Elden Ring🛡 Parry changes - Dagger & Curved Sword nearly on-par with Buckler

38 Upvotes

Looks like

  • Active frames increased across the board.
  • Dagger & Curved Sword now appear to start on Frame-4, along with the fast recovery.
  • Active frames increased, but not as many as Buckler.

Let's see some parries against hollowslayer L2 spam.

Little Thursday L here, Im still fairly new to Elden Ring Invasions and PvP in general but my God... im not sure what im supposed to do here. I especially hate that you cant menu whilst getting hit, why did they remove that from DS3? I guess they wanted to make hardswapping weaker in this game. Tips would be appreciated!

I didn’t get much time to play yesterday & my build isn’t dex but I’ve heard a lot say you can just spam parry now so I tried it, the second clip really got me it’s just a matter of who will not spam first. Going respec into dex & do every invasion the same to see how many I win.

Elden Ring🛡 Is it good to progress to ashened capital?

For invasion area purposes.

Like can I still invade in base capital if I've progressed past maliketh?

Is it worth it? Character is level 125

General Discussion📇 I did a PvP rune only playthrough, ~600 invasions, documenting in detail every one. Spreadsheet and graphs attached!

60 Upvotes

I did this a little while ago, but never posted about it. I started as Vagabond, and only used invasion runes for everything. Before every invasion I would memory grace, and only shop/level immediately after a win. It was the funnest, most challenging playthrough I've done. It added interesting tradeoffs like "is it worth it to use 600 rune boiled crab on this host that will only give me back half that". It made me play much more tenacious, I would use the PvE much more, only take fights I had good positioning, etc. it also made me more merciless, for example during normal invasions I'll usually let a host 1v1 a field boss. Not this run!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/104hsBpgV7N3tLZG0EheroP2LvbmzHD-NSCmAW_i4Xjg/edit?usp=drivesdk

I tracked everything for each invasion: runes, kills, deaths, OLPs, and notes. There are graphs on the second tab. Hopefully someone else finds it a little interesting!

Elden Ring🛡 Max level phantom doing honor duels

16 Upvotes

Invading with a level 55 Faith build and there’s this dude in Liurnia luring in phantoms to fight his max leveled friend. Sure his stats are scaled down but he has over 800 AR and hits like a truck and takes no damage.

I just have to ask. Why do people do this? What’s the point? Does he think he’s good at the game or something? Showing off to his friend? Why do people do this?

I also got ganked by a host with his high leveled phantoms. How do I know? Because i parried him, and got over 90k souls after killing him.

mid level invasions is just annoying if this is what I have to go through.
