What guides written while Vanguard was running recorded for this ability. Kept beside the current figures rather than replacing them — the game was rebalanced across its life, so both are right for their own year.

Damage, healing and hate in Vanguard scale with your stats, skills and level — the figures above are the ability's own, not what a particular character will see.

Notes

Previously recorded by mmodb as: “This attack deals massive damage (175% weapon damage + a bonus) if used from behind. It requires a piercing weapon” (http://vg.mmodb.com:80/spells/backstab-ii-32.php)

Read from the in-game tooltip in VGO Emulator. Bracketed damage figures shown in game are the skill- and level-adjusted values for that character and are not recorded here.
