Changes: Ambush

Revision as of 22:22, 4 January 2013

Ambush is a Tier Two talent in Zer0's Cunning skill tree. It increases the damage done to unsuspecting enemies.

Level	1	2	3	4	5
Damage	+4%	+8%	+12%	+16%	+20%

Ambush takes effect when attacking an enemy from behind, or against any enemy which is not targeting you, and applies to both gun and melee damage. This makes it effectively a less powerful but more flexible version of Backstab. However the bonuses do stack with Backstab, so placing points in both? skills is viable for a Bloodshed build.
All attacks from Decepti0n will receive the Ambush bonus.
As it takes effect simply by having the enemies target someone else, when there are teammates present, Ambush can usually be taken advantage of continuously simply by standing further back than your allies, ensuring the enemies target your closer allies, preferably a tough tank like a Gunzerker or the mechanical summons of the Commando or Mechromancer.

 *Ambush takes effect when attacking an enemy from behind, or against any enemy which is not targeting you, and applies to both gun and melee damage. This makes it effectively a less powerful but more flexible version of [[Backstab]]. However the bonuses do stack with Backstab, so placing points in ''both''? skills is viable for a Bloodshed build.
-*[[Decepti0n]] is among the most viable ways of utilizing Ambush, especially when playing solo.
