How to be overpowered in PvP when your opponent is near the ground

[Green_Metaknight]

In PvP, the whole point is to kill other players. And in Journey Mode, there is increased placement range. So if you're fighting someone who tends to stay close to the ground, I have a tip:
Land Mines can be placed every tick. So if someone is on the ground, you can hold down the place button on a block next to them to deal 250 damage every tick.*
*This won't actually hit every tick because iframes exist.
Also, this will be more effective the more placement range you have.

EDIT: I just remembered that you don't even need PvP on to do this. But watch out, landmines are expensive.

Venom Staff inflicts venom for over a minute in expert, resulting in >900 total damage from a single shot that damage reduction or defense can't help with
Probably the most underrated pvp weapon.

venom as a debuff on its own is just insanely strong, makes sense lol

(i'm not into pvp one bit, so i can't say much, but since i've already brought venom up, i'm curious if i was right in thinking that the venom flask is the best flask when it comes to damage against enemies, and i'm not even talking about DPS, just sheer damage output in any way you wanna measure it (since this part is offtopic to the main post, y'all are free to discuss this on my profile too))
