Always be ready for battle. I am fairly decent at pvp, my luck sux tho.
I mean, I laugh at the people who go into chests without looking around, easy prey!
Always be aware of your surroundings.
Flint and steel works best when "fleeing"
Sometimes I will start running even when I have pretty decent health just so I can turn around and light em up. Then I can easily run a few nore blocks and use dem snipes til I move in with a sword to finish it
If flint and steel doesnt work for me, naturally I use my bow.
I am a purrtyy gooooddd shot with it and use it a lot. I spin around, blast with arrow, and then slice em with my sword. Also, if you are having trouble scrolling between items I find setting the numbers in your hotbar to keys easier to reach, like F. I have done it and it helped a lot. I must admit tho, I work better with teams, for lots of reasons. So if you are feeling noobish be sure to team with someone in lobby, there nearly always someone. But be careful, dont keep your back urned too long. Hope this helped, come to my profile if you need any more help, be sure to SMASH that follow button and become the first Falconer <3
