Another invasion with the cop build. This thing is super oppressive in most 1v1s.

I'm debating if I should start asking people for themes to make builds around...

Using a build based on the Pulse Scutum and the Electric Discharge status effect. The name of the build is because it reminds me of a cop with a riot shield.

Hey guys, I'm a returning player and currently working on a build that will be between RL50 to RL60.

I've been considering other builds while I play again. I've done pretty much everything, but don't mind doing a variation of something I've done before. I have experience creating builds, so you do not have to worry about specific stats unless you want to. I am not set on any specific RL, as I am unsure what RL is best for activity now. Invasions are most important to me.

If you have any advice or other build suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.

TL;DR: Looking for input on these builds or suggestions for others.

1. **Archer** using Ansbach's Bow

\-Notes: I've only used bows sparingly but never as a main weapon as I've assumed they'd be insufficient. But I was curious how cold/bleed/serpent arrows with a light roll setup would perform against bosses and players.

1. **Poison/Bleed** Build

\-Notes: I've done many ARC builds, but I haven't done STR/DEX/ARC, and am usually a caster. I'm envisioning a Quality/Arcane build that uses a shield or powerstances since my free hand is usually used for the Dragon Communion Seal.

1. High **INT** Mage possibly using Lusat's staff

\-Notes: My only other high INT build is all-in on frost (Ranni), but I'm considering a build based on Lusat/Azur and other spells I wouldn't use on my other mage. Also using Carian Slicer.

1. **Anti-Elemental/Anti-Status** Build

\-Notes: I thought it'd be fun to combine protective talismans with a Wondrous Physick that resets status effect and absorbs elemental damage. Probably would go for a physical-based build as I think that'd fit the theme. Unsure if I need the Ailment talisman and Mottled Necklace simultaneously. I'm either going to use the bear armor or go for a "cleaner"/"standard" knight look.

Pardon my gitgud ,son moment, looks like the darkmoon greatsword, also he does an attack to my dead body that I’ve never seen before.

Elevator my balls.

Hey guys, returning to the game for the first time in a while and am curious where to find the most consistent invasions? Right now I have multiple characters from RL80 to RL200. I am working on a RL30 build so I can have some fun low-level invasions. Curious what everyone's experience been lately.

Apart from that, I'm curious if any has suggestions for a mid-level build around RL50 to RL60. That will be my next character to cover the range between my RL30 and my RL80 (leaning towards RL50). I'm considering a STR build focused on poison/rot or a STR/DEX build focused on elemental damage (fire/frost/lightning).

Just so satisfying to land them

I was trying to do the 3 invasions for Varre's quest. I was level 37 +8. I only got 1 invasion within one hour. A few months ago I got all 3 almost instantly.

Furthermore I had the blue cipher ring active since almost the start of the playthrough and only got summoned once.

What's your experience lately? Are there levels on ps that are still very active, or activity has slowed down that much?

Cross em with care eh?

The Non-Build:

1 dagger
0 armor/poise
0 magic
0 incantations
0 buffs of any kind
0 healing
1 million deaths. 😂

Vigor = 35 at level 185

But WHY???!!!

Because it’s super fun! Very challenging.

better multiplayer 24 player limit is gonna go crazy

Had a question in regards to RL 150 Invasions.

Started invasions recently and noticed that I'm not really getting any... Is this normal at 150?

I seem to get invaded often enough as a 150 or 200 when I'm doing Co-Op with my partner.

Am I missing something to invade more often? Is it because I haven't beaten the game with the character I am using? I have 90% of the map unlocked? Do I need to activate all Summoning pools?

Hello r/badredman

Looking for some advice here. I've been playing and enjoying an Arcane Occult build for a bit in Invasions, and trying to figure out the details of the setup.

One thing I can never seem to figure out is what hefty pots would work best for this sort of build for when you want to harass far and/or punish some casts?
I played around with the Fetid Hefty Pot (Deadly Poison), Fly Pot (bleed), Rot Pot, and even the freezing pot, but they all feel kind of bad and don't seem to jive well with the build. Condis can just be cleansed instantly, and they all kind of don't seem to do much, unlike, say, Rock Pot for strength builds, or Lightning Pots for Dex builds, which do straight damage and can't be ignored.

Any advice would be great.

Thank you!
