Oh thanks buddy, I didnt know the backdash has iframes in this game

Nice, thanks for the answer !

backstep? just press the roll button without moving
unlike how it works in every single other souls game, in ds2 backsteps have iframes, they arent instant though so u gotta time it, the number of iframes they have scales with ur ADP stat just like with rolling

hey plz can you tell how can you do that dash from before? its a ring or smt?

use the blue acolyte mod, its 2 notable features include infinite red eye orbs, and allowing u to activate a "soul memory+" invasion mechanic letting u invade people in ur SM range and anything above it instead of being locked to ur characters SM ranges

id also say 300k-500k SM is good for learning pvp, its enough points to have a decent stat distribution and the hosts youll fight wont be that good
1.5-1.7 million SM is the meta, its mostly what youll find people in arena at
blue acolytes SM+ invasions is a big help though, a lot of people are playing at massive SM ranges in the DLC areas

hey, could you please tell me the SM range of your characters please ? I'm trying to get the hang of the best SM for constant multiplayer but apart from the 30k one and 800k for Looking glass summons, it's a bit confusing.
