The importance of mental warefare in a duel.

So, first emotion, not only broadcasting your emotion leave a small micro echo in the force that will warn your opponent sixth sens(preco..) but if your opponent can read your mind you are just ****ed... Especial against a super athletic force user who can deflect blaster bolts and bullet with his lightsaber.
But Again some Jedi are so gifted in rpecognition that hidding your mind with have just so little effect.
So you can also use strong emotion burst like a mind flash bang, but to do so you need a special mind structure and be able to think act and plan with your subconscious like if was your conscious to make it effective..

Then there is the Dun Möch technic, and there is different level of mastery :
Taunting.
Will Breaking
I'm in your mind sucker. Hum I can feel your lust for me. (Kamari Vosa in Bounty Hunter the game..)
I'm in your mind and I'm using your memories and information I found about you, and I'm using them to taunt you.
Same but will breaking.
AWP Sniper. Slowly influencing the mind of the opponent in a very subttle and sneaky way to search within his mind find one big weakness and then pull the trigger open your mouth and convince that your opponent has no real reason to fight you. Or you were never meant to be a Jedi or something like that.

Anakin vs. Obi Wan of course

Hum Maul about mentak warfare. Was good in episode I.. Anakin V.S obiwan anakin hate obiwan, and obiwan is just too much stoïc....

NB : some emotions can boost some capcities so yhea...

AurRA Sing killed masters, in very large part due to this reason!

So like HK-47just said in KotOR I and II that raw skill and power are futil against force users....

Mental warefare and strategy by going Cyrus like (Cyrus is character from Down of War 2, he is a scout space marines that is not very powerfull but can finish entire campaign all by himself. Duee to effective rtaps remot explosives, explosives pack, invisibility sniper rgenae launchers flashbangsbe able to reinforce his squad no matter the position can automaticly resurect a suad leader down, being the best bloddy magpie ever, and in the non canonique version some of your suad members can fall to chaos, they gain different toys like bolters etc... Cyrus gain the command of entire legion. We can say that HK-47 go cyrus like in order to kill jedi.)

Anyway I'm glad that Q99 aknowledge this as a fact.
And I hink this also why Revan seem to be evry powerfull, and again listenning to HK-47and Kreia, there is no doubts Revan was master at this art. And I kinda like this version of the character, more than the one that succed because mary sue...

Vitiate understood the importance of mental warfare in a duel very well.

Seems to be what some non-Force sensitives use to get a one-up on their Force-sensitive enemies.

Nah, i believe you're confusing that with PiS, bud.

It does blend in with PIS at times, but even if it is PIS, this is what some non-Force sensitives claim to use as a means of getting the upper hand against Jedi/Sith.
