[Beta] Hardcore Games Kit List

Flavorous · Jan 18, 2016

Hey, Guys!

The following is a list of all the kits that are currently purchasable here.
Please note that a few of them may have buggy formatting, or even two spoilers.

Wood weapons do more damage to you while non-wood items do less

The Achilles kit reduces all incoming damage from non-wood swords. Wood swords, however, do extra damage to players using the Achilles kit.

Strategies

At the start of the game, watch out for people using wood swords. They will do almost as much damage as a diamond sword to players using Achilles.

Later in the game, it's pretty unlikely that people will still be using wood swords. Use this to your advantage!

Don't hesitate to attack someone with better gear than you. Fighting a confident diamond sworder at the feast is usually pretty intimidating, with Achilles you can be sure that you'll have the advantage.

Special Abilities

Increased incoming damage from wood swords

Decreased incoming damage from non-wood swords

Starting Equipment

None

Turn blocks you can walk through into solid blocks to yourself and others

The Acrobat kit gives you 2 disks, if you hold the first disk in your hand, all transparent blocks (blocks you can walk through) within 20 blocks will become solid wood blocks to you, allowing you to walk over them. The second disk will apply the same effect when held, except for all other players around you within 20 blocks.

Strategies

Make a bridge with signs, and lure people towards you while holding the second disk, when they are on the signs, switch to another item to make them fall to their death!

Counter: Always be wary of suspicious situations.

Take your second disk in your hand in a jungle to create a sort of maze for following enemies.

Special Abilities

None

Starting Equipment

A music disk that makes all transparent blocks within 20 blocks solid wood blocks for you.

A music disk that makes all transparent blocks within 20 blocks solid wood blocks for others.

Gain armor pieces as you travel

Travelling 250 blocks in x or z (y is not included) will add half an armor piece to your slot - the more armour you gather, the longer you have to travel to keep gaining more. Keep travelling and moving around to gain more armor. You cannot put armor on, nor can you remove it. You will have permanent slowness I until you have full armor, which gives you speed I instead. You cannot gain armor when a player's within 10 blocks of you.

Strategies

Move around a lot! That's the core of your kit, the more you move and travel, the higher your armor will be. Be sure to stock up on plenty of food though!

Try and get full armor as quick as you can, as you will remove the slowness effect and have speed instead.

Avoid teaming with players directly, as anyone within 10 blocks of you will stop you gaining armor.

Special Abilities

Gain armour pieces as you travel in the X and Y directions

Starting Equipment

None

Take no knockback and deal no knockback

The Anchor kit is really simple, when you have the kit, you will receive no knockback, and when you attack a mob or player, they will also not receive knockback. However, this kit also has a downside, you can't wear boots while you are an Anchor and Anchor will make an iron walking sound, also you won't block projectiles.

(Note: This sound is purely for security reasons against users of anti-knockback hacks)

Strategies

Keep on hitting a player, they won't receive knockback, this way they can't walk away from your fight

Counter: Know if you can take out an anchor by their iron walking sound

Go into towers and kill the people in it, you won't get knocked off!

Counter: Be sure you can fight players that get in your tower without knocking them off, or use projectiles, since those deal knockback

Special Abilities

You won't take knockback, and won't deal knockback. Knockback from projectiles still applies though.

Starting Equipment

None

Choose a target with a compass - click your redstone to activate your assassination ability!

Every time you right click your compass on the floor, you choose a new target. Keep right clicking to choose who you want to target and your compass will automatically refresh without you needing to update it. So if you want to target WiKi_KiKi, you'd keep updating your compass until it points at him, and then you just follow your compass. You can also use the /target (player) command to lock onto another player manually.

Additionally, activate your redstone for a short burst of insane strength - but be careful, you'll be extremely vulnerable as well!

Strategies

If you're playing in a team with someone who is live streaming, you could make your compass point at the streamer so you can follow him and easily see where the team is meeting up at.

If you have an arch-nemesis in the game, or someone you want to kill, you can make your compass point towards him and get bragging rights against him.

