Lunge through doors! (self.pixeldungeon)

I knew you could do a lunge attack, with the duelist, with blind spots; like if you can't see a mob that's behind some tall grass, a stone pillar, or you're in a garden, but I just realised you could do the same through doors. This will help with managing the sewers, crabs in particular. I assume door lunges should benefit as a surprise attack as well.

Lunge always hits, so there is no need to add a surprise attack

Doesn't that increase the attack lunge does?

I don't see that written in the ability description

Your normal weapon damage doesn't list surprise attack damage either. But I am making the assumption that there's extra damage with a surprised lunge since that may simply not be the case.

Regardless, there's still use for lunging through doors. Because of the fast movement of crabs, sometimes the only way to lunge at a crab is by backing out of the doorway and then lunging. It's also useful against projectile champions. By lunging through and then backing behind the door, you'll get a surprise attack in versus waiting for it to reach the doorway.
