There are plenty of posts on the combat system around. Please read them. (One is even stickied.) At a minimum you'll need Ranging to track them and Rage to engage them in combat. You'd ideally also want Murder so that you can just kill them, Trespassing and Vandalism so that you can get to them if they're behind a wall.

Warning: if you go through with this and do murder them, they can attempt to track you down and kill you. If there's a group or entire village supporting this, you will be killed in retaliation. They could be trying to run off any competition for resources in the area or just out for thrill kills. You'd just be giving them an easy one.

Honestly, if you have to ask this, you're likely not going to be anywhere near ready to take them out, let alone deal much damage to them if you can summon them. However, if you can track them down, there are always rangers about that love to take out griefers for a modest fee.

Most raiders and griefers are Terrible at combat. Just need to say that now. Standing up to them is fine but know that numbers matter A lot. Three people are a lot stronger than one person, as if that needed to be pointed out.

Have Every Single Combat Skill. All of them. Have every single combat move unlocked as well as Rage, Theft, and Murder. Up your Unarmed combat to as high as you can, as well as ~25 Melee combat (should be enough for now). No one strategy is immaculate in combat and a lot of it is knowing the moves and when to use them. Know your maneuvers, moves, and special moves; plan to get the initiative and advantage you need to use your moves to kill opponents in one or two volleys of attacks. Efficiency of initiative is vital but always keep two initiative more than you think you'll need in the event that your opponent throws sand.

Practice with sparring constantly. Spar so you know your abilities! There are times when you want to Seize the day, times when to Dash!, times to Charge!, times to Death or Glory, and times to Sting like a bee. Most battles are over with ~6-12 initiative. I've won fights with 2 initiative before with less UA than my opponent just by shocking him.

Remember that your opponent is going to freak out when they take damage. Everyone does. The second their defense bar is done and you're pushing them, they are freaking out and scrambling to fix it to no avail.

You are doing it right if you are switching maneuvers and moves Constantly. Keep your defense up -- it's so much more important than your attack but you need that too to keep your defense up. No move is useless. Opportunity knocks and Invocation of Skuld are Great to mess your opponent up. Sidestep is good too. Remember that Combat Advantage effects combat weight so it can utterly fuck your opponents strategy up if you have two or three advantage on them.

Read Dataslycer's Combat Guide! That guy was amazing at combat. Trust his experience.
