Backstab | Combat Lords of the Fallen Guide

Although not too honorable, it is worthwhile to perform this attack as often as possible. Not only do you maximize damage dealt, but you can also start a special sequence of attacks, which eliminates the opponent quickly. You can use the backstab in three ways. If you are outside of combat and your opponent has not yet spotted you, it is a good idea to sneak up behind his back. If you are lucky, your opponent will not hear you and the fight ends in a matter of split seconds. Another situation is when you have already started the fight. After you lock the camera on your target, you try to circle around the opponent. Many of the opponents can land long and sluggish attacks that make them face one direction only, for a long time. You can exploit that, get him from behind and perform the backstab. The last method is even easier. Regardless of your spell set, you can always summon a clone that attracts the attention of the opponent. After your opponent starts attacking the clone, you will have lots of time to get him from behind and finish him off.
