From what I understand, the hitbox for backstabs has been tightened, but as the poster said, you have to have your shield down as well. Backstabs are done with any weapon, it just requires the correct positioning. If successful, the enemy will recoil backward with a distinctive sound, and then you can do a right-hand normal attack to riposte them. Again, don't block while you're trying to riposte. The default keybind for a parry is CTRL + right click, but I would highly recommend changing this to a thumb button if your mouse has any. In either stance it is also possible for Havel to perform a large backstep, followed up by a dashing attack; if you see him backstep, do not close in and try to attack. Try to be constantly strafing to your left while guarding, and, after blocking one of his attacks, continue moving around him for a Backstab.

I test a lot of weapon for backstab and riposte.I found mustadon helberd really do a lot of damage when backstab and Greatsword [ugs] and fumeknight ugs really good when riposte.all great hammer do a lot of damage when backstab too and fast weapon with good damage when backstab is axe and spear too.

You cannot out-run them, unless you roll spam with Dark Wood Grain Ring. 3) Don't lock-off and back roll or just spam rolls away from them, it leaves your back vulnerable. Right before an enemy attacks you, shoot your gun and you will parry them if you got the timing right, press forward and R1 to perform a front backstab for xtra damage. The_Mojito_Jones • 2 yr. ago. I was shit at parries in dark souls and I'm definitely trying to practice them in this game. There is definitely a significant increase in backstab damage of straight swords and daggers even when they aren’t made fatal. The critical stat is a multiplier, not additive damage. A Dagger +5 has roughly the same Atk as a Fatal Dagger +5 for my character. A backstab on black phantom npc does 384 damage with Dagger +5. Tis your birth that wrongs you, not I. I haven't tried the last patch but, chaos rapier did one of the highest damage with BS/Riposte, followed by chaos bandit dagger or bandit dagger @ +15 with 40 dex. Most if not all rapiers have a higher critical modiffier followed by some knifes, I heard one of the tracers did decent BS damage. YDGUrPr.
