    What you REALLY do: First off, you'd pick a successful kit based off of what strategy you're running. If you were trying to win the iron sword at the start, keep going! Those hackers can't beat you to it! If you're not going for the iron sword, /spawn around to find a good area to go to when the games start. One main part of HG is soup. Soup could be your best friend. Soup heals 3.5 hearts. It can still be used for food. Hunters, be warned. Many other hunters will be heading for the swamps. I suggest getting atleast 4 wood and the ability to make a stone sword. Then get to nearby safety bc the bloodbath is about to begin. You don't want to be attacked from behind do you? I also suggest getting atleast 12 mushrooms of each kind. Then, later on after the blood bath, get more wood and shrooms because there will be people mining for iron. You don't want to die to a noob with no soup using an iron sword, do you?
    If Towering: if only members of 2, have one member (endermage if you have them) dig dirt the whole game while the other gets supplies. Once in the tower, have the endermage glitch blocks so you can have more towering blocks. Tower somewhere near spawn so you can get to feast easily.
    If trapping: gg. You probably won. Go underground or above ground and do ur trap. I can't help you with this bc I don't know what trap ur doing. Just make sure it doesn't fail.
    If trapped: Remain calm; I don't know how many times I lost because I got panicked in a trap. Look around at your trap. Even before you get trapped, don't even go to the base of the tower. Don't go near the people underground. Be safe!
    Encountering a tower: do the safe towering maneuver to get ur way up. Keep crouching! If early in game, let them be. An early tower is usually the best tower. If you're an anti fall dmg kit, break their pillar and jump up. That way, you can wreck them usually w/o them knowing.
    Gl and hf!

    The first two words were the key to my success... I thank you, Turmac, for producing this.

    In all seriousness nice guide, I'm quite the noob at HG so this was great!

    No problem @Striker_Sly I was bored in honesty so I decided to make a guide so some more people could have a chance to know certain strategies.

    The if trapped part is basically useless, but otherwise you have the basics :grinning:.

    I disagree with one part. Getting 12 of each and 4 logs. It's way too little soup nowadays. I recommend getting shrooms till 1 minute. Then get 7/8 logs and dig down for stone sword

    Mine's personally the same strategy but I use one tree (5 logs), it just works so much quicker and smoother, and mediocre crafters like myself finish just before the game starts.

    I was showing early game strategies. Most people are heading to the swamp. Later on in the year when more and more players are joining brawl, they'll be knowing of soup and heading there, making there less shrooms for you and more for them. This is mainly a strategy for the future.

    In the future it will be worse. As you said, more people know abt soup and they have more soup, so you're disadvantaging yourself in getting less

    Actually, im not. More people will be getting shrooms in the future, causing less and less to be around. Remember in old mcpvp when you were lucky to get 4 mushrooms? Yeah. That's how it's going to be.

    Usually if you've planned our your route on Soup HG you can find a nice swamp to have to yourself. I usually take the time to collect a stack of each mushroom and about 12 logs so I can craft a full inventory of soup, a stone sword, and still have enough soup materials left over to recraft.

    Then I usually hunt and try and kill a few people to get more mushrooms and possibly collect any mining gear they had like pickaxes/uncooked iron. After this I usually just mine or smelt any extra iron that I've found off of my victims.

    This seems to be the most successful strategy for the first ~10 ~15 minutes of the game.

    You don't understand me. It's worse coz as you said, more people will be getting shrooms, which means other people will have a lot more soup, while you only have 12 soup

    And you don't understand me either. I said you'd be lucky to get 12 shrooms. most people got 4 shrooms and that was enough to win games.

    That was back in the olden days of HG. Nowadays, its impossible to win with 4 soup at the start. Anyway, swamps are filled with shrooms so you should be able to get at least 24 of each

    I actually might use this strategy, it sounds effective.

    But yes at the moment I don't think anybody is going to have problems getting 32-64 of each mushroom, because there are many soup biomes on an average server to cater for a small playerbase.
