When new players enter the arena, they might forget to defend themselves and go completely offensive. While it can work in certain scenarios, players must always keep an eye on their health bar and retreat for a few seconds to regain health. Each server has different PvP rules; some might have food items to recover, while others will not let players recover.

Players must always remember to defend and not get carried away with the adrenaline rush.

Although fishing rods are used to capture fish and other loot from bodies of water, they are also a great tool to use in PvP fights. When the hook is thrown towards a player, it will attach to their hitbox, allowing the other player to pull them.

This is frequently used in many PvP battles as players can perform a surprise attack against their opponents by pulling them closer.

One of the most important combat tactics to inflict heavier damage is critical hits. This can be performed by attacking and jumping at the same time.

Along with crit attacks, players must also keep track of the weapon regeneration bar right on top of the crosshairs. Once the bar is filled, players can deal the attack while while falling from a jump. Doing so will inflict massive damage on the opponent. Players should practice this tactic to better themselves and damage the enemies using crit hits.

Once players learn how to inflict crit damage, they can start using combos to damage their opponents further. If players choose to take the offensive route, they can constantly attack their opponents to get combos. However, players should employ this tactic only after becoming well-versed with the basics of combat.
