can someone explain these confusing miracles to me please?

[StevenT2002]

so theres a few miracles i just genuinely dont understand.

firstly really any melee miracle. these confuse me because sometimes they will double my melee damage, even when the miracle says nothing about melee. actually sometimes its even more than double. i took the shock melee miracle recently and my melee damage jumped from 700 to 5600. the shock miracle says nothing about increasing damage and most of the time it doesnt. are melee miracles just really bugged??

secondly, crit chance miracles. what do these even do? theres alot of them and i just dont understand since this game does not have chance based crits. so why are there crit chance miracles? they dont seem to add randomised crits. so what do these do? because so far it seems like they literally do nothing

and thirdly. im not confused by this one but just want to bring some attention to it. the ice miracle tier 3. the one that gives you 90% damage reduction until it breaks. its really overpowered. the shield can take so much damage. so so so so so much damage. it takes like 5 full rounds to break. and when it does. it comes back after like 10 seconds. so its basically just permanent 90% damage reduction

1. Melee damage miracles double your damage, the exception is the most basic version of each melee miracle.
Each rarity doubles your damage up to a max of 5600 when you take a legendary melee miracle.
No idea why the first level of a melee miracle does not increase damage.

2. Crits allow you to deal headshot damage, but only if you don't make a headshot. Yeah, it's kinda stupid. Should be able to proc on headshots so you get even more damage.
Useful on shotguns and the God Killer, though.

3. Haven't obtained that miracle yet but that sounds awesome. On the same level as Invincible miracle + Ultimate charges 100% faster miracle from the cat.

ohhhhhhhh ok thanks so much for explaining that! so taking a crit chance miracle gives you the ability to crit chance?? that makes alot of sense. the wording is weird with how it says "increases crit chance by" when crit chance isnt in the game by default. melee miracles make sense though. the increased damage should probably be explained somewhere on the miracle. and yea the 90% damage reduction is really broken. ill be surprised if they dont nerf it. the only thing that sucks about it is there isnt an indication when it breaks. so you wont expect it and if youre being careless it can lead to a sudden death
