Rushing
Once you spawn in, you should wait for the minimum amount of blocks needed to bridge to the enemy base. You do this because you want to suprise them and get their bed while they aren't expecting it. For the first rush you shouldn't bring any tools. If you're quick enough your enemy won't have the time to place any deffence so getting their bed shouldn't be a problem.
Later on in the game, you should have an axe and a pickaxe. Using TNT is bad. Its better to spend that gold on Iron Armor/Iron Sword/KB stick/Golden Apples.
Reducing your KB
So here are some tips on how you can take less knockback (kb):
Ladders, you ladders when you're in a bridge fight. If you shift while you're on a ladder, you will take little to no KB.
Putting a block in front of you and running in it, this can be useful if you're near a edge and you sense that you are gonna get knocked off. If you do this strategy your KB will be reduced and you can block clutch easier.
Putting a block above you, if you don't have ladders, simply put a block above your head. This will make you barely move if you get hit. (Note: the block has the be right to your head,thats 2 blocks)
High CPS & Strafing,if you're on a straight bridge with no blocks. Best way to take as little KB as possible is to have high CPS and strafe. Minecraft mechanics work so when you have higher CPS your character moves more vertically (up). Which reduces the chances of you getting knocked off.
Blocking your sword, this does reduce your KB and you take less damage. But you will rarely come in a situation where you can use this. Best time you can use this is when you place a TNT, you will move less from it and you will take less damage from it.
This isn't something that you can "abuse" but it is a useful thing to know. Once you fall on the ground, you will take fall damage. While you're taking the fall damage,if you get hit by a enemy, your KB will cancel, giving you a chance to start hitting your enemy.
Bridging
Going up, when you bridge try to go a couple blocks higher then the island you're bridging to. This will make it harder for your enemies to use your bridge (to come to your base).
Ninja/Speed bridging, if you already don't know how to ninja/speed bridge, you should practice it in a single-player world or creative (on Jartex). Having the speed to go to your enemies base quicker is a big advantage.
Once you're in a bridge fight, always keep the high-ground. While you have the high-ground, your opponent can't hit you off.
PvP-ing
As you may have noticed, most deaths in Bedwars are void deaths, so dealing more KB is something that you should do. Now this is how you can deal more KB.
-Block-Hitting, this is good because everytime you hit somebody,your sprint resets and you take less damage while blocking
-W-Tapping, This is better then Block-Hitting, you will have more speed and thus you can push your player farther back.
-S-Tapping, this is similar to w-tapping,but it creates a bigger gap between you and the player, which means that its harder for the player to hit you, if you're comboing them.
Using blocks to start a combo:
Well this is a useful technique, in bedwars there aren't any projectiles (except the bow) that can be used to stop the player. But if you place a block in-front of the player this will slow them down (and make them take more KB,because they aren't moving) and you can start a combo on them easier + you will deal more KB to them.
Gapples, these are useful because you get 8 seconds of regeneration + 1:30 of absorption. You should eat gapples before a fight, you will be able to take more hits.
Ladders
Ladders can be used to reduce your KB but also to reduce your fall damage. Taking fall damage is bad and its easy to prevent it. Just place a ladder a side of a block and land on it. You will take no fall damage and if there is a player under you, you will take less KB from them (because you are on a ladder).
Bridging with ladders, if you bought ladders and you don't have enough blocks to finish your bridge, you can use this trick. Place a block, then a ladder right after it, then a block again. This means that you can use laddders as a block in-between 2 blocks. This is a good way to save blocks.
Emeralds & Diamonds
These are the things you should buy with Emeralds:
-Pearls
-Jump & Speed pots.
Don't buy diamond armor, obsidian or punch bows.
With one set of pots you can destroy a bed and if you have a pearl on top of that, you can escape your enemies.
These are the things you should buy with Diamonds:
-Sharpness
-Protection
-Trap
Don't buy Iron/Gold/Emerald forge. The point of the game is to be done quicker. If you are quick your enemies wont be stacked and you will have a easier time killing them.
Iron & Gold
You shouldn't spend any gold until you get IRON armor.
Don't buy a iron sword, unless if you have spare gold. This gold can be used to make a better deffence or to buy gapples.
Iron shouldn't be waster on silverfish or iron golems (only if you have a lot to spare). You should be buying tools,fireballs and a stone sword.
Fun things to do!
Bedwars was made to be enjoyed, so don't always tryhard and sweat. Try to do some stupid and dumb things (best with friends). Try TNT jumping or building a giant bed deffence. Try to trap your enemies or try to make a house. After all the most important thing is for you to enjoy playing the game.
