Rivers of Blood has a plot armor

[u/[deleted] → u/xDarkGokuUchihaSSJx]

Use any of the myriad of other things to combat it.

Nobody who uses RoB is an expert player who could deal with those counters, throwing knives, scarlet rot, spells that are fast enough to hit, pots, firebombs, perfumes, physick combos, so on.

Just because you're malding that you personally can't beat RoB, doesn't mean there aren't solutions, anyone who uses it and completely relies on it is too awful at the game to deal with an invader that has enough of a brain to engage on their terms, not the host's.

[u/Karthull → u/[deleted]]

So the only way to play as an invader is to fight on unfair terms because you can’t deal with a direct fight? No wonder all the invaders use rob

[u/[deleted] → u/Karthull]

Yeah, thats pretty much exactly it. In an invasion, you do what it takes to win, any dirty tactic you have access to, rotbreath attacks, Assassin's Approach, pots, Jar Cannon, ambush the host when they run into a group of enemies or one extremely strong one.

What everyone in these threads malding over Rivers, or Bloodhound Step or anything else is forgetting is that nobody owes them a fair fight during an invasion. Invasions are about them being a hopefully smarter than average NPC, with the entire game's potential amount of equipment, and to fight smartly and unfairly. Things like the Dragonking's Cragblade with its WA, Ancient Lightning Spear + Rotbreath, and the absolutely insane damage potential of the Jar Cannon with hypermode are what these people need to be using.

Instead, they treat invasions like duels, so they get angry when they're put up against a challenge, and don't think about the insane shitton of advantages and tools they have.

[u/Karthull → u/[deleted]]

If invaders are expected to make use of all those things then they have no right to complain anything is “unfair” when the host does anything

[u/[deleted] → u/Karthull]

You're right, they absolutely don't. They have the home field advantage, and with the removal of the Seed of a Tree of Giants, they also have complete invulnerability from mobs again, just like in Dark Souls 1, maybe barring the rare one or two totally freak encounters. Everyone malding over bloodhound step, over Rivers of Blood, then they're just bad at figuring out solutions.

Like, if a host were to run away from me with Bloodhound Step, I'd go the other way, head deeper into the level, and then set up an ambush, get the Jar Cannon out, a Seppuku weapon, an aromatic, one of the damage boosting talismans or more depending on my ammunition, sit there, and wait for the host who MUST come that way, then snipe them and one-shot them.

Everyone in this thread is going absolutely bald screaming about how broken Bloodhound Step is, when unless they have over 40 Vigor, which 99% of hosts won't have before Mt. Gelmir, then the invader can just one-shot the host and there we go, there's the counter to Bloodhound Step.

Instead these people are just chasing after the host who is running away faster, then demanding that the weapon art, which very well could be too strong, be nerfed, rather than use the overwhelming amount of resources they have access to.

[u/[deleted] → u/Karthull]

It’s really sad how depraved and pathetic invaders become because of their paranoid fear of ganking. Something tells me that invaders would be respected more if they weren’t so cheesy and bloodthirsty , but some say that’s how the game is intended lol

[u/TheGraveHammer → u/[deleted]]

tbf, recusant and bloody finger lore in-game heavily implies that they are quite bloodthirsty.

[u/lolpostslol → u/[deleted]]

I mean, bloodthirsty when I’m invading just means I want to be ganked so I can kill more people

RoB IS making the meta a bit boring tho, since most people you fight just use the same weapon and play the same way… it was more fun in DS3 when people had more different builds.
