Mobs in Minecraft fight in a variety of ways, which means beating them takes strategy. Whether it's keeping your distance from a creeper, or staying out of line of sight with a skeleton, there's some thought behind surviving the creatures of the night.
This will be expanded heavily in Minecraft Dungeons, where players will fight more mobs than ever.
Let's go over how to beat mobs in Minecraft Dungeons.

That's quite a list of different mobs to strategize against, which means beating mobs will present a big challenge.

Too many mages will mean that enemies like vindicators and redstone golems will be a huge challenge. This is because of the powerful melee damage they can deal and endurance they have.
And too many rangers will mean that enemies like spiders and chicken jockeys will be a huge challenge. This is because of the evasive movement and gap-closing potential they possess.

Along with diversifying classes, parties should also diversify weaponry to have the right answers to so many different problems. A slow two-handed melee weapon will be great for dealing massive damage to massive enemies, but will be unwieldy in packs of smaller enemies where faster weapons would excel.
Finding the right balance for you and your party will be a lot of the challenge in Minecraft Dungeons. It will also be key to beating mobs of all kinds.
