Direct Hit Rate

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

Affects the rate at which your physical and magic attacks land Direct Hits, dealing 25% more damage than normal hits (this percentage of extra damage is fixed). The higher the value, the higher the frequency with which your hits will be direct. A direct hit is indicated by the flying text damage number being in a slightly-larger font.

When under an effect that increases the chance of a Direct Hit, actions that are guaranteed to deal a Direct Hit will deal increased damage, according to the Direct Hit Rate (as of Patch 6.2).

If an attack is both a Critical Hit and a Direct Hit, it is considered a Critical Direct Hit, and the damage boosts of the two effects are multiplied by each other. A critical direct hit is indicated by the flying text damage number having two exclamation points (!!).

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