To clarify all your doubts about this thread, THIS IS LEGIT AND IT WORKS.
Hotbar:
Do whatever you need to do, make sure your water and lava bucket is accessible thought. My hotbar setup is: Sword, Lava, Rod, Bow, water, water,steak,gapple, and golden head.
BEST FOV: 88 (atleast for me)
Sword: I usually block hit first, then I sword to get the combo. I also don't like to crit because my opponent can easily get a combo while I'm jumping.
Rod:
When your within a 2-3 block radius of your opponent you should get your rod out and use it, then click. Also, you shouldn't rod spam; it can break your rod easily.
Strafe:
Use your A and D keys to circle around your opponent to get combos. One amazing way is, first, hold W and A for 3 seconds, then switch to W and A for 3 seconds.
Lava:
Use when within a 4-5 block radius.
Evading your opponent: When you are lower than 5 hearts, you should water bucket your opponent to slow them down. If you don't have water, you can use your lava. You can also rod spam too ;)
Chasing your opponent: Just keep running and if they are about to water bucket, place your blocks over the water and parkour over the water. Be careful not to get trapped.
Gapples: Regular gapple when you are at 6-7 hearts, 5 or below is golden head.
Water: Use to evade as mentioned above or to piss off your opponent ;3
Bow: I like to bow within a 20 block radius, first, I usually build a wall to make sure I don't get hit. Then, I peek and shoot. Sometimes I just go ahead and bow without any cover (not recommended)
The First Rush: To prevent getting pelted with arrows, you should make a 1x2 structure while running to block arrows. Next, just rod once and click; you should also add some strafing. During the middle I like to lava bucket.
WHAT IF I HAVE NO GAPPLES?: Hide behind a wall and try to bow your opponent; never sword rush.
Using your terrain: If you have a hill, climb up and try to knock your opponent off by rodding and bowing. Another trick (advanced) is to jump off a hill and mlg water bucket, if you opponent tries to jump to, you can rod them away from your water to make them take fall damage.
Clicking: Jitter click only if you can aim. If you can't jitter while aiming (like me), you should just regular click.

Instead, I recommend checking their health w/ a arrow and if they are 2 or less hearts than you, use a gapple since they'll only regen to your health. They'll have one less head than you.

I personally rod spam a lot, and never have I gotten to or under orange. I recommend to keep rodding until you get the last rod and get the hit. If they get the last rod on you, they'll 80% of the time get a combo on you.

No blocks in your hotbar? If I didn't have any blocks, I wouldn't make it past 1700. If you're trying to get away, you should place blocks underneath you so that you can actually get away quickly. If you're being excessively bowed and don't want to waste healing, a wall is a good alternative to bowing back. And with your saying rodspamming can break your rod, just use the infinite rod tactic. It's going to happen, and you should have any advantage that the opponent has.

This guide can be useful for new players.

However, at the end of the day, everyone has their own play styles and that's how they reach their peak.

Also, blocks are very important and without them I wouldn't be as high as 1850, like Verillium said.
