- Punch on the bow is useful for knocking enemies off their perch.
- Build a hideout near mid and snipe the players there.
- Some maps have glowstone, which you can use to make spectral arrows.
- The punch bow is very useful when defending. Knock players off the map when they are trying to break through your defenses.
