I. Profession Overview

Bounty hunters chase the worst foes in the galaxy. These mercenaries learn to use whatever dirty tricks necessary must to bring the prey down. When someone needs an enemy taken care of, they hire bounty hunters to do their dirty work. Tracking down and eliminating people are what bounty hunters do best. As a bounty hunter, you must learn the tricks of ambush and assault so your prey does not escape.

Now that we have the introduction out of the way, let's talk about expertise builds, and some of their abilities.

A good build is anything that consists of some basic boxes, mostly de-buffs and other tanking abilities. Expertise is there for you to tinker your template to what suits you as a hunter, so not one template works for everyone. Also there is no "alpha" build that will make you better than everyone else, so keep in mind that when choosing boxes.

Bounty Hunter: Core Skills

These are the skills that come inherently in the profession wheel. Rather than list the order in which you get them, I am going to lump together similar attacks, list the levels at which they improve, and give a description.

Assault:

• (Granted at CL 1, Progression is CL: 1, 10, 22, 30, 42, 54, 66, 7)
• The default special attack of a Bounty Hunter, it is widely the most used Bounty Hunter Special. It does nothing special, other than cause more damage than the default attack. Usually used to bridge from one special to another while awaiting a cooldown timer to finish.

Ambush:

• (Granted at CL 4, Progression is CL: 4, 14)
• A special attack that increases an opponent's vulnerability to critical hits. It debuffs your opponent, lowering their critical hit resistance (or increasing your critical hit chance, however you look at it).

Cripple:

• (Granted at CL 7, Progression is CL: 7, 18, 26)
• A special attack that snares your opponent, and also does more damage than the default attack (although less than Assault)

Burn:

• (Granted at CL 46, Progression is CL: 46, 74)
• An "AOE" or "Area of Effect" special attack that fires in a cone in front of you, hitting multiple enemies, and does more damage than a normal default attack. Burn does Heat Elemental Damage.

Heal:

• (Granted at CL 7, Progression is CL: 7, 34, 58, 82)
• The default heal for Bounty Hunter. This helps you recover some health at the cost of your action.

Tangle Bomb:

• (Granted at CL 38, Progression is CL: 38, 62, 86)
• An "AOE" special attack that casts a net at the feet of the Bounty Hunter, and snares anyone who walks on it. Typically does little to no damage.

Razor Net:

• (Granted at CL 50, Progression is CL: 50, 70, and 90)
• An "AOE" special attack that casts a net at the feet of the Bounty Hunter, and snares anyone who walks on it. Razor Net also does "tick" damage (damages an opponent a set amount for a set number of times) and grants a chance at "DOT" (Damage over Time) damage by way of a bleed.

Bounty Check:

• (Granted at CL 86, Progression is CL: 86)
• This skill checks to see if a random, non-elite NPC is actually a fugitive in hiding. If the NPC is, and is revealed, the Bounty Hunter engages with the NPC while Duel of the Fates plays as the combat music. Upon killing the fugitive, a collection is opened: Find and kill all 10 of the different hiding fugitives using Bounty Check, and you will be granted a Master Crafted EE3 Carbine or DC-15 Rifle schematic, which you can take to a crafter to be made. The Collection is repeatable by visiting the Bounty Check Collections NPC in the Bestine Cantina.

Conceal Device:

• (Granted at CL 90, Progression is CL: 90)
• A 30 Second Buff that automatically conceals any factional traps you set down. Cooldown is 40 Seconds.

Detect Camouflage:

• (Granted at CL 90, Progression is CL: 90)
• A skill that allows a Bounty Hunter to potentially detect a nearby cloaked character.

Bounty Hunter: Expertise

• For each Expertise skill box, I will have a (*/#) after it, with a number in place of the #. That number is the number of points that can go into the box. I will also list any dependencies.

