@Jadzia.
1. If you being chased to your safe zone, call your bodies for help, instead of standing there and tease them
Because you still have 30 mins of safety.

2. If 20 evil players run into your homestead, try to kill at least half of them, because you are still invincible for 3 minutes.
Protect your homestead by having fenses, walls etc,..

There is always ways around a problem, only if u are the solution
