I was bored and I thought about some pvp tips and tricks and here they are----> Tip 1. Proper building method : 1 good way to build on sw is build 10 blocks up then to there island. By doing this the opponent will be stunned or suprised. Tip 2. Strafing: when you build above your opponent his immediate reaction is to usually start swinging in front of him. Well when he starts swinging in front. Loop to the left or right. This will cause him to miss his hits and you will have the advantage. Tip 3. : Inventory setup: I use a certain inventory setup. This helps me to know where everything is and what number to click. Here is how my inventory is. 1. Slot: sword or axe. / 2. Slot: Fishing pole. / 3. Slot: Lava. / 4. Slot: Bow / 5-6 Slots: Food/ 7. Slot: Water/ 8. Slot: Gapples. / 9. Slot: blocks Tip 4. Fishing rod combo: Whenever going to attack someone use the fishing rod combo. But before I talk more about that here is a glitch everyone should know and use. It's called the infinite Fishin rod. How this works is when your fishing rod hit someone it doesn't take any durability. How to do this glitch is right as the Fishing rod hits the opponent switch back to your sword. This will allow it to not take durability. Ok now let's talk about what this does to the enemy. When doing the fishing rod combo it stuns the player right as it hits them. This allows you time to run to them and kill them while the are distracted. That's how to do the fishing rod combo. Oh and I forgot to mention when using the fishing rod and hitting someone. It can actually cause the enemy lag. Tip 5. Lava: As we all know in Skywars on Squadcraft you do not have flint and steel. So I use lava instead. What lava is good for is taking down a heavily armored enemy or if you are low on hearts and need to run. Here is a example I made of how to use this lava. Example: say you are on the melon map and there is one player left and you have no armor only a axe and the other opponent has full enchanted diamond, and say you attack and are hurt more than they are and you need to run but they are behind you. Well what to do is run and jump and place the lava. Sometimes you get on fire if you aren't careful but if u are careful u will be fine. Another pro about lava is it causes the enemy to get slow and trapped unlike with flint as steel. Tip 6. Bow combo: This combo might not be a vey helpful thing because it is kinda rare that you get a bow with arrows on squad unless you are a donor, but I thought I would include it anyways. So what you do is right when approaching as enemy with a little bit better armor than you shoot him. Then charge and use the strafe method and a future method I will include. This will cause the opponent to be lower hearts than you and for him to be stunned for a moment. Tip 7. Snowball method: we all know that those snowballs can be very annoying. Although they can become lethal in the right hands Lel xD. Well let's get on with the tip. Ok so what you do is the exact same thing as the bow combo tip except with the snowballs. When doing this it will stun the enemy And make him unaware of you. Tip 8. Confidence: When going into a pvp fight be confident about yourself. This might seem sketchy but the more confident you are, the more likely you are to win a fight. Simple as that! Tip 9. Being aware: When entering a fight always be aware of your surroundings. Always check for gaps or holes or even areas where you can be hit off. Always remember this. Tip 10. Hitboxes: This is a optional thing, but I use hitboxes because it allows you to see items in the ground and it allows you to see players better. Tip 11. Block hitting: what block hitting is, is when you hit your opponent and block at the same time with your sword. To perform this you must left click and right click at the same time. By duing this it will reduce the amount of damage you will take. Tip 12. Crit hits: to perform this what you do is jump while hitting your opponent. Crit hits can double the damage you apply to the enemy. Also this can be very deadly with the Crit hit and block hit combo. Tip 13. Being a pro: lol jk I just wanted to add that for the Lels. Well I hope this helps you out!!! Also I know I probably missed a lot I am very tired and this is all I could think of.
Well, between building up and using lava, those are pretty noobish, and in 1 second I jump, bow shot, fishing rod, and double hit strafe. Its the only 5 step 1 second GOOD PvP strategic advice I can give. For tip 3: I don't need blocks either.
Umm I don't mean building really high. Just enough above your opponent to have a jump attack on him. Also lava is a last resort option if ur fighting a guy with full diamond.
Still. My advice is building in a straight line toward their island and if they move left, so does the bridge
Mm I only block hit like, if im really truly low on health, which rarely happens, and my bro nicknames me jumpy Jonny
Lol. Also I didn't think about blocks needing to be in the inventory when I did the inventory section. Like I said I am very tired plus I have been playing lots of sg lately lol
Also, if the person you are facing has better armour, the way I usually beat them is either by the always going straight for them, forcing them backwards, making them get less hits, OR, water stream battles! (always be on the bottom and if you get knocked out then press forward and sprint button at the same time to be glitched back ~70% of the time).
I play sg, try and fail to yolo, lose to the last player because they haven't killed anyone and camped after getting 20 chests with full iron armour and stax of snowballs in them.
