Critical Hit

:Not to be confused with Savage Blow or Metal Killer.
Critical Hits (also known as Critical Attacks or just Criticals) are a Special Ability in The Battle Cats. They can be created by certain Cat Units and Enemy Units at a set chance.
This powerful attack deals double the damage of a regular attack and ignores the "Metal" ability, Critical Hits still do double damage to Metal enemies. This makes the ability particularly effective against Metal enemies, as they take only 1 damage from attacks otherwise, but generally do not have enough health to withstand Critical Hits. Although they are few and far between, Enemies such as R.Ost or Capy also possess the ability to perform Critical Hits, making them extra dangerous and rendering Metal Cat useless against them.
When a Cat or Enemy lands a Critical Hit, a sparkling star effect appears with a unique sound cue. In the case that a unit can perform both Critical Hits as well as Wave Attacks or Surge Attacks, every opposing unit that was hit from the Wave or Surge will also be affected, this is most notable in Kubiluga's True Form and Backhoe Cat's True Form.

==Trivia==
*If an enemy with the Critical Hit and Wave Attack abilities hits a Wave Immune Cat with a Critical Wave, the next attack from any enemy that hits that Cat will show the Critical Hit's visual effect, but not do double damage. This is most likely a bug.
