Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Backstab only on first hit ( maybe bug)?

I think it's backstabbing, but it just doesn't show the message.

If you miss the first attack and backstab on the offhand, you'll see the message. Both have the same damage values even if the message doesn't show.

As mentioned by the previous poster, I think the -50% of dual wielding applies on backstab also hence why it seems lower than the first.
