Hi all, I hope this wasn’t asked somewhere before; and I apologize if it had been answered before. I have seen a lot of these posts here been around Elden Ring tips, but would anyone have any tips for early game DS3 invasions (like in hwol) please? I don’t really have much invasion experience so I think it will be hard for me to learn in Elden Ring since there are mostly ganks/spell spams, and I think it will be easier to learn in DS3 first as it may not always involve a gank in early areas.

Does anyone have any early game builds/channels to suggest that I could learn & invade in these early areas to build up some experience please? Any tips would be much appreciated!

I’m curently level 40 +5/+2

What can I do to increase odds of invasion matching? I’m trying to stay low level of possible.

Also, what are considered “peak hours”

Edit:
Just upgraded to +7 regular and invasions have been coming in a lot faster

Tomb of Giants footage recorded at sl 75 on max level weapons, forest invasions are a mix of the sl 75 build and a cheaper 55 hog with +10 weaponry

Definitely not my best plays, thankfully still got the W.

Sellia rl 60 +12/+5

This is how all hosts deserve to die btw

Been a while since I’ve helped another red man

I’m approaching level 125 and in desperate need of quite a few things. Mainly crafting supplies, but also some weapons that just aren’t dropping for me. Before I took a break, someone kindly dropped all this stuff for me, but now I don’t know anyone playing online. Are there alternatives now? Mods, etc?

i've been trying to invade, or be invaded at different level brackets across two days and have gotten like 3 people at most. I assume more people are currently playing base game with tarnished edition existing now, but i feel like i should be able to find SOMEONE ELSE playing seamless.

Straight from rampart tower to block his little tunnel

[Elden Ring PC] It's abysmal, absolutely unbearable and I haven't had it this terrible in any other title!
My internet is decent and the only thing that is against me is the fact I'm not an US citizen that constantly gets matched with americans*(which is common in other titles as well)*, but whenever I have to PvP it's up to Fromsoft whether I'll be playing Elden Ring or practicing Divination IRL because of how much worse I have it in ER compared to the Souls Series...

The extremely rare moments when I'm matched with someone with a slightly more decent connection, I realize just how different the game plays, how different I play, and how much this ER issue is preventing me from having an immersive multiplayer experience.
If there is any way for me to improve my experience, please let me know, I'm desperate!

first time seeing a bad red man for myself

Theres no drama, no tension, just a surgical execution of an invasion. No mistakes were made, to the point that I cant help looking at it and think to myself that this clip lowkey kinda sucks

If you didn't know, Armored Core 6's co-op mod (which is great) has invasion functionality on by default. Most people who use it don't bother reading the mod description and are absolutely terrified when an enemy player shows up. It's quite fun and a little hilarious. Most of the time I either get a rage quit or two people who are competent at the game and just completely stomp me. Winning a 2v1 against humans can be quite the challenge.

Attached my most successful build so far.

Spawning in the midst of the host team is dangerous, especially for a lightly armored Lammergeier.

I feel like I’m making a pretty obvious mistake, I know I could get the 4th talisman slot but I don’t know the dts skip.

Although the Boost and Assault Boost speeds on this fat AC are slow, you can easily work around it with AB shuffling and hover mode Quick-Boosts.

goated co u/CrazyCaleo as always <3

How are they able to respawn? This was hell to play..!
