criticals

Post by kenshindono »

hrm i always assumed criticals were luck based, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Nikea crits left and right, almost as much as george did at the start of the game and her luck is horrible. she does have very high acuracy and tech though, could one of those stats effect crit rates? Just wondering if anyone knew what effects it. Maybe its just based on the character themselves?

Have you raised her vtality skill, that would increase your crtical rate. Other than that I wouldn't know. For me it doesn't seem like any stat directly effects critical rate so maybe each character has a sort of hidden critical stat.

i still think it's TECH and LUK. Tech probably affects a lot of goodies such as parry, counter, and critical..

I think luck does help with criticals. Although I think that stats are only something like 20-30% of the calculation for things like criticals or multiple-hits. There is probably some base affinity with each character that the stats modify to get the real percentage. For instance you get Cathiri with insane stats in speed, luck and technique, but she NEVER hits multiple times. Then you get Sagiri with less speed, technique and luck and she multiple hits almost every time.

Actually I think Cathari never does multiple hits because she is long range. I don't think Long range characters can do multiple hits in this game.

Cool. So are you saying that all characters can do multiple hits but its just harder for some, or are there really some who just can't. I've tried just about everything to get Isato and Killey to do multiple attacks and it just isn't working.

i think multiple attacks is something that is also kinda hidden like crits. some characters with high speed and tech still dont do multiple strikes, i dont know its weird. I wish the devs or something would clear this up, i never have gotten a straight answer even back in SI, although it seemed it was more tech based back then

Every characters have their limit for multiple hit. Prince has 5(look at his unite or give him killer rune), Georg,Cathari & Killey just have single attack.
Critical rate 50% are based on characters IMO. My Isabel(Matthias gonna kill me) 2/3 attacks are crit with boost rune(actually a good rune because almost every battle can be done before the fourth turn)

mutli-strikes and continuous atks are probably based on weapon weight as well.
