Backside is an upgrade to the Fleche skill for Rapier users in New World. Backside belongs to the Grace Tree, which is focused primarily on mobility and avoiding damage. This Upgrade causes your next critical strike attack to increase in damage by 15%. This bonus lasts for 5 seconds. Fleche can also be further upgraded with Interruption.
Active Skills for the Rapier increase in efficiency with Dexterity as their Primary Attribute and Intelligence as their Secondary Attribute. Investing into either Attribute will increase the damage of your Rapier’s basic attacks and skills, though you will see a greater bonus for investing in Dexterity.
