Dark Souls 3: Live Invasions | "OP" Edition

[@tonisimola9805]

Silly Nyff. Don't you know this is Reddit Souls 3 in 2017, where ultras and scythes are meta, estoc is shit because it got nerfed a year ago and 27 vig is very serious business. Git Gud.

[@saintriot]

Petty acts of revenge are always the best way to close a video. What were your end thoughts on the exile? For me it's on par with the Ringed Knight Paired Great Swords. Essentially a weapon that wouldn't be great 1v1 but in against multiple opponents it's the weapon you have to keep your eye on.

[@Nyffenschwander]

Tbh, after playing with his weapon for a week before making this video, I went into this with my end thoughts already established in the beginning. And as I was saying there, I 100% agree with your assessment.

[@HumbleHomunculus]

saint_riot You guys should try dark infused Harald. 716 AR vs Exiles 744 but it's weapon art is actually fast enough to hit good reactive rolling players. Also has the longest cgs range so it's wdr1 is better. Wdr1 and weapon art gives it "decent" standing and neutral pressure. Not good, but better than exile Imho. l2,hold r2 for one chop > r1 deals 1k damage on average.

[@conway1505]

My first run the exile was my main. I don't know if this was before the nerf, but 1v1 or not, it kicked everyone's s h i n s

[@samyt681]

Never undestood the disconnect culture, they waste more time closing the game... It´s annoying as fuck

[@iamamish]

Disconnects should register as a victory for the invaders, and the disconnector should lose *2* embers. They should also be greeted by a new screen on booting the game, reading "YOU LOST", just so there is no mistaking what actually happened.

[@Telor21]

"YOU LOST LIKE A BITCH" Sucks for a legitimate disconnect tho

[@thefrenchbastard1646]

just like in IRL some people have a hard time swallowing they lost but at the end of the day it's not that big of a deal it's still your victory

[@turktheturkey]

@@Telor21 **loads up dark souls 3 after dc'ing** **reads update screen** *"GET FUCKED NERD"*

[@viniciusdalposolocinel6797]

Mom, pull the plug!

[@marcossancheznavarro1500]

You got me into tyour video just with the Widower song in the intro

[@Nyffenschwander]

It's amazing how many people like that. Good to know there's a lot of folks with good music taste out there. :)

[@marcossancheznavarro1500]

Btw amazing video, you don't see that many people invading so efficiently

[@iamamish]

I pretty much take this game as it comes, and I can handle a scared noob disconnector. But, when salty gankers disconnect and then come right back and spam the dried fingers, I want to scream. Heads they win, tails you lose.

[@aLousyBum83]

And the legends say that on cold nights, if you listen vary closely, you can still hear the sound of him yanking his ethernet cable from the wall....

[@rottgren9491]

Thank you for this, your game explanations are really good

[@muetzenklon6222]

Grüß dich! Don't know if you're gonna read this but I only recently discovered your videos and enjoy my time watching them! Keep up the good work, I'm expecting much dsr content ;)

[@Nyffenschwander]

Vielen Dank! :)

[@H2O_Chi]

I've always hated it when other invaders attack me for no apparent reason. Just because friendly fire is on doesn't mean you have to help the gank squad.

[@Ralphoifyful]

15:57 when I sorted out most of Midir's attack patrons after 20 tries that shattered me psychologically and gave me autism

[@brmbltbr4]

MOM, PULL THE PLUG!!1!!11!

[@Pharthrax]

26:56 "But by the power of R1 I shall recover!" is a great summary of the entirety of DS3's PvP :p

[@preasidium13]

I usually shoot for at least 40 poise on my curved greatswords in order to tank regular greatswords and one handed ugs

[@SparxyUK]

I don't come across many gankers who disconnect like that. I'll never understand people's fear of dying in this game though, is it a pride thing? You literally just pick your souls up and carry on. In my opinion there's more pride in dying like a warrior in the glory of combat! I laughed at your reactions to getting killed, very similar to me! Top notch invading.

[@Nyffenschwander]

Thx, my dude!

[@del1000005]

It's because people just hate losing. Ganking gives the illusion that they're "good" at the game because they repeatedly win even if that winning is intentionally set up in their favor. When they lose to an invader even on a gank, it shatters the illusion of being good. That's a hard reality for people to handle.

[@afterpasthours7504]

Never turn your back on a fellow invader, I've learned the hard way to keep my back to a wall always if not in combat. Backstab speed is deceiving.

[@mlgwombat7487]

My favorite invasion weapon has to be the lothric greatsword because the damage is insane when you buff it with lightning resin

[@Hikurac]

Oh dang, that exact outfit and weapon. I guess that character named Nyff in the Inner Wall area actually was you (I sent a message over steam). I was thrown off by the hours of in-game and figured it was just a troll. Well shit, missed my chance to fight ya :(. Also nice "duels". It's an invasion and I have no problem whatsoever with hosts who chug during invasions, even during a 1v1. However, I have no doubt that they would have started the good'ol clappity clap had you chugged first, despite planning to themselves, and you having the 30% health reduction.

