The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day and moving toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day for most "adults."

In cases of the rare case of extreme salt induced toxicity, individuals may suffer from ego death.

salt induced toxicity occurs to those with poor inhibition control. There is no need in becoming over-emotional. Unless of course, you play League. Then you have already lost.

No loss of intelligent life.

What kind of nerd reads an introduction anyway?

Every duel begins with an emote. It can be almost anything.

It is recommended that you bow.

Though any standing gesture will work.

!DANGER!

LAYING DOWN MAY INVITE YOUR OPPONENT TO LAY DOWN WITH YOU!

!DANGER!

EMOTIONAL BONDING MAY DEVELOP.

Friendship is temporary, the pride of victory is forever.

In Elden Ring, if you heal your opponent will heal in turn.

This is a common rule of discourse in all Souls PvP: If you do it so may I.

If you want an answer from the hardcore chads who like having their balls crushed by Agheel's feet:

No healing

Considering how quickly your health bar depletes as so many builds deal absurd damage — Don't worry about breaking etiquette by healing because everybody carries a flask — Healing has always been and remains contentious.




Whether you're in the Colosseum, partaking in a fight club, invading or being invaded. If you're on the losing end and you choose to heal, then be prepared for them to heal in turn.

In conclusion:

Do not let them heal unpunished.






"If you wish to dunk on your opponent.
Chug all of your flask in front of their dumb face. "
~Sun Tsu

I'd like to note that healing wouldn't be an issue if PvP damage was toned down so people didn't die by making a few misplays. If Souls PvP followed more closely to other fighting games and the damage dealt, it would be considerably more fun.

The fight begins as soon as your emotes have completed and you’re walking in small circles and block with your weapon rapidly. This is the standard nonverbal communication you may see from most players as it comes from deep within our unga bunga brains.

If your enemy begins to buff you may respond likewise. Buff to Buff.




The enemy has no obligation in letting you buff.

The duel has begun the second the metaphorical pistol has been fired

if your opponent simply watches you buff instead of attacking. This is not them being courteous, this is them in the throes of the infamous Magical Girl Transformation Fixation Effect.

If your opponent uses what the community has collectively decided to dub as “cheese.” You have every right to point down on their pathetic corpse if you defeat them.



If you are the metamancer, then you too may point down on their pathetic corpse to infuriate your defeated opponent in their last seconds of existence.

When invading a host non-consensually. You’ve entered their world and now they’ve got every right to turn you into Torrent’s breeding ♥♥♥♥♥.


As an invader, you aren't equal to the host and their phantoms. To them you're another obstacle. Your goal is to kill the host as quickly as possible and/or deal as much damage as possible and deplete their healing.


The Gank Squad's here and they're ready to make you drink piss beer.

Invaders do not have to follow etiquette.

Understand that etiquette will benefit the invader more than the host. If the invader can get a fair duel out of the host instead of a phantom, they will be at a significant advantage.

If you're polite, the best thing that will happen is that you'll get a duel with their phantom. If you manage to survive, you can try and assassinate the host.

An invader's build may also be better optimized for PvP.

Friendship is valuable in these trying times and eggs don’t cut it like they used to.

If you enjoyed the duel, consider dropping a message on their steam profile or friending them. Say something kind and sportmanlike, such as: “Git gudder” — “EZ” — or /watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Feel free to go off and die in a ditch somewhere.
