Start with control.
Sword PvP rewards the decisions between hits. Where you stand, when you commit and how you leave an exchange matter as much as landing the first attack. Start with consistent aim and a controlled attack rhythm before adding more aggressive movement.
Three things to practise.
Learn your spacing
Approach until an attack can connect, then use small movement adjustments to stay in range. Running straight through an opponent makes your next hit harder to line up.
Time the next hit
Use the attack indicator to learn your weapon's recovery. Repeated clicks during recovery can trade away damage; practise a deliberate rhythm while keeping your crosshair on target.
Choose your jump
A critical hit is useful when the opening is safe. Predictable jumps can make you easier to track and knock back. Mix grounded movement with a jump only when you can finish the exchange.
Try this practice drill.
Play a short set with one goal: keep your crosshair on your opponent through the first three exchanges. After each round, identify whether a miss came from distance, aim or attacking too early. Adjust only that part in the next round.
A mistake to watch for.
Chasing every retreat in a straight line. Pause to recover your spacing instead of giving the opponent the same approach to punish repeatedly.
