Job Ability

  • Deals critical damage when striking from behind.
  • Obtained: Thief Level 15
  • Recast Time: 1:00
  • Duration: 1:00

Notes/Description

  • When activated, user's next strike will be a critical.
    • Attacker must be behind the enemy. (The game is very lenient in the definition of "behind", as this ability will also work from an angle.)
    • If this ability is used by a Main Thief, the next strike will also receive 1 base weapon damage for every point of DEX the player has.
    • Lasts for one minute or until an attack is made.
  • Sneak Attack works with the following types of attacks.
    • Physical Melee attacks. (Non-Ranged)
    • Physical Weapon Skill. (Limited: See below for more details)
    • Direct Physical Blue Magic. (Such as Frenetic Rip, but not AoE such as Frypan)
  • Side Info:
    • The attack does not guarantee the next attack to hit. (Contrary to popular belief)
    • The DEX-based damage increase for Thief is determined when the hit connects, not when the job ability is used.
    • When used without a weapon skill, it will bypass Blink and Utsusemi, but will not remove shadows from these hits.
    • When used in conjunction with a physical weapon skill, this ability will enhance the attack. Only the first hit of a multi-hit weapon skill is enhanced.
    • Usage of a ranged attack while this ability is active does not cause Sneak Attack to wear off.
    • This ability will work from any direction if Hide is active and the user has no enmity. See Hide for more details.
  • This ability is often abbreviated as "SA".
  • Some Japanese players may abbreviate this ability as "fui" (??). "Fui" is the Japanese word for sudden, abrubt, unexpected, unforeseen, or surprise.
  • When combined with Trick Attack, some Japanese players may use the abbreviation "fuidama" (???) a combination of "fui" (??) and "dama" (?, deceive).
  • Which Weapon Skills DO stack with Sneak Attack?
