Can you backstab Lord of Cinder?

While Gwyn will try to rush you down, we recommend that you get up close to him, this will cause him to strafe left and miss a lot of the attacks with his sword, leaving him relatively open to attack. From here, we would also recommend that you bait him for a backstab if he tried to grab you with his right hand.
