Your invasions in Elden Ring give me hope to keep playing Elden Ring PVP. With so many toxic Rivers of Blood spam invasions and needing to use unoriginal builds or Moonveil to outspace beating me down, your pure skill and overall chill factor always gives me hope to keep on going. Your content helps me get in and play rather than just sit back and watch so thanks for that!

[@TheMeanArena]

I don't use any KZbin meta builds whatsoever. I use an Antspur Rapier +25 and that's it. Nothing else. I'm pretty good at dodging most attacks and with my stats, I poke you twice and now you're dying off from Poison + Rot. In this case, the gung ho invader starts running away only to have to stop and heal or die then I poke you twice again. Rinse and repeat. It has never failed me yet and I've been PVP'ing since Demon's Souls original. Don't care for all the fancy shmancy FP consuming arts. Not needed!

[@izmizzle]

I use dual heavy thrusting swords, it's the bloody helice paired with an offhand blood godskin stitcher. I really like the running light and heavy attack, and the power stance hits are pretty fun and do ~100 and 130 bleed build up. You don't need to use the weapon art very much, but when you do, I prefer to unlock and do a spin sideways or past them and relock for the R2. I don't whip it out very often but when I do it does a ton of damage and usually is enough to finish somebody off when they're shook

[@raymondhill7837]

rivers of blood is honestly easy to punish, just understand the spacing and poke with pike or banished knight's halberd.

The addition of crouch attacks that are unique for weapon styles, along with running back step R1s has made Elden Ring, despite all its flaws in PVP, the most versatile and unique of any of the Fromsoft games imo.

[@redllapple]

Hey @ChaseTheBro just wanted to ask for you advice, what slvl do you prefer invading that's very active? having maxed out weapons +24-25/+9-10?

[@lukemarks3281]

I think people max out their weapons at levels 100+, most of the final upgrade stones are after crumbling farum azula.

[@lukemarks3281]

So if you're 90, you're going to be invading up to like 115, and down to 81, if you upgrade to max you won't get many invasions lower than you because lvl 80s are probably not having a maxed weapon. They might be next to max though so you'll still get some. Chase sometimes keeps his lvl 90 build upgrades at +17/+7 to avoid this. If you're already at max upgrades you should just keep leveling unfortunately. They made it tough on invaders with their level limits.

[@nheimi99]

What weapon level?

[@ethandonnelly1973]

I think footpedals for dodge would probably not be great, it takes more effort and movement to actually hit a pedal which woulf probably delay your dodging and if you're just holding your foot above a pedal waiting to tap it, I mean Christ driving a car for under an hour can be tiring I wouldn't wanna think about trying to use pedals for several hours of intensive gameplay.

Wouldn't a fire infusion deal more damage than a heavy infusion if you got a crit with the misticorde?

[@HektischerHecht]

Fire on a strength build does more damage in theory, but it's split between physical and fire damage. So the damage you deal goes through two types of resistances. By heavy infusing your weapons they deal pure physical and only go through one resistance type. Plus fire damage is lower while it rains. Heavy infusing thus usually results in more damage output (at least for me) and if you want elemental damage you can always apply a grease.
