Back Hang is a Grappling sub-skill in the Stamina Skill Tree, available to Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka. It lets you get closer while airborne or latch onto a specific target to attack or escape danger. Once latched, you cling to the target's back, gaining a unique positional advantage.

Upgrade the Grappling skill to Level 4 for each character individually, since characters do not share skill progress upgrades. Reaching Level 4 requires investing in all prior Grappling levels (Throw, Lariat, and either Giant Swing or Screwdriver depending on the character).

When you are next to a large enemy, pressing the grapple input (X + Square on PS5) causes your character to latch onto their back, clinging to their neck or torso. While latched, you can attack from behind before dropping off. The continuous Stamina drain of 10 per second means you cannot stay attached indefinitely, so time your attacks carefully.
Back Hang is excellent for closing distance on ranged enemies or fleeing targets. Latch on to prevent them from creating space.
While latched onto a large enemy, you can attack from their back before dropping off. This is useful against enemies with strong frontal defenses.
Use Back Hang to escape dangerous situations by latching onto distant objects or targets to reposition quickly.
The 10 Stamina per second drain is modest, but it adds up. Drop off before your Stamina empties completely so you still have enough to dodge after landing.
Back Hang is most effective against large monsters and beasts. Smaller human enemies may not provide a useful target for latching.
Combine Back Hang with other grappling skills for creative combos: latch on, attack from behind, drop off, then follow up with a Lariat as the enemy turns around.
