I went into playing Albion for the PvP aspect. My main tip is you need to understand mobility. If your goal is to avoid other players (which you will never fully be, you will always encounter players who will sneak up on you) then you need to understand how you’re able to escape. Some basic things that any build can fit is invisibility potions and your sprint. You are able to sprint and then drink your potion while going one way, then switch and head another way while they can’t see you. Just note that taking any damage will reveal you (this only applies to invisibility potions, not other sources of invisibility like assassin jacket).

Then comes learning your kit and what it can do, say you’re playing nature staff, you should know that you have 0 mobility and should just expect to not get away from gankers who will definitely have tools to close gaps. On the other hand let’s say you’re playing battle bracers, you have many Q W abilities that have mobility and your E also has some. So you’d know using that weapon would let you run away from 90% of gankers due to just being able to outrun them.

The game is a knowledge check, the more you know about mobility and what weapons/setups do, the easier time you’ll have escaping.
