How to duel in Elden Ring and the etiquettes that you should follow
Would you like if you’ve to fight injured or incomplete builds in a duel? You wouldn’t, right. The duel would be an unfair fight as the players aren’t going to be fighting at their best. You must allow the opponent to complete their build by using the buffs. Additionally, use that time to buff yourself too. If the duel has been determined, you can use any gestures in emote. Although bowing is largely considered to be humble, it could be a risky option. As the emote takes longer than the wave emotes, the opponent could start attacking you. In such scenarios, it is suggested that you should observe the gestures of the opponent in the duel. If they bow, it’ll be safe for you to bow as well. Unless you’re respecting the player in a duel by not attacking, it’ll be an honorable fight.
In a duel, although it is forsaken to make use of healing consumables, you could use the Flask of Cerulean tears. This will restore the FP and it is a fair tactic. Some duels will allow certain flasks of Wondrous Physick to be used that offer buffers to the players. When fighting, you shouldn’t attack the opponent if they’re doing an emote. It’ll make no sense to attack someone if they’re acknowledging you. You can start the duel and begin attacking them once they’re done with their gestures. Although this etiquette is slightly challenging, it is widely accepted and honorable. It’ll entice your enemy to call you Mega Noob. It’s fair to use Crimson Tears during an invasion. Using them during a duel isn’t favored in the Elden Ring community.
