The strategy presented here is not so good; it is actually quite risky. Very few NPC enemy can be killed in a single backstab, and it is extremely dangerous to battle the summoner and the champion at the same time.

A better strategy could be rush up and finish the summoner first (if player has enough damage or the summon animation is not finished) or run past the summoner and bait him to chase you. The point is to confront the champion alone, and as he has very few poise, it is easy to exploit this weakness with any weapon that has longer range than a dagger.
