Make sure to stay updated as I might make more kits in this post :D

I hope you like these, I am pretty good with coming up with good kit names and accessories so I can almost always make a good kit :)

I like your idea about the beginner kit, but I don't like The End.
You added a pickaxe with efficiency 10.
In that case, why should you add stone blocks if you have a great pickaxe like that?
You can't build up, because because the opponent chops blocks under you!

Reason for that is if a player blocks them self in obsidian then you can get them out. But ill just change it now

Edit: I changed it a bit. Thanks for the feed back!

My kit:
OP Survival Games

• Iron Sword with sharpness 2 and unbreaking 1.
• Full iron armor with protection 2.
• A bow with power 1 and unbreaking 1, called 'Katniss's bow'.
• 20 arrows.
• 32 bread called 'Peeta Bread'.
• An iron axe with sharpness 1 and unbreaking 1.
• 2 potions of harming.
• A shield
• Water and lava.
• 64 wooden blocks.
• 2 golden apples.

This is my kit, I hope you guys like it :D!

Sounds fun, I like that kind of kit with multiple options for what to fight with. Maybe it would look better to only use items that are available in survival games (no blocks, add healing potions, are there harming potions?) and use some different armor types and enchants while keeping a similar level of protection.
It's somewhat similar to the Op Skywars kit, so it might be worth to change the combat a little. Maybe add a golden sword with Fire Aspect II so you can switch between the three weapons.

Oh lol I meant healing potions :p

Very similar to what @MagnificentSpan has mentioned, I think a long "Armour Kit" would be fancy!
Mode: Overpowered
Name: Shiryion
(Translated from Hebrew, it means "Armour)
Two sets of Iron-Armour, the first one you will already be equipping, enchanted with Protection V/5.

and to top it all off, a small fancy weapon;

A diamond sword, enchanted with Unbreaking III/3, and Sharpness V/5.

For the potion effects:

Regeneration V/5

Strength V/5

Resistance III/3

Hunger enabled, in the off-hand, I think 8 steak should be suffice.

The sword should be on the first slot, and the helmet-*&*-boots 2nd, and 3rd slot. on the right edge of the hot-bar, the leggings-*&*-chestplate should be on the 9th, and 8th slots. so it would look like this:
Sword(1) Helmet(2) Boots(3) X X X X Chestplate(8) Leggings(9)
The numbers represent the slot's number.

Side notes:
I think eating in-duel shouldn't be a thing to neglect, I like fighting, but I want to care about other things, than my opponent's armour-durability.
and also, I love the satisfaction of the armour, popping off the opponent's what-will-be corpse.

Name: Quickdrop
Mode: 1.8
The only way to kill your opponent is to get a combo of 5 or 6 hits in quick succession, otherwise their regeneration will exceed your DPS and it's time to take a step back and set up the next combo.
Whereas the recurring trend in most kits is to have to slowly drain your opponent, Quickdrop takes opposite approach: instead of cumulative damage dealt, it's all about fitting the most hits into the shortest time.

Weapon: Diamond Sword - Sharpness 5
Armour: Leather Hat, Leather Tunic, Leather Leggings and Leather Boots - All Unbreaking 5
Effects: Permanent Regeneration 5, Speed 1

(30 second example)

Not all games go as quickly as in the example; if both players are reliably able to break or dodge the other's combo, fights last much longer until generally one player is forced into a choke point and can't escape their enemies' hits.
(Another 30 second example - ignore the later half)

Settings:
- Hunger Disabled
- Breaking Blocks Disabled
- Normal 20 health points (10 hearts)

If anyone can think of a different name (maybe Regen or Combo) or wants to suggest some balancing changes, I'd greatly appreciate some feedback!

Does that work reliably with cubecrafts weird knockback? I have only played very few classic duels, but my strategy always was to go for one critical hit and then let the insane knockback throw me out of my opponents reach. Would you be able to kill me if I do that?

Thanks for the feedback!
I find it does work for nearly all players - your strategy would naturally stop them from killing you, however it also means you are unable to kill them - therefore I expect most players would strafe more instead of the strategy of trading hits and letting the knockback throw them apart.
Of course, players may still play this way which can make it harder to get a combo, so maybe speed 2 would counter the 'insane' knockback better, and strength / the removal of the helmet would mean fewer consecutive hits are required for a kill. I wouldn't want to decrease the rate of regeneration as that would just encourage people to back away after hits more in order to regain health.
Ultimately, the rapid durability loss of the armour means neither player can create a stalemate (as is possible with many kits) as with every armour piece that breaks, a shorter combo is necessary to finish them off.

 

[CommunistCactus]

This kit is for OP mode
Name: Shell

The other armor pieces have the same enchants as the helmet.

The enemy will only die when his/her armor is (mostly) broken.

Since apparently End Crystals are widely used on survival servers, I thought it would be useful to learn using them in duels. At first I tried to recreate end game survival gear, but End Crystals do very little damage against Protection IV diamond armor on cubecraft. So I came up with this kit:

Crystals (Insane):
- Diamond Armor (Projectile Protection II)
- [1] Wooden Sword (Unbreaking III)
- [2] Bow
- [3] 16 x Obsidian
- [4] 32 x End Crystal
- [5] Diamond Pickaxe (Efficiency V)
- [9] 16 x Carrot
- [Offhand] Shield
- 32 x Arrow
- Permanent Slowness 1

I didn't test it much and I'm not sure hoe fun this would be against random players.

Edit: I tested it a little and made some changes.

I tried making a kit similar to this a while ago, and it was pretty difficult to do much with the crystals themselves as players can easily run away from it by the time you blow it up. You'll end up running out of crystals rather easily that way.
A way to remedy that, is to give players slowness 2 arrows so it's difficult to run from the crystals.
(also, when being able to place obsidian, also give an option to break it when needed)

Normal & Classic kit:

Spoiler: Miner

You start with a stone pickaxe, 32 cobblestone, some cooked fish and tnt. Torches are an athstaetic. You are dressed with blue leather armour with an iron helmet, representing what a miner would look like in real life.
The goal of this kit is to teach every youngster out there that they should ALWAYS wear a hardhat where heavy things can fall on their head.
This kit can be for both 1.8 and 1.9 pvp, since it's simply just fighting with a pickaxe.
This in 1.8 is a little less special considering there's no pickaxe cooldown, making it just a "weaker sword".

Special settings:
Block placing & breaking is enabled
TNT is place-to-prime (not throw)

I added permanent slowness 1, reduced the amount of building blocks and replaced the food with carrots so you have to stop and eat more often.

Sharpness V diamond sword
Bow
16 Spectral arrows

Potion effects:

[MrGrumpyCheese]

Name: Seeker

Items:
Sharpness V diamond sword
Bow
16 Spectral arrows

Potion effects:
permanent invisibility
permanent strength II
permanent swiftness II

Insane mode?

 

[SpankMeSanta]

Insane mode?

Yes

 

[SpankMeSanta]

Insane mode:
Bow
16 strength arrows
Permanent weakness potion effect
Projectile protection 5 iron chestplate
Shield in offhand

The trick is to shoot yourself with a strength arrow, because you can't hit the opponent if you have weakness so you have to make sure you have strength to damage the opponent.
Proj prot 5 chestplate and shield is to prevent people bowspamming you to death (if you absorb all their arrows then you've won pretty much because they can't hit you, so play smart)
I tested this with @MagnificentSpam and it seemed fine