[@greedsin555]

"It's hard to roll catch with this weapon" U wot M8? Nah but it is rely easy once you get the hang of it

[@tdog7326]

In the end it comes down to playstyle and preference, but in an invasion, curved greatswords are some of my worst enemies

[@pistols1180]

It's 6 am here and I'm pretry sure my parents will come to check on me in like a few seconds and kill me for not sleeping but first also I wanted to ask you this- what's the absolute best crit weapon(and build)rn that can be used at 152?

[@pistols1180]

*waits for reply*

[@Nyffenschwander]

I appreciate the dedication! And just tell them DkS invasion videos are serious and urgent business, I'm sure they will understand...

[@pistols1180]

Nyff hehe. What about the crit weapon tho?

[@Nyffenschwander]

Eh, the Exile does a good enough job, and crits aren't really much of a focus of this build. Mashing R1 and doing a lot of running attacks seems to be the way to go with this weapon.

[@pistols1180]

Nyff Naw dude, I'm asking what woukd be the absolute best crit wep at sl152?

[@LordRankor]

Oscar had to DC because you were using an "OP edition build" ;)

[@kingnecrow575]

Exile greatsword is one of my favorite weapons for the poise, poise break, and chass down. Yet even I know it's underperformance against people who know how to duel. SO LISTEN TO NYFF

[@sunlightsage2982]

You can’t invade someone that many times consecutively without them having a dried finger activated Why look for invaders if you’re gonna disconnect as soon as your friends die? Unless he just wanted to beat the ringed city with all 3 of his friends. _why would you need 4 people for the ringed city_

[@Mrbrainiac]

yes i wouldn't use exile CS in the arena or any other curved sword , however i would use Harald Knight CS , weapon art is op as fuck !

[@namethatiuse2677]

video starts at @:344

[@AtreyusNinja]

19:35 wtf is that backstabbu !!!!?!?!?!?!? hi man :'D i don't miss this game but i enjoyed this live commentary video a lot

[@Nyffenschwander]

Thank you, man, that is really nice to hear! Also, ye, the only games without weird lagstabs by From are the ones who don't have a backstab mechanic. xD

[@Jpgator1214]

great video 👍

[@sadocommando2434]

CE yourself 700 divine blessings and siegbraus.

[@Nyffenschwander]

Eh, I have no problem with using CE, but my rule is: anything I do with it has to be indistinguishable from a legit PvP build. And a legit PvP build doesn't have 699 DBs and Siegbräus on it, does it?

[@sadocommando2434]

Nyff You are limited to 1 db and 10 siegbraus per invasion. Thats 4500+ worth of HP and it effectively doubles your healing capacity. Your survivability will theoretically increase twofold. You are severely handicapping yourself by not making use of these consumables, especially in drawn out fights.

[@augustine5442]

At that point it's like why fucking bother though? People really take this game way too far...

[@maxenfelter]

John Doe You're also severely handicapping yourself by not using CE to turn on infinite health and stamina.

[@rip7352]

I invaded the havelmonster dude last week. He gave me 22k souls when I killed him

[@igneusDS]

18:01 I know this f***er! Funny guy. I'm usually don't kill him(he usually just run, cause i'm always not alone), just waiting for blue ones)) Where do you even met him? He usually sticks to gank city, saw him in 2DLC only once. 22:12 This guy probably waited for summon shit ton of time)) 24:48 He didn't use that r1 into WA combo, just r1,r1,r1...

[@muhieddineshebaro6635]

U play on pc?

[@HomingAsatoMass]

Wait, did I miss something? I always thought you were on PS4 and the "Nyff" guy invading me in the forest was just a random...

[@Nyffenschwander]

I play on both platforms, mostly on PC though.

[@HomingAsatoMass]

Oh, very interesting, I will keep that in mind. Hope you will use an actual good weapon should we meet again

[@Biggest_Superhuman]

Ich mag die Waffe. Nutze zurzeit die Drachentöter-Großaxt! (Drachentöter-Eisenrüstung Cosplay)

[@diss-chargemaker]

man i would have spam invade him for him beeing banned from pvp cuz of consecutives plug pulling

[@paulsgaminglounge7241]

Servus ;) At least I hit u with a lighting arrow in the face .. even if everything else didn't work out in my favour :D Good stuff tho !

[@nemonable]

build?

[@ingoicognito8045]

Zockt der Nyff noch?

[@Nyffenschwander]

Dark Souls leider nicht mehr, ne. Kompletter Burnout nach 6000+ Stunden. Vielleicht bin ich bei Elden Ring wieder dabei.

[@ПетрТрифонов-х8р]

You complaining about disconnecters like "in this game invaders easy to kill, why people disconnect so often?" Exactly coz of that! :) People kill so many invaders and kill them so quickly they get some power dellusion. They think they good PvP players and cant acept a loss. If'd they understand how this game works they wolud be much more chill like "yes i cant kill him 1v1 but im good command player" or something, but they thing they "just good" overall. In PvP in general :) And yes i know this is a 3 years old video, but things same in 2020

[@oskardiegel6550]

guten tag

[@alexandreandrade5365]

Man, that Oscar guy is so disgusting...