II. Player Bounty Hunting

How a player bounty is marked:

• Any player in the game can declare "Special Forces" and then engage in Player-vs.-Player combat.
• As players engage in PvP battles, they will automatically accumulate credits on their total bounty.
• If you are killed in PvP combat, you will also have the option of placing a bounty on the player who killed you in combat.
• A window will open so you can set the bounty. The window will display the maximum and minimum bounty amounts, as well as your current funds.
• The bounty can be any amount from 20,000 credits to 1,000,000 credits.
• If a player defeats enough enemies in PvP combat, they will have enough credits on their bounty to show up on the bounty hunter terminals located throughout the galaxy.
• Any bounty hunter can then take a player bounty mission from the bounty hunter terminal (bounty hunters will not know the names of specific characters by taking these missions).
• These missions are anonymous. The Bounty Hunter knows only that he is hunting another player the faction alignment of their mark.
• Up to three (3) bounty hunters can take a mission on the same target.
• Bounty Hunters earn the total amount of bounty credits on the target (and only the bounty credits). The Bounty Hunter will also earn extra faction points if they complete a bounty on someone of the opposing faction or lose faction points for completing a bounty on someone of the same faction.
• The maximum total amount of bounty credits that any single player can have on them at one time is 20,000,000 credits.

A player bounty may not be marked:

• Players cannot have a bounty placed on their character by another player until they are level 20 or above.
• A player cannot place bounty credits if their character's death is the result of a duel.
• A player cannot place bounty credits if their death is the result of the mission target killing the Bounty Hunter.
• Neither the Bounty Hunter nor their mission target can place a bounty on the other player as a result of the bounty mission PvP death.
• A player cannot place bounty credits if they do not have enough money to meet the minimum bounty amount requirement.

How a Bounty Hunter tracks their target:

• Bounty Hunters start by taking a player bounty mission from any Bounty Hunter mission terminal throughout the galaxy.
• Bounty hunters can then use their bounty hunting tools (bounty hunting droids, etc.) and prowess to track down their mission target.
• A bounty hunter cannot access PvP Bounty missions until they are level 22 (the level at which they gain droid tracking), and players will not appear on the PvP bounty list until their character is at least level 20 or above.

When a Bounty Hunter finds their mark:

• Once a Bounty Hunter takes a player mission, they are flagged for PvP combat with their target.
• Bounty Hunters get first strike in combat.
• Once a Bounty Hunter makes a move and attacks their bounty target, the target player can attack back immediately (Please note that all PvP rules are still in effect!).
• If a bounty hunter successfully kills their mission target, the bounty hunter will earn all of the bounty credits their target.
• Any Bounty Hunters who might also have the same mission target will be notified that the target is no longer valid when the mission target is slain.
• If the bounty hunter is killed by the target of his/her bounty mission, the hunter fails the mission and will need to get a new mission. In this case, the target keeps the bounty on his/her head and other bounty hunters may continue to hunt the target.

Bounty Hunter / Player Bounty Attacks:

• Once a Bounty Hunter takes a player mission, they are flagged for PvP combat with their target. Once a Bounty Hunter makes a move and attacks their bounty target, the target player can attack back immediately.
• ALL PvP rules are still in effect so if both a Bounty Hunter and their mark are declared for full PvP combat, either player may attack the other player at any time.
• Once the PvP combat encounter begins, players that are factionally opposed to the Bounty Hunter can assist the target in killing the Bounty Hunter and vice versa; players that are factionally opposed to the target can help the Bounty Hunter kill their target.
• However, the Bounty Hunter must be the player delivering the death blow in order to win the mission (and get the payout).

Additional Player Bounty System Details:

• Once a Bounty Hunter takes a player bounty mission, they will be flagged for PvP combat 10–20 seconds after they take the mission. The PvP flag remains in effect for as long as the mission is active.
• All PvP rules are in effect. That means that if you are declared "Special Forces" or engaged in a Guild War all PvP rules still apply.
• Bounties placed on a player are cumulative. If multiple bounties are placed on a player, their overall bounty amount will increase.
• A single player can have multiple bounties on them.
• No bounties will be accumulated for combat with creatures or NPCs (PvE) whether they are faction NPCs or not. Player Bounties are only accumulated for PvP combat.
• Player Bounty Missions have Faction Point bonuses and penalties. Bounty Hunters who kill targets of the opposite faction will earn a faction point bonus and killing a target of the same faction will get a faction point penalty.
• Bounty icons are no longer used.
• The /bountycheck command will still be used for NPC mission targets, but will not do anything when used on a player target.
• If a player has multiple bounties on them, the Bounty Hunter will collect all of the bounty rewards on their target.
• Players who try to log out as a way to escape a bounty hunter will find that their character will stay in the world. Their character can (and probably) will be killed by the bounty hunter.
• Players may not place bounties if their character is killed in a duel.

