CRIT Hit

CRIT Hit
Type	Combat Game Systems

Critical Hits, abbreviated in-game as CRIT Hits, refers to the random occurrence of an attack dealing increased damage to an opponent.

The probability that an attack will be a Critical Hit is controlled by the CRIT Rate attribute. If the attack is a Critical Hit, the CRIT DMG attribute will determine the multiplier applied:

$\text{DMG}_\text{CRIT} = \text{DMG} \times (1 + \%\text{CRIT DMG})$

All characters regardless of quality or weapon start with 5% Base CRIT Rate and 50% Base CRIT DMG. These attributes can be modified by:

• Elemental Resonances
• Talents
• Constellations
• Artifacts
• Weapons
• Food
• Character Ascension Bonuses

If the CRIT Rate is equal to 100% or greater, an attack is guaranteed to be a Critical Hit. If the CRIT Rate is equal to 0% or less, an attack can never be a Critical Hit.

Critical Hits cannot trigger on enemies that are immune to the type of damage dealt or during enemy i-frames.

Critical Hits appear as larger-font numbers on the screen compared to non-crit hits. Another way to tell if you scored a critical hit is to watch the DMG dealt; a critical hit will have damage multiplied.

CRIT Optimization

Main article: Attribute Optimization

There is a general rule to maximize the product of CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate to maximize the expected DMG.

Let r be the CRIT Rate probability ($r\le 1$) and d be the CRIT DMG ($d \ge 0$) in decimal form (for example, 150% CRIT DMG would be $d=1.5$).

Suppose the DMG is x without CRIT. The expected damage is therefore:

$E(\text{DMG}) = (1-r)x + r(1+d)x = x(1 + rd)$

In general, the goal is to maximize this product by making r and d as large as possible. However, by introducing a constraint on the relation between r and d, it is possible to calculate an optimal ratio between the two. The rule of thumb is to aim for a 2:1 ratio between CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate. See Attribute Optimization for full derivations of these results.

Guaranteed CRIT Hits

General

• Having 100% or more CRIT Rate means that attacks will always critically hit.
• Aimed Shots on an enemy's weak point guarantees a CRIT Hit.
  • On Ruin Machines, this is on the exposed cores.
  • On most Mystical Beasts and most humanoid enemies (Kairagi, Nobushi, Treasure Hoarders, Fatui, etc.), this is directly on the head.
  • On certain enemies, the weak point may be protected until the enemy performs certain actions.