The compass automatically updates, so you don't need to update it unless you want to change targets. This makes it easier to find your enemy!

Activate your redstone and deal massive damage for a quick couple of seconds!

Counter: You'll be extremely vulnerable during this time, so you'll have to act fast!

Special Abilities

When you update the compass, you'll pick a target. Your compass automatically shows his latest position, so there's no need to update your compass.

Keep updating the compass to go through all the alive players in the game, allowing you to pick and choose who you want to track!

Use /target to lock onto players.

Right click your redstone to get Strength 2 and Speed 1 for 2.5 seconds.

Starting Equipment

Redstone

Pick a kit later in the game as backup plan!

The backup kit is a plain simple kit, it gives you a Kit Selector that allows you to pick a kit at ANY TIME, however only once. So when you pick this kit you'll be able to change to another kit any time in the tournament, consuming the ability.

NOTE: Only works with kits you own yourself.

Strategies

If you ever have "I wish I was this kit right now", you can use your kit selector, and change to that kit!

In the late game when there's only one tower left, change to an anti tower kit!

Special Abilities

Using the kit selector opens up the kit gui, and you can pick a new kit. Using the legacy command /kit works as well.

Starting Equipment

a Kit Selector

Start the game with a sword that levels up every time you kill someone.

The Barbarian kit is an excellent way to get the upper hand at the start of the game as well as later in the game. You start with the magic sword 'Tyrfing', which levels up as you kill players and get experience. Asthe sword becomes more powerful it will eventually turn from a wooden sword to a diamond sword - even adding enchantments!

(Note: Due to a limitation of minecraft, the sword sometimes appears to break, but it is in fact not gone, just keep hitting and you'll do the same damage you did with the sword.)

Strategies

Excellent for getting a series of kills at the start of the game.

Target vulnerable victims without a weapon to level up your sword quickly to make it stronger!

Special Abilities

Tyrfing increases in durability the more exp you get, eventually growing out to a better sword.

Starting Equipment

Tyrfing, the level up sword.

Start the game with 3 wolf eggs, 4 bones and a 100% mob capture rate.

The Beastmaster kit allows you to have a friendly pal by your side. Placing the egg will automatically tame it. The wolves can be very useful when in 1 vs 1 combat, and often gives you that winning edge over your enemy in fights! You also have a 100% chance to tame any wolf, so no egg shall be wasted!

Strategies

Don't tame the wolves during the 2 minutes of invincibility! You'll find other players killing your wolves.

Hit someone once, and your wolves will attack that player. Allowing you to refill soups or run away.

Counter: Attack the player, instead of the dogs. Once the player is killed, all dogs stop moving.

Your dogs will help you guard the feast, allowing you to take all the chest contents while your dogs try to kill off any enemies.

Special Abilities

100% tame rate

Starting Equipment

3 wolf eggs

Killing animals and players gives you strength!

The Berserker kit is not for the weak! Killing a mob gives you 5 seconds of Strength I and killingl a player gives you 10 seconds. This kit is great for taking out teams: after killing a player, use the strength bonus against his teammates!

Strategies

If you see a mob while fighting, run over and kill it, so you can then take out your enemy with the Strength bonus!

If you see a Berserker attack a mob, run!

When fighting a team, concentrate on killing one player first so you can get Strength and kill the others quicker.

Excellent at the feast, the strength bonus can prove itself very beneficial when in key-situations or fights.

Special Abilities

Killing a mob gives you Strength I for 5 seconds

Killing a player gives you Strength I for 10 seconds

Starting Equipment

None

Use your Nether Star to Blink away from dangerous situations

Blink gives you the ability to blink (teleport) 5 blocks in any direction. The blink ability works through blocks and even in mid-air.

Strategies

Go on a rampage early game, killing people with your fists. People will be surprised and often struck in awe!

You have a useful perk when fighting 1 v 1's, since incoming damage to you is reduced by half a heart!

Counter: Try and land combo's or get some critical hits on the Boxer to make up for the damage-reduction the Boxer has!

