I’ve been watching a lot of videos on low to mid level invasions and a lot of people say that you must only focus on vigor and minimum required stats for weapon.I’d like to know at what weapon level does the scaling start to matter and which levels are basically a waste of points to level up damage past the minimum requirements.

Suppose I go for the Far lest column. Do I have to make a submission of a video containing clips of all 5 bounties of the column?

Hey guys, just wanting your thoughts on what level bracket is the best for invading. It can be for any personal reason, but the types of invasions I'd like more of are ones where the host will actively try and fight me, doesnt abuse torrent in combat or to run away, and isnt a world full of players who spam L2 to progress through the game.

Ive found level 200 is decent but on bad nights Ill get almost all rubbish invasions

Looking for advice on stats. Level 80 with classic quality build with a few points into faith purely for incantations and such (Flame, grant me strength, bestial vitality, rock sling) mostly using swords, spears with sheild. Vigor is my highest stat but if you think I should invest more points into other areas, feel free to correct me. I appreciate your time, red men! 🗡🛡🟥

Can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Thanks

Just a quick rundown of my build. I am mainly wielding the M'lady light greatsword (Yes, I had a friend drop it for me, I'm not waiting until the DLC to use my favorite weapon ever) and intending to stay around level 90 +17 Weapon Upgrade to avoid the meta tryhard level 125. I use the lighting strike AOW to buff my weapon and make up for my relatively low stats and weapon upgrade level (The AOW I got naturally, just mentioning that because I know lighting in PVP can be very powerful).

Most of the invaders I run into are fine. I'm not doing bonfire dueling so a lot of the time I'll be engaged in PVE when they enter my world. Some will wait, some will attack instantly or pelt me with projectiles while I'm fighting. There are no rules in invasions as I'm sure you guys know so I'm fine with invaders taking "cheap shots" when they come in while I'm engaged in PVE. If I find myself engaged in a more traditional duel with an invader I won't heal unless they do due to my flask advantage as a host. I win most fights since I'm a decent fighter and not in the meta level, where I'd unquestionably be stomped into the ground by people far better than me. Although sometimes that is still the case even at level 90 where my invader opponent outclasses me by a huge margin. If I win I bow if I'm also not being attacked by PVE adversaries at the time, I do not expect invaders to bow if I'm defeated by them, but if they point down or fecal pot throw at my corpse they get blocked since I don't like rude assholes.

I've made a point to level my vigor high (50) for this run to avoid being 2 shot. Something I've noticed is that A LOT of you guys (invaders) do this as well. If you're going to PVP you need to LEVEL VIGOR. Looking back on my previous playthroughs where I only seriously leveled vigor at the endgame it's no wonder why I so often failed to kill an invader even with help from friends in the past.

I've been messing around in colosseum a lot recently and been thoroughly enjoying it with my rl200 99 faith Fire Knight Greatsword build. However I've struggled a lot with one particular match up: the colossal sword mirror match.

Where my normal strategy is baiting trades, that's out the window here. I try to use jumping to coax a roll since colossals have bad anti-air but that has mixed success depending on the skill level of the opponent. Any advice? Do I just need to get gud at wiggling? Specifically it feels like the fire knights greatsword has shorter range than other common colossals. Any advice is appreciated. This hasn't been much of an issue during invasions since the average PvE'r doesn't understand pvp tech
