    It depends on the player and the situation. At a lower level axes can be effective when you're fighting players that don't know how to use a sword, but against higher level players using an axe in most cases is just a death wish (unless we're specifically talking the axe / dream kit, but even then some of the top players are sword mains in that kit). Dream is the one that popularized the idea that axes are better and even he has abandoned that idea nowadays after getting repeatedly rolled by sword mains
    To put it another way: axes can be good situationally but if you take two players that are both higher level but one has an axe and the other has a sword, more often than not the person with a sword will win.

      @@monkeman5494 I don’t have to come up with a “unique” or better point if it’s just the truth. I can say it until i’m blue in the face but you probably just have to actually experience fighting a good sword player yourself to get the point. I don’t know a single higher tier player in any niche of the community that believes axes are overall better than swords in the majority of situations (including axe kit mains). Axes take less skill to use which is why they’re pretty good at a lower level against players that aren’t any better with a sword, but the higher up the totem pole you go the more likely the guy you’re facing is just gonna roll you with a sword if you bother with the axe.
      Even in the axe kit there is this weird hotbar layout some people that are pretty good and bored do to troll where they replace their shield with a crossbow in their offhand, and everyone knows the counter to that is to just sword them. Including the guy who started that trend

    One thing to note is that when the guy was talking about prot 4 netherite I would assume he also meant sharpness 5 sword and axe, where in that case the DPS difference is even greater than just like 1 or 2 damage it because a pretty huge difference in DPS. This doesn't change the fact that in MOST scenarios the axe is just better though, but then again things shift when you're not going against 9 year olds because extra DPS doesn't matter when your opponents clearly cannot aim.

    I will say it also depends on how many hits you need to kill the player. For example, if a person has full iron and u have a chance to pick a diamond axe or a sword, axes perform overwhelming good even without a shield just because of the fact that u only need 3 crits or 2 and a half to finish the job whereas in the same scenario if they had full prot 4 diamond I would rather go with swords as even if the opponent gets a lot of crits on me I have a better chance to get him to the same health by combos as we need to get through way more hits. But if the same happens in the axe kit, axes are not worse in any way as if u get at least 2 or 3 crits there no way to heal and u have to get an insane combo with 4 hearts. So, there's no point of saying that axes are only good with shields because that is just simply not true.
    Edit : I absolutely agree with you great work!!

    The best way to pvp is using axes to break shields and catch runners, while swords do more dps and are overall better at killing players. The best thing you can do is stab people with the sword as fast as possible(after cooldown) and when they block switch to axe and break their shield, then just keep stabbing

    Before anything, just know that I'm saying it for all 1.18 smp or multiplayer survival server since in your title it says "1.18 pvp"
    The reason why sword is better in netherite pvp is because usually they will have pots. If you use strength 2 pots with a Sharp 5 netherite sword it will do 17 damage since strength 2 gives +6 damage. While a netherite axe does 19 damage. So even though the axe still does 2 damage more, the attack speed has a huge difference whilst pvping. Also, if they also have speed 2 pots you can't really back up and run while your axe cooldown is down. The axe is still useful in most situations like shield disabling, but in my OPINION the sword is better.

    Capade, I have just recently started watching your videos and am liking them a lot. One thing I don’t get, however, is when you said that no one was talking about SMPs. 95% of the Minecraft player base will never touch Minecraft pvp servers and will instead stick to single player. Then the majority of the remaining players play almost exclusively on SMPs. This is why people are saying that swords are better than axes. You spend more time maxed out on an SMP than you do unmaxed. Think, when but during a small window of progression are you goi g to be fighting an opponent with unenchanted diamond armor and tools. Swords have much higher dps at max and with pots like strength and speed 2 you can shred axe players because it becomes much harder for them to land crits due to speed. The knock back trick with the axe to keep out of sword range won’t work due to netherite’s inconsistent knockback. When an axe player tries to land a crit, a decent sword player has simply clicked twice and delt 34 damage as opposed to the 28.5 damage from the crit. It is also much easier to consistently land crits with swords due to the cool down being the same as the rate at which you fall. I just wanted to say this to you because I wanted any new players just starting out that if you have to pick 1 or the other, pick a sword.