Here is an example of how Player Bounty Hunting might happen:

• An Imperial player kills a Rebel player in PvP combat.
• A window will pop up asking the Rebel if he or she wants to take out a bounty on the Imperial player.
• The Rebel player can choose to take out the bounty. At they time, they will be asked for the amount of credits they wish to make the bounty (up to a maximum of 1,000,000 credits). The bounty is effective immediately.
• This will deduct the specified amount from your bank account or from your cash on-hand and added the bounty to your killer.
• A player with a bounty will always display as red on the Bounty Hunter's radar as soon as the PvP flag is set.
• Bounty Hunter droids are only used to track the target and are not necessary to complete the mission.

III. Character Statistics

Your characters statistics can be viewed on the Character window. By default this is assigned to the C key.

Health and Action

• Your characters statistics can be viewed on the Character window. By default this is assigned to the C key.

Health and Action

• Heath - Health is a measure of your physical condition. It is a pool that is reduced every time you take physical damage. Should it reach zero, you will be incapacitated. Some enemies will instantly kill you when your health reaches zero.

Action

• Action is a measure of how rested your character is. As you grow tired, you will see your Action pool being depleted. A task cannot be attempted unless you have enough Action to attempt it, such as special moves.

Sub Stats:

• Chapter 6 - Combat Changes
• Chapter 6: "Masters of the Wild" Publish Notes 05-22-07

• There have been significant changes to the internal workings of our combat engine. Game play for the end user should remain unchanged, but some new results are possible once you pull the trigger.

• New Values: Miss, Dodge, Block, Parry, Strikethrough, Evasion and Punishing Blow

Miss

• NPCs and players with ranged weapons in Auto-Aim mode have a base 5% chance to miss their target. Factors such as debuffs and movement increase the player's chance to miss. Buffs and the strength stat reduce the chance to miss.
• The base miss chance for melee and ranged in Manual-Aim mode is 0%.

Dodge

• Dodge is a defender attribute that gives a chance to avoid incoming damage. On a successful roll, the attack will be treated as a miss and no damage will be applied.

Block

• Block is a defender attribute that has a chance to mitigate additional damage based on the defender's block score. Block mitigation is applied after armor so it is possible to reduce incoming damage to 0 with a high enough Block Value.
• (Block Value + Strength) / 2 + 25 = Block Value

Parry

• Parry is a melee defender attribute that will allow the defender to negate a successful attack. Normal parry can only block other melee attacks though Lightsaber weapons can parry ranged attacks as well.

Strikethrough

• Strikethrough is a type of critical which instead of adding damage will bypass a % of your target's armor. Strikethrough amount is based on the attacker's Strikethrough Value.

Evasion

• Evasion is a defender attribute that will allow the target to avoid a % of damage from an Area Effect attack. The amount of % evaded is determined by the defender's Evasion Value.

Punishing Blow

• A punishing blow is a type of critical only available to NPCs that do 150% damage. Elite and Boss category NPCs (as well as those higher level than the player), can land a punishing blow.

Glancing Blows

• The damage reduction from a glancing blow has been reduced from 96% to 60%. In addition, Elite and Boss category NPCs (as well as those higher level than the player), have a natural chance to receive a glancing blow.

IV. Player Attributes

Constitution:

• Adds 8 max points to your Health Bar and 2 max points to your Action bar for every 1 point.

Stamina:

• Adds 8 max points to your Action bar and 2 max points to your Health bar for every 1 point.

Agility:

• Affects Dodge, Parry and Evasion Chance.

Strength:

• Affects Block Chance, Block Value, Hit Chance, and adds a damage bonus to melee attacks.

Precision:

• Affects Parry, Block Chance, Critical Hit Chance and Strikethrough Chance.

Luck:

• Affects Dodge Chance, Evasion Chance, Evasion Value, Critical Hit Chance, Strikethrough Chance and Strikethrough Value. Luck also increases the chance of Lucky events.

• The <<LUCKY!>> message in the combat fly text means you scored a critical hit. You'll notice that you hit for two times or more of your normal damage, this also works with heals in that you will heal for more damage.

