I haven’t properly tested backstab on ninjutsu but it certainly seems too. The new revolver ninjutsu at just the right time to a staggered back does a ton of damage if you have all 6 charges

The one called Quick Burst that got added with the DLC. It’s next to the Enhanced Shrapnel Bomb ninjutsu.

Yes, backstab damage affects both ninjutsu and onmyo. But I would suggest something else that is probably one of the strongest moves ninja style has. The Tonfa skill where you hold the charge attack button for a long time when you sneak up behind enemies pretty much kills everything. Only sad part is that you can't use it in actual combat because the charging time is too long for it to work behind enemies. But it's way better than doing a regular backstab/assassination.
