    I did a test between Axe vs Sword PvP in Minecraft 1.18 and Axe PvP is a lot stronger than Swords in Shield PvP .
    Capade tested this out in PvP Legacy

    Try doing the same thing with enchantments like in netherite pot, you won't get the same results. The axe is 100% superior when it comes to early-game pvp, but the sword shines more during late game pvp

Yeah, you can destroy people by running and critting when you're using an axe and they're using a sword, but the thing that makes it completely fair is that it takes one button (the hotkey to switch to your axe) to instantly start countering this technique with your own methods.

      You can back up for like 3-4 seconds, run in to attack and then step back (sorta like baiting/dream stratting but less annoying) and then you can run in for a crit and then run. You can run into the engage a bit afterwards, and hit them with either a crit/normal hit. Once this first melee fight is over you can repeat with a bit of variation to keep it unpredictable.

    Fun fact: in 1.9 (yes exactly) shields used to block only 2/3 of the damage and you would take knockback from arrows and way more from explosions. So axe disabling wasn't that big of a deal. Also, full hunger regen was only slightly faster than 1.8. 1.11 changed both things.

    Honestly you probably want to get good with both weapons. As a sword main I've noticed that axe players are a lot less aggressive with their playstyle due to their slower attack speed and are harder to combo because they back up a lot after a hit. IMO both are good weapons you just need to know when and where to use them.

  • @OopstheTurkey
    @OopstheTurkey Před 2 lety +5

    I feel like most the ppl in this video were really bad at pvp in general, in the end sword always does more damage bc if you get a lead crit with an axe then mid fight you switch to sword they won’t expect it. Plus diamond axes can only hit once per second dealing 2 hearts of damage to a full diamond (9 attack damage). But the sword hits 2 per second dealing 7 damage per hit (14 damage) sure you could back away, but if you time it just right you will trade hits with them with sword and 14 damage each exchange and they will get 9. I stand by my belief that sword is better than axe damage wise, but it’s mostly situational bc the main time I use axe it just to get rid of ppls shield. You also forgot to mention that swords get more enchantments for pvp: fire aspect, sweeping edge, knockback, etc

    • @geton5324
      @geton5324 Před 2 lety

      Not really. Most of people in this video ARE bad in PvP, but what Capade said is true. Axes are better than swords (shieldless and with shield), but only if a guy with an axe is atleast as half as experienced as a guy with a sword. The situation does carry on on higher PvP'ing levels. For an example, on FFA, given the same armor but different weapons, axe wins. With shield, axe wins (if a guy with an axe is atleast decent). The reason why you might think that "but if you time it just right you will trade hits with them with sword and 14 damage each exchange and they will get 9" is probably because people you fought are bad at PvP. Did you even pay attention to the video? If an axe guy and a sword guy are both experienced axe wins 100%. An Axe guy will not give you any chance to time it right, as it's not only "hit, run a little, hit, run a little", even though that is mostly it. Your solutions to destroying those filthy weak stupid axe players are only useful because of different skill groups. Most people I see in some more casual, non-pvp related servers are horrible at everything (like on manhunt server). I could join the arena there and destroy the entire server, and some people have ranks for their "skillness". Oh yeah, sure, if i can destroy the "netherite" rank guy, should i be given a rank like "enchanted netherite"? The point is that people are mostly bad everywhere you look, including PvPLegacy (but mostly because a lot of new people started playing PvP due to content creators such as clownpierce). So swording them is the easiest thing possible, as they have no idea what to do when you broke their shield and they were unable to break yours. I'm saying all of this from my experience, as my axe and sword skill are pretty much the same. If I were to fight against myself, but it's swordVSaxe a sword would have no chance. Like, what can sword do? Give you more reach? If I had speed I would've had a chance, but not without it. Some more chances if you have shield with "lead crit switch to sword" but i wouldn't just trade hits with someone as good as me as I know of this tactic. Once again, different skill groups. It's not that hard to counter it if you know about it.
      A sword gets more enchantments, but it doesn't do anything in PvP. The only useful only-sword enchantments you named (that are useful in PvP, not PvE) is fire aspect and probably sweeping edge if you are fighting multiple opponents at once, although the damage is really weak, i'd much rather just crit them and take them out one by one.
      And even like that, fire aspect easily countered by fire resistance potions.
      Knockback is kind of a good thing, you can combo more easily with Knockback I (atleast you should, i don't know about that one), but if it's Sword Knockback I Versus Axe then it's giving more of a disadvantage to a sword rather to an axe as it's easier for an axe guy to do the "hit, run a little, hit" strategy.
      You are right about an axe being situational. It's better in somewhat open spaces, better when fighting against someone with better gear than you (for an example, diamond vs iron armor), pretty good for countering someone better than you that has a sword.
      But a sword is much better in close spaces where you cannot run anywhere, and in UHC? The strategy is a bit repetitive, but it works (its basically "break shield, put lava, sword combo"), and an axe is practically useless there because of all the cobwebs & lava buckets. Unless you're much more experienced with an axe than a guy with a sword in UHC you're not going to win that fight with an axe. Although it's not better than axe damage wise, obviously. More DPS if you're fighting against someone unskilled or in close spaces without being able to run anywhere, but not better damage.
      Axe is just objectively better at PvP. Shields, PvP'ing is almost always somewhat open spaces so it's easy to do the "hit, run a little, hit", covering armor disadvantages.
      Meanwhile a sword is only better than an axe at DPS (but only in close spaces without being able to run), and diamond sword is kind of better than a diamond axe if you're fighting against iron armor, which is basically what happens in almost all manhunts (and plus, some fights are close spaces with no options to run), and netherite. But let's be honest: no one does that, everyone does Crystal so sword is barely used.
      I'd also like to say that I like sword more than shieldpvp. ShieldPvP is all about being a pussy, practically mirroring your opponents movements. Sure, there is some insane people with more agressive playstyles, but I've only seen a few in a month, and oh I've fought a lot this month and i've improved, but I'm still getting destroyed, as playing passively for me is impossible, I'm too impatient, hungry for a good fight. I would much rather go play sword than axe, atleast people aren't annoying there.
      But all of this is basically me repeating the script of the entire video, just said differently. All the stuff that Capade said you completely ignored, including the fact that all that he said countered your arguments BEFORE you even commented.

