Adolin's [[Calling]] is duelling and he frequently resorts to challenging other lighteyes to settle disputes. Since arriving at the [[Shattered Plains]] he has been unable to duel as much as he had previously due to his father's insistence that he follow the [[Alethi Codes of War]] which state that needless duels should be avoided during times of war so that commanding officers are not wounded.{{ref|b|twok|c|18}} Once Dalinar becomes [[High PrinceHighprince of War]] he uses Adolin and his duelling as a key part in his plan to discipline the Highprinces by taking away their Shards in duels. {{ref|b|sa2|c|5}}
 
Adolin has a series of traditions he performs before any duel he fights. While in the preparation room, which is used primarily for meditation, he talks to his unnamed blade before continuing on to the staging room where his armourers help him into his Shardplate. [[Navani]] normally paints a glyphward for him though by his final duel he has move to having [[Shallan]] paint them for him. Finally [[Renarin]] will check to make sure Adolin has eaten chicken at some point before the duel and that he has their mother’s chain on his person. {{ref|b|sa2|c|14}} Navani passes these off as superstitions which Adolin denies. However before his final duel, when he forgot his mother’s chain, both he and Renarin appear visually shaken. By the time his armourers have finished though he seems mostly recovered. {{ref|b|sa2|c|56}}
