I believe that defense is the best offense in any type of situation where you are allowed to build, it can be applied to all of them. Yes, offense can also be a beneficial thing as it gives you a reward for killing an opponent, but it's kind of risky because you are out there in the open, probably in a location where archers can get you or in a really bad position. Here, I'll share to you my method on how I defend myself from other players: 1. The Wall The most common type of structure you would build in a during or preparing an attack. I know, people can just go under, through, or over the wall, but at least you have more time preparing yourself to counter the enemy. If you want to avoid them destroying your wall easily, create a thicker and higher wall, it will struggle your opponent to either give up and search another way or reach the end of the wall with your ready attack. A good thickness of 3 blocks and a height of 7 blocks can do, the length is all up to you! 2. The Hole I have to admit, it's kind of hard making this defense as for 2 reasons: You might fall into that hole and you'll be trapped in that hole. So, if you're that type of player who can find a way to respawn, this you can use. Build it in a place where your enemy won't see or expect it. It does not necessarily have to be an empty hole, it can also be a small hole with lava in it. This worked on my scenarios where I was hiding from a really good player in Sky Wars (That player killed half of the players in-game) (No, he did not hack), so I decided that if he finds me, he has to fall down to a hole, and it worked! 3. The Block This is the most efficient defense of all (In my opinion) because you can slow down players from chasing you, build a 2 block wall to hide yourself from archers and sword men, etc. This structure can be used if you don't have enough time for the incoming attack or if you are just really lazy at building defenses. I hope this benefits you with your future tournaments in this server, if not, maybe it's your planned strategy when using these structures or your fighting skills, no offense.
