Q:

I understand I need to be behind the enemy, but do I need to be stealthed? I can never get it to trigger, it’s always the double blade attack combo instead.

A:

You don’t need to be behind the enemy, it just gives double damage if you are. But yes, you have to be in stealth. When you go stealth, your first attack becomes a stealth attack based on your main hand weapon.
