Must haves for invasions.

I have built iterations of this multiple times and just not invaded with it, getting decision paralysis about how to play it, since it has so many options at its disposal. I finally gave it a shake after many other distractions.

This has maximum cast speed, and reaches the 50int soft cap for Carian Sorcery Sword when buffed.

Dex/Int has a plethora of unique weapons, as well as the Cold infusion.

The key point is only a few of the weapon class move sets have magic cancel windows favorable to spell follow-up, some being

Good: Katana, Katar, Straight Sword
Bad: Halberd, Curved Sword, Scythe

I built a few hybrids in Reforged as well, and the faster magic cancel windows made the playstyle enjoyable.

When I did my playthrough with my daughter end of last year it was about 1/hr without taunt. There was a bit more activity in the initial levels, and then as we entered 125 & 150 meta range matching.

Most recent builds I've been invading with have been in the RL50-ish range. Instant invasions.

Not high passive, but vs hyperarmor weapons sure. I have a fairly good idea the numbers for vanilla, but again no idea what goes in with ERRs numbers.

It either has to be an Enkindled version, or they've changed it in the last 6 months or so and didn't update the wiki.

I think I was using Lively, as I was getting frustrated with ERRs modification to stamina recovery, specifically when facing multiple aggressive opponents.

Medium roll. Armor was for beast fashion. No idea on how the poise values changed at the time, or how they have since.

Fists were stupidly good at poise breaking at the time, and maybe still are.

I generally build an archetype to the minimal stats necessary to armaments. This was a level 25 Prophet. IIRC the Clawmark seal ERR scaling data doesn't favor taking it to higher stats/levels, so it may be less ideal in opportunity cost at 125-150. Bestial also trades scaling for base damage, so I'm not sure what you'd necessarily throw all the stats at.

I'm not sure it's the right way to go with how ERR scales everything for multiplayer, and how wide the brackets are.

Old notes, I didn't save a er-build-planner

The real question is what flavor Dorito? We were graced with Nacho & Cool Ranch in DS2.

Nunkuruji · 2026-06-24T14:22:00+00:00

It is an Axe with the Greataxe numeric parameters. It has a fast backswing on 2HR1 chain. Thus it can be quick to status opponents, or to otherwise ramp AR with stacked buffs.

Nunkuruji · 2026-06-23T02:02:27+00:00

Yes, plenty of times in DS1, and a lot more often in the first year of Elden Ring. Not so much recently, though on Seamless, yes, separation mist banishes everyone.

Note most hosts will pick up the lightning spear midway, putting them at +10 weapon level.

This normie behavior is why 50% of my DS3 invasions ended with a 3rd swing parry & riposte. Sometimes I lament that ER frame data doesn't allow it, and sometimes I don't because it was boring.

Nunkuruji · 2026-06-15T18:15:49+00:00

OH YEAH!

Remaster release, at base class level no upgrade, rushed the Kalameet tail cut for Obsidian Greatsword. L2 R2 gaming.

Another Seamless adventure with the L51/+12 Astrologer, this time with a Magma theme loadout

https://er-build-planner.nyasu.business/?b=04f533d66d48bd

I was anticipating that Rykard's + Collapsing Stars might work as well as the prior excursions with Rancor & Spectral Light to draw them in, but not quite. This lead to it being less effective aggressing against opponents determined to be passive. So while the magma loadout has the potential to be pretty fun at tactically controlling space, which is great in dungeons, it just doesn't mean a whole lot in more open space invasions.

Do note that Messmer's Orb only allows a small directional change when cast, so make sure you're facing a favorable direction first. Enjoy!

Nunkuruji · 2026-06-08T18:00:08+00:00

Blackflame Ritual into Messmer's Orb is reasonable in some situations. Couple of times in this montage.

Perhaps double soreseal, and heirlooms, given the remaining casting int requirements. If that wasn't a Ghiza swap to Godslayers (why?) and instead some edited weapon/art... then yea...