• You can also get Lucky kills in space and ground PvE combat (more XP and faction points for that kill), crafting (critical assembly) and selling junk to junk dealers (more credits for that sale).

Attributes to Hit Type Chance:

• 100 points in Agility gives 1% Dodge, .5% Parry and 1% Evasion.
• Every 100 points in Strength gives 0.5% Block, 50 points to Block Value and 1% to-Hit. 33% of your Strength is added as a Melee Damage Bonus to your weapon's damage range.
• Every 100 points in Precision gives 0.5% Strikethrough, 1% Critical Hit Chance, 0.5% Parry, and 0.5% Block Chance.
• Every 100 points in Luck gives 0.33% Dodge, 0.5% Strikethrough Chance, 10.0% Strikethrough Value, 0.33% Critical Hit Chance, 0.33% Evasion and 10% to Evasion Value.
• Your Critical Hit Chance varies depending on the target, and is thus not displayed on the Character Sheet. Melee Damage Bonus, Strikethrough Value and Evasion Value are also not displayed on the Character Sheet.
• Every 100 points in Combat Defense: Block, Combat Defense: Dodge, Combat Defense: Evasion, Combat Defense: Parry, Combat Offence: To-hit Bonus and Combat Offence: Strikethrough gives 1% chance to execute each attack.
• You character has a base 500 points (5% chance) in Combat Defense: Block, Combat Defense: Dodge, Combat Defense: Evasion, Combat Defense: Parry and Combat Offence: Strikethrough.
• Combat Offence: To-hit Bonus has a base chance of 0. Increasing your To-hit Bonus offsets your base chance to miss.

How the hit type for your attack is decided. Chapter 7 Changes:

Defender combat actions and attacker combat actions are now independent checks.

Precedence of Combat Results is as follows:

• Miss, Parry, Dodge will NEGATE Hit, Critical, Strikethrough, Punishing Blow
• Critical, Strikethrough will NEGATE Glancing Blow
• Glancing Blow, Block, Evasion will MITIGATE Hit, Punishing Blow
• Block, Evasion will MITIGATE Critical, Strikethrough

Kinetic, Energy, Heat, Cold, Acid and Electricity

Sum of the protection given to you by armor. Kinetic and Energy are the two main types of damage in SWG.

Heat, Cold, Acid and Electricity protect against certain elemental damage and also provide Resistance and Absorption to certain Damage over time effects.

Armor DoT Absorption.

Damage caused by Damage Over Time (DoT) effect is reduced via armor protections as indicated below:

• Bleeding/Disease DoT - Cold Elemental Resistance
• Poison/Acid DoT - Acid Elemental Resistance
• Fire DoT - Heat Elemental Resistance
• Energy DoT - Electricity Elemental Resistance

What this translates to:

Note: All percentages are approximate values with a standard deviation of 1% Elemental Resist - % of DoT absorbed.

• 1000 - 6%
• 2000 - 12%
• 3000 - 17%
• 4000 - 22%
• 5000 - 25%
• 6000 - 28%
• 7000 - 30%
• 8000 - 32%
• 9000 - 34%
• 10000 - 35%
• 11000 - 37%
• 12000 - 38%
• 13000 - 39%
• 14000 - 40%
• 15000 - 41%

Armor DoT Resistance

There is now a secondary resistance check on each DoT "tick" that will give a chance to resist for partial damage.

Different armor types add an increase resistance to certain DoT types based on the number of slots covered by that armor type. The effect becomes most pronounced when wearing a similar type of armor over all slots that normally offer protection.

• Assault Armor: Resistant vs. Fire/Acid
• Battle Armor: Resistant vs. Poison/Energy
• Recon Armor: Resistant vs. Bleed/Disease

The following information is the approximate total Resistance that each piece will attribute:

• Chest = 22.6% chance to resists DoT type
• Pants = 12.6% chance to resists DoT type
• Helmet = 8.4% chance to resists DoT type
• Arm Pieces = 4.1% chance to resists DoT type
• you can mix and match the armor you wear to come out with your overall resistance possible.

________________________________________

Equipment:

Armor / Clothing / Jewelry

• Top of the line crafted armor is far superior to looted armor, crafted armor can still be made with up to +350 health bonus and you can customize the stats on your armor by using Armor Attachments.