      I agree with your statement however it kinda depends on what situation you are in for example if you are in a 1v1 then the recommanded method is Axe pvp because you need more damage.
      However on like a 2v2 or a 1v2 I recommand using a sword as you need to hit multiple people so you need a lower hit reg.
      This is my opinion if you have something agaisnt this then it is alright i am always up to here other people's suggestions :D

    1. swords are still better ur just backing out. its easy to counter, just get a good sidehit where they cant hit u and then ur sword combo go brrr (unless ur a combo runner dont be one)
    2. bro i've checked every single person u fought in the vid's stats and they were bad. most didnt even play over 20 rounds. (read below)
    3. axe is 85% the time better in shield pvp (the ppl u fought on shield pvp were good so i agree)
    4. on survival and smps axe is better because most people are using shields. But in end game where everyone uses pots and full armor and totems yes use swords. singleplayer survival then just use axe (unless its a more hp mob)

      @@YumiiOGT look there are 6 main gamemodes in 1.18: sword, axe, uhc, diamond pot, netherite pot, and crystal
      4 gamemodes are sword based (sword pvp skill can be abused in cpvp). 1 of them everyone uses sword most the time (uhc). 1 gamemode where everyone uses axe 75% of the time and 25% of the time sword.
      why does everybody use sword? because it has way faster attacks that would deal more hits (damage) than the slow axe.
      also wanna say that in op duels lot of ppl try to axe crit and back away. but that can be easily countered by timing a kb hit while they are in air (u have more reach) and u might get a few more bonus combo hits on them too.
      the sword just has faster attack speed which will give u more damage and this playstyle is agile.
      axe isnt that bad of a weapon either. in sword gamemodes, if u have the time to fully recharge ur axe, go for an axe crit on first hit then swap back to sword. in axe gamemode, axe crit combo can be fun and deadly.
      i would say swords are like 30% better than axes.

    I think that it depends on the person, some people are just better with a sword or an axe, if someone is really good at both then an axe is only really better early game because it does a lot more damage than swords but if you get maxed out gear then sword would probably be better because an axe with sharpness 5 does 2 extra damage than a sword with sharpness 5 and that probably wont make too much of a difference so it would probably better to use a sword. Unless I am way off and a sharpness 5 netherite axe actually does a lot more damage than a sharpness 5 netherite sword in which case can someone let me know in the comments.

To put the nail in the coffin any player used to using totems and swords stand no chance against the absolute wombo combo of the shield and axe and their hits just bounce off of the shield.
