Tips for 1.12+ PvP

[Deleted member 576174]

Hey everyone!

You might have seen that the network has been updated to 1.12+ and the 1.8 support has been removed.

I am not close to being good in 1.8 but I want to change this and be better in 1.12

Do you have any tips or something I could try to improve in the 1.12+ PvP with that hit cool down, I always try to spam click even though I know it's useless...

I mostly play mini-games or stuff Skyblock, which means I'm a bad PvP player but want to have a decent level and be able to kill at least one player with the new update.

I can hardly ever play with people as I am not good for them, which is true, and playing alone and getting killed every round in the first 5 seconds is not fun at all...

Thanks for helping me!

Firstly you’ll need to find out if you like the sword or axe more. Once you know, learn the cooldown on the weapon. This is crucial.

Then, try to get comfortable and practice a bit. This will take time since you’re used to 1.8 pvp.

Next, I recommend using d/a and s more. This works like this:

Everytime you press W to walk forward, You are gonna have to print to do as much damage as possible. After every hit press d or a to move to the side and almost instantly switch to s. This way you’ll dodge your opponents hits and set up the perfect combo.

I recommend using this. After you’re 100% comfortable with that, try using more critical hits.

But here is the most important tip: set goals for yourself and practice A LOT.

Just play a lot of duels and ffa and you will get better believe me

I use a lot of W-Tap, everytime I hit a player I don't hold my W key and when I walk I hit again so I time the hits. I also use uppercuts, jumping while not critting the player and ofcourse the circiling moves. Circiling with A & D and sometimes with crits & W tap works!

So I guess practicing a lot in things like Duels or something similar would make me improve with time. Correct?

Correct! It’s what I do lol. W tap and S tap are great for getting combos. I also usually wait for my opponent to come to me first and then crit them. Then I get a health advantage and am in a good position to start a combo. It’s also useful to know when to crit combo and when to normal combo. It’s sort of hard to explain though.