The damage reduction at the feast really can mean the difference between killing that last person and stealing all the chests, or dying!

Make sure that you are not holding an item when attacking, if you hold an item - you won't do wood-sword damage!

You won't see the change yourself, but as soon as you hold the egg, you will look like that mob! You will know when you are disguised as it will say in the chat, for example, â€˜You now look like a SHEEP'. When you're attacked, you lose your disguise for a few seconds, but after that you can blend into the crowd again! Also, while you are disguised, you can only be tracked up to 100 blocks!

Strategies

When you kill someone, you will take their kit.

The Copycat kit allows you to switch between different kits throughout the game. Every time you kill a player, you will switch to the kit that the player was using.

The only downside is that when you kill someone you have no choice but to switch to their kit, even if you don't want it. Choose your targets wisely.

Strategies

When fighting teams, try to kill the enemy with the most powerful kit first. Your kit will switch immediately if you kill them, and you should be able to kill the rest of the team.

Right click with your wooden axe on a block to call down lightning! This excellent kit is great for aggressive players, and is brilliant for countering towers, and also gives you a nice boost in PVP! You can craft another wooden axe in case you die, or if you lose it.

If your strike lands on a block over y 80, a netherrack will spawn, if you strike the same position with the netherrack again, it will explode.

Strategies

Use your wooden axe to get some wood quicker.

Right click someones tower. The lightning will strike the highest Y block from your strike-point, and the lightning will knock them off their tower letting you kill them!

Counter: Stomp them before they can get near you, or build a roof so their lightning goes above you.

Strike down lightning in a cave, netherrack will burn giving you light - a good method to mine as you'll be able to see!

When attacking, put your lightning strike in-front or behind a victim. The area of effect from the strike will knock them back, or in some cases, set them on fire!

Special Abilities

Strike down lightning with your axe, if the block it hits is above 80 blocks, it will create fire and deal knockback, otherwise it will create a slightly smaller knockback

If you strike on the same place as netherrack is, the netherrack will explode with 50% the power of TNT.

Starting Equipment

Wooden axe

Right click your watch to freeze time around you, trapping your enemies!

The Timelord kit will give you a watch. Use the watch to cast a spell that freezes time in the surrounding area. All nearby players other than you will be frozen as well, but will be able to attack. However, while time is frozen you cannot break or place blocks. Hitting any of the frozen players will unfreeze them. It has a 30 second cooldown.

Strategies

Want to take out a team that is too large for you? Freeze the time around them and take each member on alone, greatly increasing your chances of beating them.

Counter: Watch out with a Timelord's spell. If you get stuck in it you are dependent on your teammates' protection.

The spell will freeze animals as well. So if you want to take out a group of mobs, freeze them and kill them!

Special Abilities

Right clicking your pocket watch will freeze the area of 6 blocks around you, freezing other players until you attack them. The spell lasts for 10 seconds and has an additional 30 seconds of cooldown.

Starting Equipment

Turtle is the ultimate-defense kit! If you crouch and block you will only take half a heart of damage, however you cannot attack if you're crouched. (Note: This does not work against some other kit abilities, like Madman's madness and Demoman traps)

Strategies

When in a 1 vs 1, you can crouch to take the damage, uncrouch attack, and repeat to actively attack your enemy.

Counter: Keep attacking, don't give up!

When playing with a team, you can take all the damage and get the person to focus on you, while your team-mate can finish the enemy off.

Counter: If a Turtle is crouching, focus on the other person.

At the feast, you can utilize the Turtle's ability to the max - people will come and attack you since they think you're vulnerable, and you can just 'take it' and attack back.

Excellent team kit. Works well with pretty much every attacking or aggressive kit.

Noice kits bruh xD

sparky_5 · Jan 18, 2016

Which do you think is the best?

PhantomYoshi · Jan 25, 2016

I think the information should be more easily available in the shop section of the site. For example in the mcpvp shop there were brief explanations to the right of the kit name and an image to the right. Something like this could help shave down time when someones is looking for their perfect kit.

blitz_dragon · Jan 26, 2016

Also good list
