Elden Ring Player Creates "Furnace Trap" To Cook Invaders Alive
Ever since Elden Ring got its Colosseum update, we've seen a renaissance in PvP builds. There are so many viable strategies that it's rare to see two of the exact same invader builds in a row, and innovative new builds pop up all the time.

Built more than sufficiently tough, LordTexugo lures invaders into a confined space with only a single exit, then once inside, they spring the trap by standing at the exit and unleashing the Visage Shield's skill. Tongues of Fire is essentially a giant flamethrower attached to the front of the shield that spews flames while the player sits comfortably behind a wall of steel. Combined with the high poise and armor, LordTuxego simply keeps spraying fire while taking whatever punishment the invader can dish out. Unable to escape, the invader invariably perishes well before LordTexugo.