    With netherite armor, high-damage attacks do less damage than usual, so the sword does slightly less damage with more attack speed.
    Also, when you fought the person with a sword, it was actually a really close fight until they started starving. You probably only won because you were better at PVP. I found it a bit ironic when you mocked that person for starving while you were at one hunger bar, and then you stayed away from them for the rest of the match-almost as if you didn't want to fight so that you didn't lose. of course, you could have just been doing that for content or because it seemed funny that they were starving because you forgot food, but either way, that duel never had a fair end, at least in my opinion.

    3:43 Hey do you know how sword combos work? I think it is pretty well known that to combo usually swords are better in any version. Why is that? That's because when you hit someone they obviously take knockback and a player with backwards momentum has less reach than a player with forward momentum, so combined with the speed at you can attack this makes swords kinda better. (for combos ig...) Im not saying you are wrong, but i think that dude meant that if a player that uses a sword hits a player that uses an axe he'll be able to hit again while sprinting to do the same thing again, but a player using an axe does that he's not gonna be able to hit before the other player is gonna loose all their backwards momentum.

    Its based on your gear and who you are playing against, I know what they mean by "with netherite armor and totems" because I put thought into it, netherite armor decreases kb and thats pretty much what your strategy is based on. Hitting, running away, and hitting again. Plus, the shield break of axes are really useful on 1 to 1 combat because you can deal damage and prevent them from damaging you, but in most cases swords are better for the combo, the higher dps, and the more spread out damage so you deal more damage if your hit gets blocked.
    tldr:
    1. strat is based on kb, netherite reduces kb
    2. totems > shields, 1 less use for axes
    3. dps
    4. spread out damage so when its blocked you get more damage
    extra notes:
    if you have a very hilly terrain that makes your strat completely useless because you need to get out of range
    you were fighting people who were much worse than you, you can't prove a point when everybody knows its rigged from the start
    you can strafe away from axe crits, making it much harder to beat you

Speed so it has less dps” wel there is a strat called “running away” so ye if u died from trying this strat…. GIT GUD
    Second of all it doesnt matter what weapon you use u just have to be good with your weapon of choice u could go up against a person with a diamond sword and u have a stone axe u can still dap him up
    Thirdly pvp is more than just weapon dps there is more stuff to account for like movement and *CONFUSION* strats also dont forget about intimidation tactics like the fake hp. advantage there is two kinds of fake hp advantage being agro when low tricking the opponent into thinking you have higher hp and vice versa, and bow aim and stuff u cant just aim and it will hit the arrows are affected by gravity so you have to aim higher depending on theyre distance pvp does not only consist of melee pvp so keep in mind u could be a god with the bow and beat an axe player

    If you’re talking specifically about axe PvP, the axe is definitely strong, but once you disable someone’s shield it is far from optimal to keep using the axe. The sword has way higher dps and a high skilled player is going to be able to crit you if you run away or combo you if try to fight them with the axe. The axe’s main use in the kit now is to disable shields, punish shield disables, or backstabs which have kind of fallen out of the meta recently. After that it’s just more optimal to use the sword. The only way I can see axe really being better than sword at all is if you have a really high ping. And that’s just for axe, for any other kit the sword is so far superior the axe usually isn’t even included in the kit. Maybe I’ll believe you if someone heavily uses the axe and gets insane results but that’s just not really a thing anymore. I could go into more detail about other kits but I think I’ve explained my viewpoint well enough already.

    What people are trying too say when they say that experienced players are better with swords they mean that if 2 bad players fight, axe will be superior But if to skilled players fight, the sword will be superior. When you know how to use the sword well the sword will be better that an axe in the hands of someone that is skilled with an axe. The sword does more damage faster. More damage per second. If you hit imedeatly after the damage bar is full. So if you can get a hit as soon as the bar is full the sword is better that axe.

    in full netherite, the combination of shield and sword are better than just using axe. Netherite reduces kb thus enabling a sword user to get close enough to continuesly hit you (unless their aim is bad ofcourse). Without netherite armor axe players can achieve hit trading, securing them a victory, as axes do more damages per hit. (also you debunking that axes are better than swords when wearing netherite by 1v1ing a random guy wasn't really evidence). But as I said if there is no knockback resistance I agree with you.

