So some people handle things like fishing rods, Flint/steel and bows but don't know how to use them.
(keep reading if your one of those people)

Fishing rods: This can be your life saver or your death (R.I.P). How you use it and when you use it determines this. The first step is to acquire a fishing rod. Normally they can be found in tier 1 chest. But sometimes they make a appearance in tier 2 chest. Second step is using them. To use a fishing rod is just like using a sword. Aim at the target then let it rip. Fishing rods give the advantage of knocking your opponent back. When this happens it often is hard for the opponent to attack because he is is not in the reach of your hitbox. When you hit an opponent back run at him then attack with your sword/axe or if you are feeling like a pro; a bow. BUT. If you are low on health (I'd say 5 hearts is a caution zone) then you should take the advantage to run away. There are a few times when not to use a fishing rod. Don't use a fishing rod and walk backwards until your opponent gets close to you. If you are running away if you hit your opponent while walking backwards turn around and run forwards. DO NOT keep on walking backwards as your opponent will eventually dodge it and kill you on the spot. DO NOT use a fishing rod if you are fighting on a hill and you are below someone. It doesn't do anything but let your opponent jump down and get a couple of hits on you. (keep reading if your one of those people)

Flint/steel: This can be a major game changer. First lets get down to the details of flint and steel. In mcsg there are only 4 uses of flint and steel. When a play is set on fire it takes 3 1/2 hearts away. Using this properly can give you a great advantage. Every half a heart counts (not just hearts). Using a flint and steel is quite easy but lighting your target on fire isn't so easy. Most of my opponents run directly behind me. To light these opponents on fire just turn around and the block directly behind you. However if they are next to you make a fire line (what i call them) here is a chart
Enemy: >
Block: []
fire: ^
> ^[][]
^[][]
^[][]
Vice versa if your opponent is on the other side.
Bow: Spamming arrows does nothing. It sometimes does half a heart but that doesn't matter when someone is coming with a sword heading straight for your cranium. It is best for long/medium distance fighting. The only exception for short range with at d match if someone is heading straight for you. Lighting someone on fire then shooting them is one of the best strategies. There really isn't a way to tell you how to be better at bow except. When someone is running try to time and shoot just a little bit ahead. If you miss on purpose the player will see you shooting and run the other way. You can predict this and shoot the other way.
Hope this helps!
