When I'm using Great Weapons they just wait for me to swinging for like two times. And dodging between my swings. Then they're easily going at my back and backstab me. But when I'm trying to do the same then I'm going too far away from them that I can't even reach them to backstab them until they turn. It's same with mobs most of the time. TIL that you can backstab the boars. I was trying to not get hit, and I stuck by the go to Dark Souls strategy: stick by the booty. Then back stab animation started at the pigs buttocks. 56. Sort by: honestly i dont know where you can find this list, but take in consideration that normally light weapons have a faster backstab movement, but in absolute the the piercing sword are the faster, dagger doing more damage in backstab, and well straight sword are the best weapons in general XP Originally posted by captainthrall: Originally posted by Fishercat: Not unresponsive but you will regret poorly timed presses.

It's basically a small trapezoid starting at your opponents feet and extending about 1-2 steps behind them. You must be in this box to activate the backstab. It was extremely good, and very much because of the depth. It's easily the best pvp in the entire souls series, with dark souls 2 comming pretty close but more limited in build variety. However, it was not accessible because of how little intuitive sense it made and the knowledge required to be competitive. It really required a mentor to make I cant backstab while locked on, when i am free cam I can backstab just fine, and this isn’t just “oh you’re holding you’re shield up” or “go for an angle” like i have tried everything but I cant backstab??? this made backstab chaining difficult and i want an answer. note: i have seen guides (such as fightincowboy) backstab while locked on and i cant? like it is so weird. dont .
