Hello everyone, welcome to another PvP tutorial/guide.

In this post, I will discuss the difference between left- & right hand PvP and their certain benefits when using them.

1. First of all, what is left- & right hand PvP and how to change it?
It is very basic and simple, usually your main hand is right handed.
But there is an option to change that, you can easily switch between left & right handed.
It's pretty straight forward, but usually forgotten by many.
How to change it?
You simply go to Skin Customization -> Main Hand:

2. Should I go with the Left- or Right hand option and why?
Great question! I'll answer this briefly.
Depending on your movement circle, you'll be able to select the perfect option.
*Your movement circle, means which direction are you circling when PvP'ing.
Let me break this down for you:
Alright, so you're circling left? Perfect.
If you're circling left, this means you should be using the left hand option.
Now you might be thinking..but why?
Good question! It's very simple.
If you're left circling around your opponent using the left as your main hand, you're creating an enemy- & safe space.
The enemy will be tossed around while you're making perfect circles causing the opponent to stay on the right side.
Meanwhile, the whole left side is open as a safe space to run whenever needed.
I hear you thinking..but if I use my right hand as main and circle left, this also creates an enemy- & safe space?
Yes and no, the huge difference is:
If you're circling left with your right hand, it will not create perfect circles. You will have to correct & reposition yourself a couple of times.
Because of this, your field changes a bit. There won't be a perfect left or right side anymore.

Because of this, your field changes a bit. There won't be a perfect left or right side anymore.
Don't worry! If you're not circling I would recommend staying on default.
The main reason for this is, it has no benefits at all.

3. What are the Pros & Cons of this tactic?
Good news! There are more Pros compared to Cons.
Let me list them down for you:
1. Easier to hit combos
2. You're creating a safe space to run
3. Getting more confident while playing
4. Reset whenever you need due to the safe space
5. More perfect circles means more chance of winning
6. You're able to win from players who have better gear
1. It feels weird at the beginning
2. Your hand might be on the wrong side
3. Takes a while to get used to it
4. Speedbuilding might be difficult

I remember trying this for the first time, and I can confirm: it feels REALLY weird at the beginning, but it's definitely worth getting used to! Great explanation altogether! 🙂

I have been using left hand for ages now & I'm right handed haha, it pretty much depends on how your movement is. You're getting used to it after awhile.

Left handed looked more "sweaty" back in the days, that's probably why people are saying it makes you better. But there is absolute no proof that it's better whatsoever it can only help you in some ways ;-)
