Minecraft, 1.16.1 Piglin Brutes are added.
Difficult:
without armor 9.5 hearts damage
With full netherite armor: after 3 hits death!
what do you mean how best to fight them. I believe with a netherite sword, "armor, enchanted golden apples and healing potions
I would kill him at a distance if possible
Or build 2 blocks so that he can't hit you and then kill with the sword
That's a good idea. But if the jumping can knock you down
Would also go at a distance, generally use a bow in the nether, so you can keep most mobs away from you.
This is a very good idea.
But if you attack him, other Piglins become agro
Right. I was in such a bastion yesterday, but it was basically strange that I could go to boxes and nobody was freaking out (games bedrock, survival, normal difficulty). And I didn't see the new mob there. So far the whole pack has never attacked me. But with magma cubes in the basalt area or as they say I have always shot myself well. It's best to build somewhere where they can't get to and you can't fall down, then it shouldn't be an issue.
To be on the safe side, only switch off at a distance with the bow,
If it is not possible, always have a shield / totem with you
If you're good at it, you could time and block the brute's blows, but be careful, axes do a lot of damage to shields after trying to block with the sword
You probably haven't seen any because the update isn't there yet
That makes sense.
You can build 4 blocks instead of 2 so the piglins don't hit you.
If you build 3 blocks up, I think they can still hit you.
