## Does the WAF run before Super Bot Fight Mode?

Rules are evaluated in order. If there is a match for a rule with a [terminating action](/ruleset-engine/rules-language/actions/), the rule evaluation will stop and the action will be executed immediately.

For more information on how rules are evaluated, refer to [Rule evaluation](/ruleset-engine/about/rules/#rule-evaluation) in the Ruleset Engine documentation.