Typical crafted armor stats:

• Reconnaissance - Energy : 7000, Kinetic : 5000, Elemental : 6000
  • Appearances: Mabari, Tantel, Ubese, Ithorian Guardian, Kashyyykian Ceremonial, and Factional

• Battle - Energy : 6000, Kinetic : 6000, Elemental : 6000
  • Appearances: Bone, Marauder, Padded, Ithorian Defender, Kashyyykian Black Mountain, R.I.S. (quest), Factional and Clone Trooper.

• Assault - Energy : 5000, Kinetic : 7000, Elemental : 6000
  • Appearances: Chitin, Composite, Ithorian Sentinel, Kashyyykian Hunting, Factional, Bounty Hunter and Mandalorian.

• Personal Shield Generator - 2400 Energy Resist, 65% recharge time. Note: Absorbs energy damage from ranged attacks only.

What those armor ratings mean:

• 8200 = Absorb 56.58% of damage
• 7000 = Absorb 52.50% of damage
• 6000 = Absorb 48.00% of damage
• 5000 = Absorb 42.50% of damage

Some armor chest pieces do not allow you to wear the bracers and arms, the Mabari Chest Piece for example. Tantel does however. The only advantage of wearing more armor pieces is that you can have extra mods from the armor pieces.

A good Armorsmith can make armor with custom resists, for instance more Kinetic and Energy resists at the expense of Elemental resists. See your local Munitions Trader for more info.

Once you have your armor, you can add some clothing, jewelry and Armor and Clothing Attachments to increase your Stats. The best source for jewelry items are cl92 Elite NPC's and the best Armor and Clothing attachments come from Munitions and Domestic traders respectively.

These are the locations where you can equip non-armor items:

Non Armor:

Necklace
Ring x 2
Bracelet x 2
Shirt (can apply an "Exotic" attachment)
Boots
Gloves
Belt - You may prefer the extra protection of a Personal Shield Generator.
Backpack

That gives you a lot of room for stat boosts without giving up armor resists. Profession rewards belts also have stats, but take the place of a Personal Shield Generator.

Armor:
Helmet
Chest (can apply an "Exotic" attachment)
2 x Biceps
2 x Bracers
Legs

Traders can also supply you with Armor, Clothing and Weapon powerups! These have limited use and each use lasts for a set time only. Here is an example of a fully modded suit:

• Head: +35 Strength, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Left Biceps: +35 Strength, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Right Biceps: +35 Strength, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Left Bracer: +35 Strength, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Right Bracer: +35 Strength, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Pants: +35 Strength, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Boots: +35 Strength, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Belt: +35 Agility, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Bandolier: +35 Agility, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Gloves: +35 Agility, +35 Precision, +35 Luck
• Shirt-Exotic: Strikethrough Chance +5, Assault Crit Chance +4, PVP Crit +3
• Chest-Exotic: Strikethrough Chance +5, Assault Crit Chance +4, PVP Crit +3
• Weapon-Exotic: Strikethrough Chance +5, Carbine Crit Chance +3, PVP Crit +3
• Shirt-Powerup: Strikethrough Chance +7
• Chest-Powerup: Strikethrough Chance +4
• Weapon-Powerup: Luck +50

Stims

Different levels of stims are available for different combat levels, they all last for five minutes and have a 5 second cooldown. Using a stim of greater power than the one you have active will replace the buff, if you try to replace a buff of a higher value, you are told that you already have a similar buff active.

Known issue - Not all of these stims are assigned to any loot tables, for instance, we've not seen any CL80 Lucky Artifacts. Ones marked in gold are highest level confirmed to drop.

There are a wide array of reward stim buffs as well, these are usually a low bonus for a longer duration.

Stims . Note: The stims are listed alongside items that use the "buff" slot so you may end up creating a "Stim" that is actually a buff. Some trial and error is required. Here is a list of looted stims:

Trader Reverse Engineered Modifiers. Traders can use a reverse engineering tool to deconstruct loot items. The tool breaks the items down into their basic "bits": power bits and modifier bits.

These modifier bits and power bits are combined to make skill enhancing attachments, power-ups or even better bits. Finally, skill enhancing attachments and power ups can be added to crafted armor, clothing and weapons to give them a wide variety of bonuses and modifiers. If your crafted Armor, Clothing or Weapon has a socket on it, you can add a skill enhancing attachment to it. Only Constitution, Stamina, Precision, Strength, Agility and Luck modifiers can be applied to all sockets. All other modifiers can only be applied to Armor Breastplate (Breastplate Attachment), Shirt (Shirt Attachment) and Weapon (Weapon Attachment).

