1.always equip way of blue covenant, then you can summon two phantoms, punish those invaders 4v1,don't use the dried finger,it would make you in disadvantage for 6v2 even 6v3(not at the same time, 6 players in one world at most ).

2.never run into the mobs,don't get away from bonfire, it's their business,just pop out giant tree seeds and bleed them dry.

3.always remember to attack in group with your phantoms, it's efficient for all of you using straight sword or estoc,spamming R1,invaders wouldn't make the riposte even if they parried you.straight swords pair up with ultra weapons is also a good tactic, just use your hyper armor and poise through the invaders and combo them to death.

4.positioning,cycle around the invader with your phantoms all the time,better in 180 degree, back stab while in his blind spot.

5.the invader would be stuck if you cycle around him or against a wall.

6.if you are a mage,just biu biu biu the ♥♥♥♥ out of the dark spirit while your friends attacking.

7.in case your phantoms all die, quickly change into the dodge mood,face towards your enenmy and back up or cycle around a pillar,roll while they attack,sure they will not hit you,once they give up clapping hands or use pine resin,summon other phantoms, sunbros first.

warning : only MLG players with high skills can master these ultimate tactics below

1.once all your phantoms get killed, and you are in low health, Alt-F4 immediately.

2.when you are parried (doesn't matter the dark spirit equiped hornet ring or not), Alt-F4 immediately.

3.when you are below half HP and being hit by ultra weapon once, Alt-F4 immediately.

4.when you are invaded by the same powerful dark spirit continually, Alt-F4 immediately.

5.when you are not in a good mood, Alt-F4 immediately.

all the tactics above require very flexible operation, and only for key boards, here are some alternative skills if you are not quick enough:

a.pull the internet plug on your pc immediately.

b.press the off button on your pc immediately (risky).

c.pull the power plug on your pc immediately.

d.let your mother stand by the router and tell her to pull the plug quickly (very efficient).

all the skills above would get you banned, but still better than being killed right?

what's more, don't forget to double point down and throw dung pies to show respect once you killed the invader.

have a good play.
