CRIT Hit

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 CRIT Hit is controlled by the CRIT Rate attribute. If the attack is a CRIT Hit, the CRIT DMG attribute will determine the multiplier applied:

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

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

CRIT Hits cannot trigger on enemies that are immune to the type of damage dealt. Elemental Reactions (except Lunar Reactions) generally cannot CRIT unless otherwise specified.

CRIT Hits appear as larger-font numbers on the screen compared to non-crit hits. Another way to tell if you scored a CRIT Hit is to watch the DMG dealt; a CRIT 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 (${\displaystyle r\le 1}$) and d be the CRIT DMG (${\displaystyle d \ge 0}$) in decimal form (for example, 150% CRIT DMG would be ${\displaystyle d=1.5}$).

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

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

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 CRIT.
• 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.
