ProcedureEdit

To make a duel a player must send a request to another, the second player must accept and may decide then which type of duel it will be.

• Total Loss Mode: Rarely used in SAO, since it will only stop when a player's HP reaches 0, and that will mean permanent death for the loser. This is the one used for Sleep PK.
• Half Loss Mode: The winner is decided after the other player loses half of their HP. Rarely used in SAO since a critical hit could could reduce someone's HP to the danger zone.
• First Strike Mode: This is the most common, the winner is decided by whoever lands the first clean hit or whittle the opponent's HP to half.
