We've all been in that situation. Heart thumping we push down on that forward button as hard as we can in an attempt to get our character to move faster. Finally realizing that you won't escape your pursuer, you turn around and in a violent rage of button mashing you rise up the hill. Trudging past block after block to arrive at your mortal enemy. Neck in neck. Ready to destroy him. You raise your sword in attack and then.... he kills you.
Now dying is never a good thing to experience. Not in real life of course. That's definitely not a good experience. I mean in minecraft of course. The entire idea of video games is to have fun killing eachother! Usually. There's always the odd game out that doesn't have some sort of killing included in it. But minecraft can be especially frustrating to die in since you can loose all of your items after it. So today I'm going to tech you how you can become a PVP MASTAH!
Circling
Circling is one of the most basic techniques that you can use in minecraft. Really all you do is circle the opponent and wildly click hoping that it'll hit them. As long as you're paying attention and focus on where you're clicking, this should be pretty effective.
Why is this effective though? Essentially, when you're circling the opponent it becomes difficult for him/her to keep track of you. This is due to many minecraft players using laptops which have touchpads. Touchpads can only rotate your player so much while computer mice can rotate both faster and longer.
Pro tip: If you couldn't tell already you should probably use a mouse whilst pvping.
Rushing
Rushing is a technique that consists of moving towards the enemy as fast as possible and trying to hit the person as many times as possible while you're close to them and then running through them. Minecraft mechanics allow you to move between players, so as long as that is possible, so is this technique.
This works because the enemy does not have time to react when you rush them. This is mainly because they may not be looking towards you or be expecting you to attack them. In fact, when you rush someone, they may not even realize that they're being rushed and dismiss it as a glitch. Of course they won't realize the truth until it's too late.
Pro tip: When rushing, position yourself at a place in which they opponent will not see you coming.
Bowman/Swordman combo
You've probably used this one before without even realizing it. This one can be one of the most deadly techniques that you can use to crush all opposition! The gist of it is that when you're close to somebody you use your sword, and when you start to get farther away from someone you use the bow instead.
This can be somewhat hard to do because while using a bow you're essentially in shift mode. Meaning that you player cannot move as fast as it would if you were not using a bow. This is why you need to be able to recognize when you should use this technique and when you shouldn't. You should use this technique when your opponent is far enough away that they cannot react to your bow and arrows. You shouldn't use this technique when the opponent knows that you are coming or is really close to you.
Pro Tip: You can also find some cover and just use the bow.
Always have the upper ground
Having the upper ground on your opponent can make or break the situation. Having the upper ground provides easier shots with bows and of course the ease of jumping upon one's opponent for a surprise attack. It also allows you to push through the opponent's "attack barrier" so to speak so as to more easily attack him or her.
Pro Tip: Don't obsess over the upper ground. The cover of trees can just as easily help you.
These techniques can and will help prevent you from dying as often in minecraft. I promise that if you use them you will not be dissatisfied with what you're getting. You will never again be defeated by strong men in diamond armor! Instead, it will be YOU who is the strong man(or woman) in diamond armor!
If you like this, diamond it! It'd be AMAZING if it could make it on the popular reel.
