Critical Damage

== Overview of Critical Damage ==
Critical damage is a multiplier applied to a unit's base damage, allowing it to deal increased damage with certain attacks. In Anime Defenders, critical hits are not guaranteed by default and only occur if a unit has a critical chance like the Cursed Berserker Paladin, either from its inherent abilities, from the traits Precision or Critical or the Galatic Spirit that provide it.
=== How Critical Hits Work ===
* Critical Hit Chance: This is the probability that an attack will be a critical hit. Units have a base critical hit chance of 0% unless modified by traits or abilities.
* Critical Damage Multiplier: A critical hit increases the damage of an attack by 1.5x, meaning the unit deals 50% more damage than its base damage when a critical hit occurs. 
== Sources of Critical Chance ==
=== 1. Unit Abilities ===
Some units come with built-in abilities that provide a critical hit chance, allowing them to deal increased damage consistently. These abilities are specific to each unit and can vary in strength and effect. These are Legion Assasin and Cursed Berserker Paladin.
=== 2. Traits ===
* Precision Trait: This trait increases a unit's critical strike chance by 30% and increases critical damage by 30%, making critical hits do 1.95x dmg.
=== 3. Spirits ===
* Galatic Spirit: This spirit increases the critical chance by 20%
== Interaction with Spirits and Debuffs ==
=== Spirit and Potential Debuffs ===
The True Spirit provides various buffs up to 75% damage, but it specifically does not apply its damage increase to critical hits. As a result, relying solely on the True Spirit's enhancements can lead to a debuff scenario where critical damage is less impactful compared to standard attacks that do not rely on the crit multiplier.
The Galatic Spirit increases the unit's base damage, range, and cooldown by 5% and also provides a 20% critical chance buff. The 5% damage buff is ignored by critical damage, so your critical buff is 1.42x instead of 1.5x.
