Dueling Tips

Choose the Advantageous Move

Suikoden 1 - Duel Triangle
Attack If your enemy is defending himself, this move deals damage. But if you attack while your enemy is doing a desperate attack, you will lose a huge amount of HP.
Defend If your enemy does a desperate attack, your character will not receive any damage and the attacker will get damaged instead.
Desperate Attack If you do a desperate attack while your enemy is about to do a normal attack, it will deal a huge amount of damage. If your enemy is defending, however, you will get damaged instead.

Duel battles rely on the duel triangle seen above. Attack beats Defense, Defense beats Desperate Attack, and Desperate Attack beats Attack. Players will win duel battles by predicting your enemy's actions and counteracting them.
