So if you're looking to get more invasions going, i've learned a few tricks that really help with finding targets. The best spots are usually around those big castle areas like stormveil or raya lucaria, where lots of people are running through with their friends. Something interesting i noticed is that the map actually shows you where the action is - those blue circles mean there's co-op happening, which is exactly what you want.

For the best results, you'll want to keep your character level in a sweet spot. I usually hang around level 30-70 with somewhat upgraded weapons for the early areas, or if you're hitting the later zones aim for like 125-150. The calculator on fextralife's really helpful for figuring out your exact range, saves a lot of guesswork.

One thing that's helped me a ton is using both the bloody finger and recusant finger. They basically do the same thing, but sometimes one works better than the other. Oh and definitely turn on that near and far option in the settings, it really opens up your chances of finding someone to invade.

If you're having trouble finding people try hanging around spots like the fire giant area or mohgwyn palace, there's usually some co-op action going on there. Just keep in mind most times you'll be jumping into a 3-person party so bringing some good burst damage or bleed stuff isn't a bad idea. The busiest times are usually in the evening but honestly just keep at it and you'll find matches pretty quick, usually only takes a few minutes between invasions if you're in the right spots.
