Where do you see your crit rate?

[Dr.Octagonapus]

Ive looked everywhere, even online, where is your characters crit rate? or am I blind?

if it's anything like Classic, it's dictated by DEX, but the percentage itself isn't explicitly told to you.

There is a 5% base hit chance for crit, just add that to your add on skill rate, your augments/pre-sets and your class skills to get the number. It's not displayed unfortunately but with only 3 fields + default, it's easy to calculate, just add it all up, it's not multiplicative.

It's a good stat to build but items that give crit rate are very rare, notably only the "sezun" and Duel augments, the fatele pre-fixes and your skills and "sezun" and duel augments are situational. Outside of the event/duel, it won't trigger. If you have a Verschmelz weapon, it is very good, you just have to build beyond its negative potency and you'll get a killer weapon that always crits. Variance and Floor potency become meaningless with it so don't bother with these.

This is completely wrong, DEX only affects the minimum damage dealt and maximum damage taken. Crit Chance is not dictated by Potency Floor (pretty much DEX in NGS, without the "maximum damage taken" part).

The game does not display your Crit Chance, you will have to calculate it manually.

Crit Chance is additive, so once you know the numbers you can just add them together, unlike most stats in this game which is multiplicative. Here's the rundown:
- Most weapon have base 5% Crit Chance, with the exception of Argenti.
- Up to +10% Crit Chance from Braver's Main Addon Skill
- Up to +15% Crit Chance from Slayer's Sub Addon Skill (Downed Critical Hit Rate Up)
- Up to +100% Crit Chance from Weapon Potentials, depending on the weapon
- Up to +22% Crit Chance from Fixa Fatale
- Up to +30% Crit Chance from Main Class Slayer Skills (+5% Max for Sub Class)
- Some augments can also give additional Crit Chance, such as Sezun (seasonal) or Defi (duel)
- +5% if Tier 3 Flugelgard Buff
- Specific location, such as Leciel Exploration and other quests, can also give additional Crit Chance

EDIT: forgot Verschmelz and sezun/defi augs

plus the damage numbers are so low that if you have 75% crit it would break the game almost right away

75% Crit is the chance it will crit, not the damage. Damage is always 120% of max unless affected by the Crit Potency skill.

I wish people wouldn't pretend they know what they're talking about.
Mechanically, a crit is a 100% weapon ATK roll with 1.2x potency multiplier * crit potency multiplier
