🛷 Dark Souls 3 Backstab Not Working

For Dark Souls III on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "hornet ring doesn't affect backstab". start practicing on easier to BS enemies. try the aldrich faithful in anor londo for pivots, and the four pronged plow hollows in undead settlement for strafe stabs. roll backstabs are not optimal in pve, and even pivots are more of a pvp thing, although they do work well on some enemies. most of your backstabs in pve will be strafe stabs. start on a four pronged plow hollow. lock on, sprint Because nowadays, that's EXACTLY what a "teleport backstab" is. Its people intentionally setting up horrible internet conditions so they can farm pvp to get convenant items. you have lag ANYtime (sometimes more, sometimes less) and the way it works (instantly upon hittting hitbox) it's bound to look odd sometimes. Doesn't make the game unplayable, but still mind boggling. the reason you still got backstabbed is not lag or latency, and to avoid it in the future you just need to understand the mechanics of how backstabs work in ds3. someone comes up to your back and presses r1, this initiates the backstab grab animation. if you get out of the initial grab A community dedicated to everything about Dark Souls 3.

A community dedicated to everything about Dark Souls 3. Backstabs are technically "regular hits" with higher damage in Dark Souls 2, with hitboxes and no invincibility frames, as far as I know. Rolling doesn't have invincibility frames either, so dodging around to get to the back would be harder.There are more combat options in general, so I wouldn't be surprised if less people do the backstab A community dedicated to Dark Souls I, game released for PC, PlayStation 3 and 4, Xbox 360/One, and Switch (Remastered). Members Online I’m journaling my darksouls experience PART #18 Once you've done this and understand the foundation, you'll understand when you can safely use r1's, parries, spells, etc. and even how to punish backstab attempts by using these mechanics - as opposed to only being able to stop backstabs by counter backstabbing, which is one of the most basic defences and will not work against good players Also, simply turning won't protect you from backstabs. Avoiding them is easy though. All you have to do is unlock, and walk away. It is still possible to backstab if you do this, but it is very difficult. It requires an angled backstab, and this is what I was referring to earlier when I mentioned angles are sometimes necessary. The default button layout is pretty bad, but there are some easy ways to fix it. I recommend putting your strong attacks on the side buttons of your mouse if possible and your alt swap for weapons and tools on number buttons. Other than that, Id say it performs just as well, if not better in most situations. 2. I'm two hours into the game and I swear I can't pull off one single backsta. I'm using a PS3 controller (Via Motionjoy/DS3Tools, profile set to Xbox controller) and even if I'm right behind the enemy and I hit R1 (RB I guess) my character attacks normally. I've tried with 3 swords and it still doesn't work. Yeah you cant use raw infusion on a dagger and expect higher backstab damage. Yeah the counter damage stays the same but your scaling drops. Scaling > infusion (on most weapons) maybe use bleed infusion. Do a couple hits then backstab and not only do more damage but half your opponents stamina for a brief time. rhoparkour. Well, I have nothing to base my guesses on, but there must definitely be something you are doing wrong. Not having correct angle, not being close enough, if you are using shield, you can't be holding your shield up while you are trying to backstab, that will give you just basic r1. Press Circle to do a backstep. That should make you leap over the "glitchy" terrain. jsavvy 12 years ago #9.
