Notes

• Whether or not the foe is "Facing away" is determined by the foe's foot orientation; thus an enemy that is walking away from you while turned around will still take backstab damage even though it's upper body is facing you, though a bandit running backwards while firing will not.
• This skill works best while Decepti0n is active as it provides a decoy to distract the enemy.
