannot build good dots as shown above... just that the timing will be off and, until you hit plateau, your dots will always be below the level of the dots around you. If that is ok with you and your teammates, then rock on brother. You can get there. If not... if things look dicey or you simply want to try again from the start, that's cool too. There are plenty of teams still always wanting good dot builders.

AEQ and SA's; 10 SuperVision, 10 Jackhammer, Avoid fake, deflect ball, make tackle (same here for the LB as both Supervision and Jackhammer are bonus SA's so, 4 if using AEQ for one of those or doubling up on Avoid Fake or Make Tackle... otherwise 3 works).
