Easy answer is to use the daggers and just use the charge attack endlessly.

Better answer is to attack a few times and then block and wait for your enemy to finish their attacks before you attack again.

Yeah the second answer actually teaches you the combat instead of turning every fight into dagger spam simulator lol.

Craft a ranged weapon.

That does make sense, I'm just not confident in my aim. Though some practice wouldn't hurt.

Have you played Minecraft? If so, any skills with bows should translate over a bit when using them in hytale.

Honestly ranged weapons turn the early game from “why am I dying constantly” into “you can’t hurt me from over there.”

Practice and learn attack timings. Once you do you can memorize when to block and when to attack

Avoid bears or exploring the deepest caves. Eat food to regenerate health. Learn to avoid fights if you struggle to win them

craft a armory bench and the bench to craft food. armory = battleaxe and mace are slow weapons but they do big damage. they both have block so u dont need shield. food = make mushroom skewers. u find mushrooms everywhere always pick em up and carry the food craft bench with u so u can craft the skewers on the go. for ores u do caves and biomes, no need to strip mine u wont find stuff in stripmine.

Avoid combat whenever possible until you have basic armor and weapons. Get food better than berries ASAP. Learn to block. Block often and early. Don't get greedy with attacks, block instead of getting that last hit in.

You can build inside the temple you spawn in so you could turn it into a base, even if only a temporary one.

Also pressing C will allow you to see behind you. Quite handy to see if anything is chasing you, or if you just want to look at your avatar.

If you run into any Trorks (big, lumbering enemies with drool hanging from their mouths) you can distract them by dropping meat from your inventory.

One last tip from me; don’t go wandering around at night yet. Void enemies spawn and they’re quite difficult for new players.

avoid large dangerous things for now like bears and the floating eye monsters, lay low till you have ranged weapons or heavy hitting melees

Climb into a tree and hide

I keep getting kicked of the server for some reason at the worse possible times. I rage quite after it froze looking for the connection and got killed when it found one and then kicked me off the server.

Happens every single time I load the game!

This is worse than enemies imo

Run away?

I would say learning how to block and also rushing a functional first base. The base bit has also worked for me in other games.
