I wanted to do more invasions at the Grand Archives than what ended up in the video (to kinda theme the area to the build with the scholars) but a lot of people kept running past everything straight to the boss door for some reason and Central Irithyll didn't have that much activity. So I settled for Lothric Castle instead and did some invasions at the Mountain Pass as well.
I also had intended to use Hidden Body and initiate most of my invasions with a surprise Soul Spear. Since the effect is so short timing is crucial and after a few attempts I got impatient waiting for the typical host who doesn't progress when there is an invader in the world and later replaced it with a Soul Arrow. Snap Freeze proved to be useful for creating distance to drink an estus but I eventually swapped that out to Farron Hail for chip damage crowd control as you usually only need to show a threat of a turn and burn cast to slow down a host anyways.
