Bristleback vs Backstab

Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 9:31 pm

Hello everybody when rigwarl has the lvl4 bristleback (which reduces damage from rear %60 I think) can refuce the extra damage from rikimaru's backstab?Or will it reduce just the base damage?
Also,from that 2 anti-like skills,can we say that the Rigwarl and Rikimaru like Anti-Heroes of each other?

Well, It'll probably reduce from the total damage dealt (base+backstab)... And I wouldn't say rikimaru is an anti-hero for bristleback... Riki's backstab is REDUCED by bristlebacck so thats a DISADVANTAGE to rikimaru...

Backstab occurs before the attack, IIRC.
Both are Reduced by Bristleback PROVIDED that they are not lethal.

For the definition of lethal damage, please use the search tool.

Told you so! Hehe... I was right... Anyway, I really wouldnt take rikimaru against bristle back... Riki does MORE damage up front than from behind so his major hero-killer power is gone...
