* Another niche use case exists for an [[Arcane Trickster]] making a {{SAI|Sneak Attack (Melee)|Sneak Attack}}. If the caster is out of spell slots, ''and'' no allies can flank for a sneak attack, ''and'' there is no other way to gain advantage for an attack roll, spending a single action on True Strike to enable a single sneak attack can be considered efficient.

** In such cases, True Strike can be even more useful when using the {{SAI|Sneak Attack (Ranged)|ranged version}} of sneak attack, since this allows the caster to benefit from the range of the cantrip, especially with a [[High Ground Rules|High Ground]] bonus. At such distances, however, it is typically easier to just use a Bonus Action to [[Hide|hide]] first and obtain Advantage.
