Invasions pit you against a host and often summons. This variant shifts Rivers of Blood from dueling to asymmetric combat, where crowd control and burst damage matter more than sustained pressure.

Strategy & Tips
- Use the environment to separate the host from phantoms
- Corpse Piler excels against groups — it hits multiple targets and procs bleed on all of them
- Focus the host; if they die, you win regardless of phantoms
- Use Bloody Finger to re-invade if you die — persistence wins invasions
- Carry Freezing Pots to interrupt Cerulean Tear heals at range
- Back off and reposition if outnumbered; wait for a phantom to overextend
