[LiA] How is backstab damage calculated?

This thread is about the sequel Lost in Astral.

My character can currently deal 26-39 Crsh damage. I did some tests on his backstabbing to an enemy (green evil eye) of 44 Health, 29 Armor, and Slsh Resistance, and the highest damage output I have seen so far is just 32. Is that normal?

He is not trained in Backstab, by the way.

I just tested backstabbing a different enemy (Adult giant spider) of 59 Health, 30 Armor, and Slsh and Acid Resistance, and that enemy can be killed with one hit (60 Backstab damage). Now I'm confused.

I suppose it's because a spider has a head, while an evil eye only has a body, if I'm not mistaken. Head hits are more powerful.

That makes perfect sense! Thank you.
