Critical hit

A critical hit has a small chance of happening every time you hurt an enemy. It deals double the damage of a normal hit. There are various items which can increase the default critical hit chance, which is 4%.

Visually, critical hits are represented as damage numbers that stay on-screen for a slightly longer time, are slightly bigger, and are orange rather than yellow.

Critical hits cannot affect other players in player versus player combat.

Maximizing Critical Hits

 * Maximal Melee Crit chance is 121% by combining Dragon Mask, Frost Breastplate, Chlorophyte Greaves, Legendary Obsidian Swordfish, Lucky Eye of the Golem, Lucky Destroyer Emblem, Lucky Celestial Stone, Lucky Moon Stone, Lucky Moon Charm while under influence of Rage Potion, Bowl of Soup and Ale. As this chance caps at 100%, you can skip minor items like Celestial Stone (-2), Moon Stone (-2), Moon Charm (-2) or switch to Chlorophyte Armor (-8) and still have 100% chance. Also, you can switch the Dragon Mask for the Hallowed Mask and still have 116% chance.
 * Maximal Ranged Crit chance is 124% by combining Orichalcum Helmet, Shroomite Breastplate, Chlorophyte Greaves, Unreal Sniper Rifle, Lucky Eye of the Golem, Lucky Sniper Scope, Lucky Destroyer Emblem, Lucky Celestial Stone, Lucky Moon Stone while under influence of Rage Potion and Bowl of Soup. As this chance caps at 100%, you can skip minor items like Celestial Stone (-2), Moon Stone (-2) and switch to full Shroomite Armor (-10) and still have 100% chance. It is even possible to use different weapon (-15) as the stealth effect from armor will add extra 10% back when needed.
 * Maximal Magic Crit chance is 94% by combining Orichalcum Headgear, Spectre Robe, Chlorophyte Greaves, any Mystical weapon, Lucky Eye of the Golem, Lucky Destroyer Emblem, Lucky Celestial Stone, Lucky Moon Stone, any Lucky accessory while under influence of Rage Potion, Bowl of Soup and Crystal Ball.
