    Brawl honorable combat

    So in brawl mode a lot of players will only engage in 1v1 battles which very often means waiting for your teammate to finish there battle and if they die then you attack. Are you supposed to give honorable combat? In brawl modes I am very often not sure what to do when I kill my enemy and my teammate is still fighting his. Am I supposed to wait for them to finish there battle?

    Two reason to not engage un 2vs1: first the so called honor (everybody know FH isn't just a game) and secondly if you go so, there is a huge chance your opponent will go for revenge mode...It's up to you. Personally I like a slow and bloody kill

    It's your choice, there are no in-game rules about what to do in this scenario.

    If you want to use Bot behaviour as your example of what to do, well they will join right in and double team the last man standing.

    So will I if my team mate is losing.

    We went into combat together on the same side, my job is not to go home and tell his wife and children that I watched a Samurai cut his head off because I wanted to be polite.

    Well, since the only people I've seen in brawls thus far are light spamming assassins and shugoki only capable of suplexing people, I'll double team as a matter of course. I main Conqueror and Warden, so if treating light-spamers like the garbage they are is the only way to win, so be it.

    Up to you entirely, there's no right or wrong.
    However it's funny how easily the "honorable" crowd break their principles when they're losing.

    Just don't be one of those people who watch their teammate die just so they can get a free hit or two when the enemy goes for the execution.

    And also remember that the enemy may take the teamup personally and try their hardest to kill you in te cheesiest way possible.

    I'd say that generally the rule of thumb in Brawl is the so-called honorable combat. During regular times, I rarely ever see people jumping for the 2v1 off the bat, or even engaging in 2v1 after their win.

    With the global order, you're probably pretty safe to just ignore that until it's done though, as tons of people who don't care about Brawl and are only there to grind out as many fast matches as possible will be prevalent.

    Very true. Not only that, but there's the Order to get X amount of takedowns in Brawl, and sorry for any honourable players out there, but if I can get 2 per round and be done with the Order faster that way, then the gloves are off and the 'rules' are out the window

    I try to be honorable and let my teammate finish. I will attempt to interrupt an execution though. If you are low on health and have to fight a second opponent you don't want them to get the execute.

    If my son and I play on a team we use the first round to determine how the whole thing is going to go. We will play with honor, no double teaming, no ledge pushing, etc. If the other team plays similarly then we will continue to play that way. If they don't play that way, well let's just say things will get ugly quickly.

    For me it depends on the opposing team. In general, I won't interfere with my teammates fight, even if they're losing. I will reciprocate when the opposing team is 'honorable' and doesn't double team us, or makes a point of avoiding environmental kills. All bets are off if the opposing team double teams us, or use cheese tactics, light spam, vortex attacks, emote spamming after a victory,etc.
