Critical Hit

From Final Fantasy XIV Online Wiki
(Redirected from Critical Hit Rate)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Affects the amount of physical and magical damage dealt, as well as HP restored. The higher the value, the higher the frequency with which your hits will be critical AND the higher the potency of critical hits.

Heals can Critical Hit, but they cannot be Direct Hits.

Because Critical Hit acts to boost both the frequency and power of criticals, it is widely considered the most important secondary attribute for increasing DPS and as such is often prioritized for materia melding.

History

Critical Hit was formerly named Critical Hit Rate before Patch 4.0 and the release of Stormblood.
