Crit Chance

Crit Chance

Your weapons have an x% increased chance to deal a critical hit. The maximum chance is 100%, meaning every hit is a critical. If this is negative, the value is subtracted from your weapons base crit chance, to a minimum of 0% chance to critical hit.

Most weapons have a 3% base chance to deal a critical hit for 2 times the damage. Some weapons have a higher critical hit damage multiplier such as Knife or a special effect such as Thief Dagger. For these weapons focusing on getting more critical chance is often important. Some weapons like Fist deal less damage on a critical hit. For these weapons, critical chance is less effective and sometimes skipped entirely.

You can see the critical hit chance and damage multiplier of different weapons at the Weapons page.

What can Crit?

• All hits from Weapons along with any projectiles spawned by those weapons.
• Projectiles from Items such as Alien Eyes and Baby with a Beard can also crit with a base 3% chance for 2 times damage.
• Explosions from weapons can crit, such as Rocket Launcher, but explosions from items such as Rip and Tear can't.
• Explosions from Characters such as Bull and Glutton can crit for 1.5 times damage.
• Structures can't crit.
• Burn can't crit.
• Randomly targeted damage from items such as Baby Elephant, Cyberball, or Riposte can't crit. Same with the ability from Lucky and Lich.
• Piercing and Bouncing attacks can crit individually on each Pierce/Bounce.
