Critical hitters

Post by KFCrispy »

So I'm doing a stat analysis of the characters for no reason. It turns out the character who ends up with the highest critical hit rate is Reinbach, followed with a tie between Chiepoo, Rita, and.. Maxine (really?). Maxine has really high SKL according to our guide, and high LUK (while both Chiepoo and Rita are the opposite). Next is... Pablo?? I guess he was designed to be "lucky", but these mages have too much SKL on them!

this is a list of the top critical hit characters with their approximated lvl 99 stats for SKL and LUK, assuming SKL and LUK play an equal role in determining critical hit rate like other Suikoden games.

Code: Select all

character/SKL/LUK/combined
Reinbach	200	219	419
Chiepoo	180	219	399
Maxine	219	180	399
Rita	180	219	399
Pablo	180	200	380
Flare	200	161	361
Lo Fong	161	200	361
Millay	180	180	360
Ameria	180	161	341
Ornan	161	180	341
Kika	219	118	337
Jeane	200	132	332
Frederica	161	161	322
Keneth	200	118	318
Selma	186	132	318
Sigurd	200	118	318
Helmut	219	93	312
Rachel	180	132	312

the only known critical hit formula is for Suikoden II, which is (TEC + LUK) / 32 = critical hit %
All of the games seem to correspond to this relationship where TEC (SKL) and LUK play an equal role in determining critical hit chances.

to compensate for such low base str, they have high crit rate

sounds reasonable, right?

at lvl 99, Chiepoo is has one of the highest STR/ATK ratings around, so i wouldn't call that compensation. sure, in general people that are good at one thing are probably bad in other areas.

Rita has few weaknesses in my opinion... she hits hard with a high dmg weapon, has pretty good magic stats, has high EVA, can wear some heavy armor (i think), and with high magic comes extra rune slots... she will easily achieve 3 rune slots for both magic and physical damage boosting. even if she can't use heavy armor she can use Skunk Rune or something)

most of the bottom characters on the list are all-arounders with good stats in most categories.

the characters with the lowest SKL and LUC stats are generally power hitters who are slow and have low MAG.... that leaves them with very few good points: inaccurate, slow to act, poor magic resistance, poor at dodging, few rune slots...

the only character i'd consider a poor character on this list would be Pablo, actually.
