Critical Strike

Critical Strike is a special ability found on many different weapons. It gives the pirate a low chance to deal double damage with an attack (Skill or Combo) with that weapon. This is assuming that the pirate has managed to hit their enemy with a superior blow or a more precise hit to cause greater damage. Some Cannon Items grant the ability of performing a critical strike with a specific ammo type. Unlike regular attacks where the damage appears in red, the Critical Strike appears in bigger yellow numbers with an exclamation point at the end. Critical Strike is a passive weapon skill, and does not need to be activated, happens at random.

This skill can be very useful to get the upper hand in PvP battles and boss battles.

With critical strike rank 1, you have roughly a 5% chance to have an attack land as a critical hit. This goes up to about 7% and 9% at ranks 2 and 3. Additionally, all sabres have innate critical strike chances based on their level of rarity. Each rarity tier gives 5% extra critical strike chance such that a crude would be 5% and a legendary is 25%.
