The 0.4 is a result of 0.6 + 0.8 => 1.4, the 0.4
Even at level 375 invasions happen pretty quickly. I think Elden Ring just has such a massive player base that there's almost always players of every level range online
I’m REALLY glad you’ve decided to do higher level invasions. I find the time to kill isn’t as harsh as 125-150 and you can have the build variety as you say. When the DLC comes out I’m predicting that 150 will be the lower end of the meta range
Yeah, I personally think it’s fair to assume that most people are going to start with their character at 150 for the DLC. Since on average, most players ended the game at 140 to 150 I’m told. It would make a lot of sense for 150 to 200 be the most active DLC invasion range.
As someone who does both co-op and invasion using the same characters and absolutely loves cosplay/themed builds over meta, I ALWAYS go for 150 minimum. 125 and 138 just don't allow that much versatility, whereas 150-168-200 are the goat for that. You can have a main damage stat and a secondary stat for versatility or spells, plus comfortable endurance and mind. It's just a more chill and fun experience imo, less dedicated gank squads, more co-opers to help and invade going through NG cycles and such.
It's literally already at that range and BEEN at that range. There are less players at 125-150. Usually noobs or try hard gatekeepers with very little in-between
@@ChaseTheBro seemed like I’ve missed this, but the new meta is 166/168. I get no problems invading at 150 on PS5, but I hear PC takes longer. Makes sense as you can say have a full quality build, but enough faith to run Beastial Virality/have a blood weapon with a tiny bit of Arcane
You've put out such great content, but this is easily one of the best videos you've ever made. I enjoyed each and every moment, start to finish. The double kill with the gold mace by the boss wall was... -chef's kiss-
Funny in the haligtree invasion that after all these hours in pvp that chase didn’t realize he could just read the “Furled Finger” text to figure out who the host was. I know there’s trick talismans you can equip but he was trying to go off of whether or not they were orange/yellow enough when he could’ve just read the text. Great video though :)) just thought that was funny
One of my very favorite things to do in this game is get a nice perch high up, wait for a squad to walk under me and then make a big superhero entrance into a fight by landing amongst them using the Marikas Hammer ash of war. When you land it from high up without them seeing you its like you fell from the sky.
Chase I implore you to do a quality build at this level seeing as you can reach both hard caps have 60 vig and still have points leftover for endurance to wield the heaviest weapons
I hope for the day where Chase does an invasion against 3 phantoms and they all do the incantation Chase hates non-stop. That would be hilarious and interesting to see how he deals with it all lol
"You survived for a long time, ghostie" ....yeah, maybe because he was playing in a different galaxy....that laaaaaaaaaat doe. Chase has got WAY more patience for high lat play than I do.
Chase you are the reason i farm the giant bird at mowghs, so that one day i can get in an invasion with you and probably last like 2 seconds 😂😂, keep up the great work 💯
Currently level 250+ and one thing i notice is theres a lot more friendly invaders, hosts sometimes allow 1v1 (depending on area), no rivers of blood and moonveil, and lots of cosplays. I invade once in a while and dont get t-bagged as much as my level 30 character.
It's super fun to use the watchdog staff AoW and then carrian retaliation on your own particles to spawn extra projectiles, a lot of people don't expect it
18:12 was pretty brutal, but it made me laugh so hard. Well done. Edit: listening back, I think you said you invaded them earlier, which makes this interaction much funnier.
At level 150 you'd have to lower your Endurance to around 35 and equip the Great-Jar Arsenal over the Erdtree's Favor +2. With 54 STR and 18 DEX you can comfortably have 20 INT and 19 FTH for the Fallingstar Beast Jaw while having the Spiralhorn Shield equipped. Only drawback is you'd have far less FP. You'd also have enough equip load to swap the two Branch talismans while having the Jaw and shield equipped. If you choose to swap the Crimson Amber Medallion for the Bull-Goat's talisman you'd have 0.25% equip load left over to still medium roll with 34 Endurance if you want min max Endurance but 35 is a nicer number.
I really enjoy playing around RL 220-250. It feels like this is when you can really start to complete builds as stats can be level 80 in 2 stats, and weapon variety increases.
honestly this is why i say that with how you need 60 vigor, like 20 to 30 endurance, and than maxed out AT LEAST one stat if not often for most weapons with double to triple stat scaling meaning leveling a casting stat usually while than also having to level mind to like at least 20 all means that level 150 is the meta level to invade and honestly its more like the meta level is a range from 150 to 200....
Nice that you can get matched at L200, I thought dedicated PvPers stopped leveling at 150 to avoid MM issues. Once I finish the single player campaign I look forward to PvPing a lot I enjoyed the invasions I did to finish the Varre questline and I've been getting hyped watching all these invasion videos.
Dude, that was solid. Making me think about taking my lvl 90 int build up to 200. I just get too bored of build making to keep up the invasions in Elden Ring. Dark Souls was different somehow.
It astounds me how Chase is so bad at realizing when he's fighting the host or not lmao I was just yelling at my screen "IT SAYS FURLED FINGER RIGHT THERE" at around 19:50 but I guess he's more caught up in the fight lol. Anyways, fun video as always!
@@odium1954 Oh, I'm aware of the talismans but not every host/summon wears those which was the case in that specific part of the video Edit: plus it tells you the name of the host at the start of the invasion lmao
Only from watching this video, Ißve learned more than in my 500+ game hours damn, you are suuper good in elden ring bro and hillarious too, thanks so much! 💪💯
I think the Lightning infused swordspear has the highest thunderbolt damage scaling but I might be wrong, with high dex the damage is pretty comparable but the beast jaw has multiple stat scaing so it could get much stronger past a certain point until it hits its soft caps
I’ve found a good sweet spot around 225 it lets you spec into any weapon and then a few different types of magic or focus on one type while stills being able to change build on the fly
another way to tell the difference between host and summons it will say host of fingers above their name if they are a host 😐 if they are using the mirrors to look different it will still have the name over their head
Chase accidentally killed so many fellow reds that the "I will not kill the red" sounded like a vow. He not only NOT hit his fellow invader this time, he saved him from being riposted.
Thank u chase for listening. Thx fr not teaching gankers the way of the OP invader. U will alwaya be the 🐐. No matter how many tubers or streamers come.
I'm level 207 or something like that, on the character I've essentially beaten the game twice with, have everything and more on, and am doing the DLC with. I was distraught that I had levelled so much for the sake of ever doing PvP... but this video showed me it's not a bad thing! 200's is still very viable
Name: FURLED FINGER

I love Marika's Hammer so much. Absolutely phenomenal invasion weapon
Until people realize you can completely avoid it by just jumping like Godfrey’s L2
Chase: "Sometimes I think AoW damage is too high, the fights end too quickly, maybe I'll try not using shard of alexander so much"
Also Chase: 18:17
Tbf they were just about to fog wall, so he needed a fast kill
to be fair it is level 200 and people still not even getting their vigor to 40
we need an inverse shard of alexander that reduces incoming AoW damage
I mean it’s already nerfed for pvp anyways right???
I personally would like shard of alexander to not exist, ash of wars already do lots of damage. Since it exists though its optimal to run lol.

I can barely get any invasions at 150 maybe I will try 200. Are there any other levels recommended for frequent invasions?
The lower levels such as 60 are very active but they definitely dont allow for a huge build variety. I am personally going to test 166, and 200 some more. 166 can invade down to 150 for sure while also hitting 200. So in theory it should get a lot of activity
