Upgraded sweetspot question

[H3avy]

Not sure what upgraded sweet spot does (right spear perk at lvl 5). It says 40% crit chance on range attacks. Im assuming that its a flat 40% but by the one who has the perk?

I can't remember exactly, but I believe that isn't just for ranged attacks, but all your attacks.

Does the perk also add destabilization debuff to your attacks? If so, then I believe the description doesn't specifically say ranged attacks, instead it says "attacks", it should mean including melee. I did see the description but didn't manage to test it out as my spear guy was a pikeman at the time.

I don't believe it is currently working, or if it is, it sets your crit hit% to 40%, not that it adds 40% (so assumedly, if you had more than 40% crit hit, with it, your crit hit would go down)
I say this because my spearman has 39% crit hit, plus that would be 79% crit hit and the unit is not rocking crits anywhere near 80% of the time

From the wording, I would assume its a flat 40 so for anyone who uses that perk, you would just pump all stats into strength

THe word CHANCE is what you need to understand. It is a hit or miss role.. you hit the RNG you get 40% more on the crit. IF not you get your regular crit chance...

That doesn't make any sense. you either hit the crit or you don't, you can't have 40% more chance to crit on the crit.
As I and Heavy said, what it appears is that it's a flat 40%. All your attacks have a 40% chance to crit and there is no use in increasing crit hit on the unit

You even stated it in your original POST "It says 40% Crit Chance: it does not say 40% crit increase....

The only possible middle-ground I could imagine is your ranged attacks having a 40% chance to crit via the passive, and then if they don't crit from the passive the remaining 60% of attacks make a roll based on your normal crit chance. So for example, if you had 40% crit chance on your stat sheet and picked up this ability it would be 40% (from passive) + (60% *.4) which comes out to ~64% "crit" chance total. But I don't know why there would be this completely unique functionality when the easier explanation is that the crit chance from the passive is broken or designed to disincentivize putting points into crit on spearmen.