Look here for 

Known Combinations . Another Guide to look at is A Bounty Hunter's Guide to SEAs.

If you want to work out how much of a particular mod you can stack in theory, the number in brackets is the "Ratio":
SEA : 35 / Ratio = X (round down this number)
PUP : 35 / Ratio * 2.5 = Y (round down this number)
x + y * 3 = maximum stackable.

VII. User Interface and Macros

By BadgerSmaker

You can fire special moves directly from your toolbar by activating the "Actions can be fired from the toolbar" feature. This allows you to use custom macros to: • Fire multiple special moves at the press of a single button on your keyboard.
• Customize your key layout the way you want it.
• Automatically use buffs, heals and items.
• Switch Weapons, Clothing and Armor
• Call and mount Vehicles
• Call and group Droids and Pets
• Fire off a constant and automatic chain of grenades.
• Travel via shuttles without talking to the ticket droid.
• Loot while in combat
• Automatically mine asteroids in Space

If your a Bounty Hunters that uses rifles here is a Sniper Shot Macro. You need 1 toolbar slot and either a hot key or another toolbar slot for the macro itself. The macro is as follows:

/prone;
/pause .25;
/ui action toolbarSlotxx; (xx is the slot you have the sniper shot)
/pause .25;
/stand;

Works great for anytime you have the action to use the shot. Should be use as a first attack and a finishing move. Feel free to play around with other macros and create you own combos. ________________________________________

VIII. Your First Hunt

Before you go on your first hunt, you need to make sure you are prepared. Expertise is the first thing you need to tweak to make sure it fits your playing style. An example of a template is mine, which is suited for high damage using a carbine.

Carbineer Template

Another example of a template is suited for the high damage rifleman:

Rifleman Template Note: These Templates vary from person to person based on their playing style.

IX. Tactics

You are free to use any methods necessary - Darth Vader, ESB

I have been a big believer in using guerilla warfare tactics, much like the Predator movies and the way wild cats hunt their prey. So I'll use the wild cats' tactic as an example.

"Although there are a number of specialist hunters within the cat family, basic hunting techniques can be broadly categorized into two distinct methodologies. The first and most common amongst wild cats is the Stalk-Run-Pounce approach, in which the cat actively seeks out prey, and the second, the Ambush, in which the cat lies in wait for its prey. Very few species use a single approach to hunting, but usually select the strategy that most suits the prevailing circumstances. Weather conditions, time of day, prey availability and in some instances general fitness or age of the cat may dictate the choice of hunting approach.

The general technique used in the stalking method is common to most species of cat and many people may well have witnessed it first hand in watching a domestic cat attempting to catch a bird."

What does this mean? Simple, after you find out where your mark is, don't just go in blazing fire at your mark (unless you know it is an easy kill). Wait for the right time to attack. Sometimes just running up and attacking is the best tactic, and sometimes it isn't. You have to be aware of your surroundings and make the decision of whether now or later is best. You also have to remember, you are not fighting NPCs. There are people behind these toons and some of them are really good at PvP and using their profession. This is why I feel being smarter is better than being stronger.

Bounty Hunter is not a dueling class. The number of hunters I see "stalking" their mark wearing full Mandalorian or BH armor, carrying a GLC and with their head turning to follow their target is incredible! Titles are another problem. Never have any titles up that would give away that you are a bounty hunter. I suggest either a pilot title or no title at all. Most marks recognize the hunter before they even finish loading! The key to winning is surprise and timing. You have to catch them off guard. If you do, 90% of the time you'll win.

Kill stealing and honor among bounty hunters seem to be a big issue. In my opinion, it depends on the situation and who the other bounties are at the time of the kill. I personally will only split money with those I am grouped with. I don't see anything wrong with kill stealing, because even the best bounty hunters in the galaxy (Boba Fett) stopped at nothing to come out on top. Remember, being a BH isn't about the strongest fighter, it's about who is the smartest fighter. Always ignore those that want you to duel them as well, never let them have control of the situation, because if you do, you lose.
