Emotes list
Attack
Retreat
Hold your ground
Battle scream
Fear scream
Yes
No
Never
Don’t kill me
The latter comes in very useful if you want to bluff your opponent into thinking that you’re not going to attack them in return for their own safe passage (muhahahaha). Note :This normally only works once.Nevertheless, emotes are a great way to organise your team.
