What is the current meta on levels?

[V01D]

I’d consider myself a dark souls "challenger" having played DS3 for some time on different accounts, as far as I remember they had a meta of leveling between 120 and 150.

But I’m a complete Elden Ring (casual), played it for roughly 240 hours and I wanted to check out what the current builds were like on YouTube but it seems like builds range anywhere from 150 up to 250.

So my question is what is the current meta, or is there not one?

Don't know about PvP but for co-op 120-140.

My level 135 character is summoned constantly.
And hosts who summon me get invaded all the time.

It seems most players stay in that range.

Don't care about meta, but have no issues finding ppl in Colosseum for PvP (190 lv).

stop leveling at 125 or 150.

You can go all the way up to 200ish and still get plenty of coop.

200ish, you can still get summoned by hosts in lower level areas who're running higher NG+ cycles. 200 is actually pretty low for higher NG+ cycles, but it wouldn't be unusual for someone in NG+2 or 3 to be in the 250-300+ range.

Honestly, just go as high as you want at this point. The meta slaves are the minority these days and there is a ton of activity 200+
