When to Blockhit and When Not To

[AlgerWaterlow]

Blockhit when:

- fighting one opponent face-to-face when opponent isn't strafing or strafes very little
- when you're four hearts or lower in a 1v1 sword battle
- when you've just killed one member of a team and need to avoid being cleaned up by the 2nd member
- when someone just tried to get a fishing rod combo on you and you don't want to run (will at least cut some of the damage dealt to you)

When Not To Blockhit:

- when chasing someone (something Tomahawk used to do but doesn't anymore)
- when fighting two people at once (unless you're extremely dextrous and thus, good at strafing)
- in water (stops your forward momentum while the other person has greater range due to their constant forward momentum)


To those of you who discarded blockhitting for whatever reason, I strongly urge you to think again. It's never wise to leave the one tool that you'll almost always have at your disposal out of your arsenal. Think.

If any of you have any other specific scenarios to add, I'd be glad to see them posted. However, general "blockhitting's for nubs" related comments are destructive and, frankly, half arrogant and half idiotic.


Good day MCG!

When to: CQC

CQC...hmm, *scratches head*.

Completely quashed and cornered? I'm surprised I've never seen this abbreviation before.

Close quarters combat.

If your opponent isn't strafing, strafing might be a good idea . Also I don't suggest blockhitting if you are severely outgeared. And if someone gets a rod combo on you, either rod them back or flint and steel them and run. block hitting will kill you there. Also block hitting is most op on servers that don't have nocheat

Blockhitting a guy in full iron w/ diamond sword while you have mixed gold/chain/iron + stone sword = good idea. Blockhitting the same full iron guy, regardless of skill level, when in full leather = bad idea.

When to block hit- Always
When not to block hit- Never
I like to block hit.

 

[Sixorr]

The first hit in a fight it might be a good idea, then strafe around him, then repeat is a good tactic imo

Also block hit+ rod

I don't recommend block hitting at all unless you don't know how to use secondaries. Cause even in close quater combat I find myself getting less hits and the other person getting a combo on me usually meaning I did trying to block hit
