Quick tip most people may know this, but using a turtle pot and then a speed 2 pot will basically cancel out the slowness effect of the turtle master potion

[@ataco6987]

But you could get overwhelmed by the opponents speed 2 makjng you lose

[@ProToGoOfficial]

@@ataco6987 my freind turtle master is 60% resistance thats only 40% of the damage. thats 60% of all damage not existing. you can out combo them

[@Shrooman_]

The speed potion is actually not that impressive and its mostly the fact slowness is only applied when you are touching the ground

[@SylvesterNumski]

​@@ataco6987but what if they don't have speed 2 or any speed?

6:20 for anyone watching this with the newest update (1.19) you can now block explosives with a shield

[@shinchanplays2747]

It wouldn't matter if it's a crystal kr Anchor

[@NoorSanli-rv9ot]

No just do it with a block it is easier to get

[@Ghost2ndamendment]

Heads up if you are pvping on a server YOU DO NOT NO WHAT YOUR OPPONENT HAS, so if you plan to crit them out but see them scroll over end crystals or respawn anchors scrap that plan, the second the see you consistently jump they are going to hot key to there crystals and obsidian and send you back to the spawn screen( the reason is because the lower half of your hit box is responsible for explosive damage, so when they see you jump and opening up more of your lower hit box they know they can get the easy kill)

You should use instant harming 2 arrows beacause they neglect armour. You can get quite an upper hand in smp or duels multiplayer or something

sadly protection enchant also lowers the damage of the harming arrow so not really good in prot 4 fights

My progression strat for no lifing smps: Day 1: get a couple diamonds, find a village, build an iron farm, find a good base location (within a thousand blocks of a pillager tower) Day 2: build like a simple 2k-5k em per hour raid farm, build a villager trading hall at your base, start getting god diamond armor with raid farm exp Day 3: do nether fortress/potion stuff, finish up god diamond set, get netherite upgrade templates from a bastion, and start getting magma and mine any netherite you find Day 4: finish collecting magma and build a simple gold farm (I recommend watching shulkercraft’s videos, and also build a simple 2-4 piglin bartering farm, use your spare time mining for netherite (I generally recommend getting 7-8 for each member of your team) Now you have full netherite god armor with totems, gaps, potions as well as respawn anchors from the bartering farm (the glow stone is from the raid farm and villagers) you also have unlimited gunpowder from the raid farm. On long term servers, you could build a better raid farm and gold farms such as the ilmango entity cramming one. I hope this would help anyone who reads this, it is completely achievable with 3-7 hours a day of play time and you should be able to easily kill any of your friends or enemies with your respawn anchors and totems.

I have been looking for a in depth pvp video, one that is for more experienced players and i found it!! I train ppl for 1.16 pvp on a daily basis and while i knew all of the stuff in the video i am very glad i can now tell all my students to what he this video. There are other tips and tricks out there and i know some of them so maybe you could make a sequel of tips and tricks, more strategy then ideas. But like wow, great edit and I love how you have different ppl in it, it makes it so you dont get bored!! Very good job

[@mcnuggets7705]

@@OnlyASquid Ur so underated

[@espul]

we need more people in the pvp community fr, best thing u can do is how in servers like VEN and die thousands of times. It’s important to understand the tier list as well. tier one (best) tier 5 (worst) this is for the more advanced people in the pvp community. For example, i’m tier 3 on the Potion pvp tier list, golfeh is tier 3 crystal tier list, Tryh4rdd is tier 1 potion. i believe rasplin is tier 2? somewhere around there. Tier 5 is everyone pretty much, tier 3 is being able to use crits and w taps effectively without fail, this is where people start to get advanced. tier 4 is anything in between 3 and 5, tier 2 is an improvement of 3, 1 is the mastering of all tactics. (this is for FFA tier list).

[@imnotbluebird4757]

if you are playing defence and the other person is also playing defence, ethier quickly almost instantly break thier sheild and get some good crits and combos! Or go behind them and then axe crit them then sword, break his shield then go.

[@zochitoast]

For any bedrock players (In which there is no attack cooldown), if you know that your opponent doesn’t have xp bottles, nor an extra set of armor, tridents shred armor durability. When your opponent is touching water (or under rain), tridents do extra damage. You can also riptide spam for more damage and armor shredding.

[@PilpyonYoutube]

I like it how you got other people to also explain pvp I feel like it makes the video more entertaining to watch keep up with the great videos!

[@ignShnv]

The healing and strafes part taught me a lot. especially as a player who strafes ALL THE TIME

[@RealSnipingx]

When your shield is down use f to switch to a totem until it's back. Or you can put a bow in your offhand

[@GrandPie]

u should have put whatever is ur offhand key bc of diff keybinds

[@RealSnipingx]

I didn't know you could change it lol

[@GrandPie]

@@RealSnipingx oh lol

[@stardidthat]

thats a bit more maintenance but long term it does seem useful with getting extra hits in, so it may be worth if you plan on having a long fight

[@Kamfys]

I put gaps in my offhand. Most nethpot pvpers do and it saves time

[@lewax345]

That’s the most helpful 1.9+ pvp guide I’ve ever seen! I really appreciate this video!

[@DoggieMan1]

For me I recommend to run away and heal at 5 hearts aswell because I most likely die instantly if I keep fighting

[@okath7235]

As a high ms player, this will really help me learn when to heal and how to counter thanks a lot!

I can agree, unless you treat this as a school lesson and actually try to remember this you'll forget this lol

[@Royfrmdabdg]

Yes, but you can remember some like 2 or 3.

[@Sapo_HP]

This is true

[@orphan-eater]

Pro tip: instead of using the weakness on yourself, throw it on your enemies to weaken them

[@ExitLight886]

I would recommend ( if you can land the throws well) to use harming 2 splash potions as you can't reduce their damage with armor great for forcing you're enemy to heal

[@Kamfys]

Yeah harming is true damage so it could be useful,but its just not worth it unless you have a lot of enderchest space

[@arthurblizzardxd2985]

It’s true that with harming potions armor doesn’t matter but protection armor reduced the damage taken so that’s not worth using

[@nedaugust43]

@@arthurblizzardxd2985 To save space use harming || arrows shield disable, cobweb and bow spam this will do a lot of damage (maybe even a totem pop, they will eat gaps and waste pearls.

Heres a decent mention for the utilites- If you have a riptide trident and bucket, there are some situations where they are good. For example, lets say you dont have any totems left and you have used up all xp bottles. Use this as an opportunity to put your bucket or trident in your offhand, and putting the other item in your hotbar. This can be good for fleeing, while also giving a higher chance of escaping death, and instead of taking 2 hotbar slots, it only takes 1.
