Ehhhhhh, what's up Doc? Just wanted to give you some context on Armata, Conrad, Hound and what their end game is, but no spoilers. So first and foremost. In order to have a truly badass hero, you need equally badass villains. Conrad and Armata are two very different villains in methods, but they both seek the same goal.... to kill what can't be killed.

As Armata stated before, fighting Hound one-on-one is pointless. No matter how hard you hit him, stab him or shatter him, Hound keeps getting back up. He is a living embodiment of resolve and will. Hound won't stay down, he physically can't do it, it stands against his code. So Armata seeks to hurt Hound mentally or spiritually, by twisting the world against Hound. Hence his plans to corrupt everyone's opinion of Hound. Armata will use Hound sketchy past as fuel to ignite a distrust in Hound, because Hound's greatest strength, is his friends and family. They are the people he will die for and If they turn against him, enough said.

Conrad is different, Conrad seeks to destroy Hound, period. Conrad can not accept Hound's insane ability to survive utter destruction. Conrad sees Hound as symbol of failure, an enemy of the Order he failed to kill. Conrad however seeks to destroy Hound in combat, no tricks or schemes. Conrad's main goal I won't say, but when it comes to Hound, Conrad just wants the satisfaction of watching the life leave Hound's eyes. So Conrad resorts to the methods that spark a fire in Hounds stomach. Slayings, terror, random acts of violence, mamono burning, raids, you name it. Conrad is a savage to his core, just like Hound. These displays bring Hound running and another chance to kill the Wardog.

These three hate eachother, a fight between the three (I warn you.) will be brutal and I think that is awesome that you want to spotlight a quick tussle scene between them.
