n00b Backstab Question

Post by Shaughn »

Whenever I try to backstab with Yoshimo, it never works. Do I need to do anything other than hide in shadows and attack? Any help would be appreciated.

Does he hit his opponent, or does he miss? What weapons are he using?
If I asked, would you answer? Its your problem. Its a deep, deep problem. I have no way to ask about that... I have no elegant way of stepping into your heart without tracking in filth. So I will wait. Someday, when you want to tell me, tell me then. -Bleach

For a backstab to succeed, your thief must be hidden (either stealthed or invisible) and behind the target. Do you have Yoshimo equipped with the boots of speed?
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
