Discussion. I see now why Dark Souls 1 is considered the greatest. I never thought this game would ever live upto the expectation. Before I started playing the dark souls remastered, I used to think this game was over-hyped and overpraised by the Dark Souls poise backstab veterans. Now I think about it I was so wrong. There’s just not much depth to souls pvp & backstabs atleast add some layers to it making it enjoyable for the people who choose to invest time in the pvp Pig makes a good point. Not to mention the transition from pve to pvp in all souls games flow nicely because of it. The ONLY problem with backstabs is the reward vs risk. Try pressing R1 / RB on its own. Dont go in the center of the back, go for an angle at the shoulder blade. This is what I’ve been seeing, I thought I had just forgot how to backstab but it seems the trigger is kinda off-center of the back. That’s why we are seeing frontstabs with no lag. The only thing required for a backstab is being behind your enemy and hitting light attack. #1. Hunubul May 5, 2015 @ 2:30am. Guardbreak and jump attack is best if you bind to an other key. On keyboard. (I mean have light and secondary attack both bind to a key close to w, and w+light is guardbreak, w+secondary is jump attack) As for backstab Players must explore and fight their way through the vast open-world to unite all the shards, restore the Elden Ring, and become Elden Lord.

The backstab is basically the same as in dks2. It has the same amount of startup frames. The only difference is the animation (a successful backstab was indicated when the fist connected at the end of the startup frames in dks2, in dks3, this is invisible), and the attack after it whiffs (no damage in dks2, r1 dmg and properties in dks3). I havnt been playing the game for a while and i decided to pick it back up again after realizing i had never beaten it. i had no problems previously with riposteing and backstabbing but when i loaded in i realized i couldn't do it anymore. at first i thought i was just out of practice but after exploring it for awhile i found no matrter where i stood i coulnt backstab and even when i stagger With Demon's Souls and the first Dark Souls, backstabs were instant. You get behind an enemy and push the attack button and then you're locked into the backstab animation with the enemy, doing a huge critical attack. With the later Souls games, if you are behind an enemy and go for a backstab, you can whiff as it's not instant. .
