Notes
- When activated, user's next strike will be a critical as long as you strike from behind the enemy and it doesn't miss.
- This ability will work from any direction if Hide is active. See Hide for more details.
- If this ability is used by a Thief, the next strike will also receive 1 base weapon damage for every point of DEX the player has when the attack hits.
- The effect wears off after 1 minute, or after the next attack on the enemy.
- Sneak Attack works with the following types of attacks:
- Physical melee attacks (non-Ranged)
- Use of a ranged attack while this ability is active does not cause it to wear off.
- Some physical Weapon Skills (see below)
- Only the first hit of multi-hit weapon skills will be enhanced.
- Single-target physical Blue Magic (such as Frenetic Rip, but not Frypan)
- When used without a weapon skill, it will bypass Blink and Utsusemi, but will not consume shadows. All other hits in the same attack round as the SA will also connect without consuming the mobs shadows.
