Level up your 1.8 PvP mechanics
Aim for 8–12 CPS for consistent hit registration. Jitter or butterfly clicking beyond this often reduces accuracy without increasing hits.
Master W-tap and S-tap to reset sprint mid-fight. This increases your hit range and knockback dealt significantly.
Most top 1.8 PvPers use 70–90 FOV and a DPI of 400–800 for precise tracking and lower sensitivity.
Blocking with a sword reduces incoming damage by roughly 50%. Block-hitting — attacking while blocking — is a key technique to master in close-range fights.
