I've been trying to come up with some decent combos of weapons for boss fights on this low level run I'm doing. With Nito, I can see the skellies being a problem if I don't equip an extra divine weapon. So I was thinking that if I could have my regular elemental longsword, and then keep a divine Bandit's knife for the skellies (This allows me to stay under 25% with RoFaP).
However, this would involve trying to get backstabs on them during the boss fight. Does this sound like a viable strategy, and make it worth the upgrade? The one upside to backstabs is that you get that short window of invulnerability for the animation. I just don't know if it would have the damage to get a one shot backstab...I have enough upgrade stuff to take it to around +7 divine, but I also have really low faith, so not sure if that will be too much of a hinderence. Any thoughts?
