Skill Interactions

This skill becomes available for use when  Critical Response is applied to the Burglar, which occurs upon landing a Critical Hit with any skill.  Aim and  Coup de Grâce also grant this effect, and, if specialized in Blue-line, evading an enemy grants this effect. Successfully removing a Corruption with  Purge Corruption also applies this effect to the Burglar. Using this skill opens up the Burglar's Critical Hit Chain, allowing the use of one of the following skills:

•  Exposed Throat
•  Flashing Blades
•  Hedge Your Bet (Blue-line Only)
•  A Small Snag (Yellow-line Only)
  

Using the skills  All In and  Coup de Grâce temporarily reduces the cooldown of this skill by 3 seconds.
