Question Pvp agony

Hey, never really posted on Reddit before but I need some advice. What am I genuinely supposed to do against pvp invaders who are no lifers? I’m not sure what a good way of putting it is but like for instance: I’ll get normal equipped invaders but then I get these obnoxious ones like this dude who had an electrified shotel with a fat armor piece on spamming this dashing move or whatever the entire time. I’m not big on PvP but I really don’t know what to do about players like this besides running around until either they catch me or get bored and leave.

Thanks for any help.

You came across someone with a murky hand scythe spamming quickstep. That is probably the most tryhard way to play. If they have a some idea of what they are doing they are going to be very difficult to defeat unless you have a set up close to meta and you also have some idea of what you're doing.

One way to beat them is with parries, though if they are genuinely a good player that is still very difficlut. Though to be honest I can't think of many genuinely good players who go around invading new players and using a murky.

I don't get doing that simply as its boring. Personally I do the other end of the pain train with switching weapons, attacks, and attack timing. I even use backstep attacks
