Best lvl/gear/build for Watchdogs of Farron?

[Alpine [rus]]

When I just played - almost wasn't summoned to This Defence. (Maybe 'cause I got too many levels wery quickly?). So now I need a plan.
Need characher that will be summoned into this covenant wery often. So - need Optimal Level. What weapon (Warden Twinblades?) and what weapon-upgrade-level could be good.

About SL 25 to 30 with a +2 to +3 weapon would be your best bet. SL 25 with +2 will get you the most invasions, while SL 30 with +3 will give you a better chance in the invasions you get. For weapon, raw longsword, raw mace, sharp twin sellswords blades... Generally raw weapon with 27 vigour should make most things work, just get some armour and you'll have a good chance against the co-opers and gankers.

Level 20

Claymore or some other weapon with poise frames and decent scaling. + 2 or 3

iron round shield (simple inf)

Fire dagger +2 or 3

at least 14 poise to tank straightsword r1s while 2handing.



etc / etc / hornet ring / prisoner's chain


Leave abyss watchers alive to be summoned to fight for the watchdog's. Once they're dead the covenant is dead.

Chaos Mail Breaker is better at low SL.



I think the best upgrade level is +3. SL, I´m not sure, maybe something in the low 20s. I host there with a SL40/+3 and I get invasions non-stop.

Wait what, no they're not? I've been summoned when I went to meta level, that was after beating the Abyss Watchers. The covenant can't die.

Ah my mistake.