    If you think about it, in real life axes would be better in medium and close range combat because of they’re ability to deal lethal damage anywhere they hit, of course there are specific swords that would win against any axe, even battle ones, like the long sword.
    Though in general in most cases in real life between same level experience fighters axe would come on top, considering variables like damage first person to succumb to the dealt damage and more.
    My opinion may not be based of science but it is based off of logic and probably JS simulations if I’m not too lazy to actually code them up.

    Swords are better, as 1 hit with a axe is 2 hits with a sword, if the sword is netherite it does 8 attack damage, 8+8= 16 meaning its 16 attack damage vs like 15 or 14 (i forgot the attack damage with the netherite axe) and even then you might be able to get a third hit in with the sword

    so swords can just have more dps but axes deal more damage in one hit but they take longer reload time. axes can disable sheilds too. It would be best to carry both 2 weapons. if shield is diabled then sword is better than axe if the person using the shield knows how to aim, strafe, time clicks and sprint reset. Sprint reset might not work for netherrite but it works for other armour and s tap is op if you know how to use it. If you chasing someone use your axe to first hit more damage then change to sword. If you are in a trading hits just use sword because sword has more dps. For SMP part I think most people refer to SMP because what else would you play in 1.9+ to fight other people unless practice i guess. but then again for netherite just use crystals and anchors. if you know how to hold a combo and are good at strafing swords are better in early game if no shield.

  • @poppinkringles
    @poppinkringles 2 роки тому +1

    I am a top tier sword pvper and to a certain extent i agree with the sentiment. With the scenario presented I agree that it takes a lower amount of skill to win with axe in full diamond than it does with a sword. However if you take two top tier players the sword player will win more often. You can bait a punish crit and jump reset to start a massive crit chain against a defensive axe player. In general you can also play classic sword defense and get simple 1 hit wins and occasionally 2/3 hit uppercut catches as well. This is effective because defenive play is the meta for sword. In general when you are more knowledgeable of the options available in melee combat the sword becomes much better in the scenario presented. So to conclude if your not great at melee combat axe Is better, but if your great at melee combat the sword is likely better. Of course this is not taking into account 1 thing and that's ping. If the opponent is high ping I think the opponent takes the edge, however I don't consider High ping fair for 1v1s for numerous reasons(high ping being anything over 80 ping roughly.) Also I when you bring up netherite, swords are way better due to the lack of kb making crit chains way better. Simply escaping combos with netherite is much harder compared to diamond. This is fairly basic knowledge even at lower skill levels. Backing up from crit chains is simply not pheasible with netherite.

      @@thefunnemonke796 you have to apply to the tier list. Ht3 skill level makes you excellent at the game. I've taken games off of almost every top north American player. I've seen your gameplay and it's bad, you can't aim for shit, you whiff s taps constantly I'm on a different level of the game than you are. In terms of raw fundamentals like spacing aim combos and shit I'd easily say I was t2 at my peak, but the meta at the top is all crit setups,jump resets,and uppercut approaches skills I'll admit I'm not the best at. I know sword so much better than you, the skills you think that you need to improve on to be good I've essentially mastered already. The top of sword is so optimized so wildly focused on abusing jump reset momentum and crits, their simply is no room for spacing and combos. Its a hard thought for lower level player to process that no matter how good they are at spacing,aiming,and combos they can never be the best with just those skills. Hell tbh you can barley be ht3 with those skills, I've literally beat someone with trigger bot and velocity who could w tap great by abusing jump resets and crit approaches, the man literally was spacing better than any human could ever dream of and couldn't win. It's hard for me to know how you feel, just looking at your gameplay I'm not sure I was ever that bad at sword before switching I was already great at 1.8 and I figured out consistent w taps fast. But I'll say this when I made this comment I was one of the best active na sword players at that time.
