Explain Decoy (Assassin skill)

[TeckDaCosta]

Hello guys,

Can someone tell me how is decoy works exactly? It should put me behind then enemy in steals mode thats clear, but it never happens. I just cast the skill then I'm always in front of them like nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?

You need the enemy hit you during the cast.

Yeah if the enemy hits you while casting it, you teleport behind them in stealth. You use it like a blade master would use their block.

That's correct. Decoy is like the "Substitution Jutsu" in the Naruto Series. That is the best example of how it works.

During Casting if you "get hit" you'll leave a "log" and appear behind the enemy giving you the upper hand by getting into Stealth Mode. 

 

With that said... Stealth is your bread and butter as an assassin. There is also another skill which does something similar, but requires more timing; The "Shadow Dance".
