- Your Opponent Isn’t a Shishkabob: They’ll be rushing and closing in fast. Do not skewer them.
- Be Mindful of Your Strikes: You’re in a very tight space with a lot of people. Know where your blade is going. Strikes are intentional.
- Choose the Safest Path of Death: When attacking a kill pocket, your dead body clogs up the maneuver. Shout dead and move away in the safest direction even if that means staying in place.

- Setting Up a Kill Pocket: Form a semicircle around the choke point.
- Establish the Point of No Return: The point of no return is the area inside the semicircle where all members of the kill pocket can kill incoming opponents.
- Place Fighters Wisely: Align fighters with long swords and short swords according to the terrain.
- Kill Pocket vs Wall of Swords: A Wall of Swords is most effective in extremely tight spaces like at the end of a bridge or a corridor that you don’t want opponents to get through. A Kill Pocket is effective in more open corridors where you want to limit your opponent’s attacking force but allow them into an easily defended space. Something like a doorway or a trailhead in a forest.
- Breaking a Kill Pocket: Sacrifices must be made. Attack weak points of the kill pocket. Use the momentum of your team to punch a gap in their line and break through.
- Defending a Kill Pocket: Let them come to you. Wreckless cowboys ruin the point of a kill pocket.

- Defend a Kill Pocket: Set up a kill pocket and practice defending it.
- Break a Kill Pocket: Repeatedly attack a kill pocket until you can break it. Emphasize momentum and wise sacrifices.
