Elden Ring: PVP Invasions Guide (Best Weapons, Skills, & Items)

screenrant.com:

In , invasions are a unique way to engage with the PVP community, as they are completely random, unlike the Colosseum. You may encounter solo players or up to groups of three, and it is up to you to prepare for any and all environments and matchups you find yourself in. Sometimes enemies will use unfair tactics to get the edge on you, like spawn camping or ledge trapping, so be ready to counter these strategies.

There are hundreds of unique and powerful weapons in, so it can be difficult when deciding what armaments to bring into invasions. There's no harm in using your favorite weapons, but there are some contenders that often go overlooked or forgotten, especially within the PVP sandbox. With so many great tools at your disposal, giving different options a chance might cause you to find something new you love.

With Elden Ring’s Shadow Of The Erdtree Expansion less than a month away, players should work on finalizing their characters and builds.

The Stormhawk Axe is one of the best weapons in the game for fighting against multiple players, which will happen a lot if you invade frequently. Its weapon art, Thunderstorm, can stunlock enemy groups and hit around corners, often catching teams by surprise. If you are ever on the retreat, pull out this axe and wait for the enemy to round the corner before unleashing your skill.
