The back attack mechanic allows you to pull off just that. You can sneak your way to the back of an unsuspected enemy and perform a back attack.
But there are certain nuances that you will have to keep an eye out for. In this guide, I will showcase exactly how to do back attacks effectively. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the details, shall we?
How to Perform Back Attacks in LAD 8
The key to pulling off a sweet back attack is simple: catch the enemy unaware. While they’re busy brawling with your crew or admiring the scenery, slink around and position yourself directly behind them.
Once you are in position, press the attack key, and you should perform a back attack. Now, keep in mind that the enemy is required to be preoccupied for you to trigger a back attack.
Things to Keep in Mind
Use Your Team
Don’t forget your loyal comrades! If an enemy’s got their eyes glued to you, your party members can still land a sneaky back attack, flanking them like ninjas in fedoras. Teamwork makes the dream work, after all.
You can Get Back Attacked Too
Turns out, enemies are just as fond of backstabbing as you are. Keep your back against a wall, or have your crew watch your six. A well-timed perfect guard can also deflect that sucker punch and leave them reeling.
Don’t Forget the Damage Multiplier
Landing a back attack ain’t just stylish; it’s brutal! You’ll deal a whopping 1.5x damage, turning those punches into pavement-cracking haymakers. Every opportunity counts, so unleash your inner assassin whenever you can!
Utilize the Environment
Lure enemies near tight spaces or doorways, making it harder for them to escape your surprise attack. Think of it as Yakuza-style funneling.
Distract and Conquer
Use party members’ skills or environmental objects to distract enemies, then pounce when their guard is down. Remember, distractions are a strategist’s best friend.
Positioning is Key
Don’t just blindly charge from behind. Make sure you have a clear path to attack and avoid getting stuck on objects or allies. You wouldn’t want to trip over when you are planning to backstab someone in the back now, do you?
