Keep it in third person people.

Many tactics exist for eliminating or subduing a raider, some of which work off bad balance mechanics, and others take advantage of the simple phycological workings of the raider.

One such method is to head to central mainland and create mud wells and huts, along with the occasional private door and granary. After placing the buildings, the anti-raider will fireproof all of them, making sure to leave no flammable part. When the raider finds this village, their instinctive action will be to try and attack it, at which point the anti raider hides inside a hut with a private door, and taunts the raider. Due to the lack of raiders with explosives, this trick works extremely well, and will prevent other villages from being attacked, with plenty of laughs for all.

If one has less time to spend, they might opt for a more straightforward approach, involving the gathering of moss, fabric, and a handful of steel to create a woven vest and three crossbows. This combat strategy, dubbed Triple Crossbow by those who use it, involves shooting three consecutive bolts at the raider's head before they realise what is happening, dealing enough damage to kill a player in mithril armour. It is costly and easily countered if you know what is happening, although its very effective for quick elimination of a single target.
