Critical Hit Chance vs Damage bonus

[Squidward]

From what I've seen there's no differentiation between which bonuses increases critical hit chance and critical hit damage, they're both just labeled as "Critical Hit +_%". The only way to find out is to actually equip them which is a problem when dealing with semi-permanent items like armor layers.

By me both work fine.

I'm saying there should be a way to tell which bonus increases critical damage and which increases critical chance because without equipping the item there's no way to tell.

I believe the way it works is that crit hit = critical chance and then there is another stat that gear/layers/buffs can give which is called crit damage.

It is a different story for the attribute point that you can invest into the crit hit stat. That attribute point gives 1% critical chance and 1% more critical damage.

There are two different bonuses, one that increases critical damage and one that increases critical chance but both are just labeled as "Critical Hit".

For example the Stiletto belt accessory increases critical hit chance by 5% and the Layer of the Rat increases critical hit damage by 5% but both are just labeled as "Critical Hit +5%"

I'm not sure what you mean by that example. Both the Stiletto and the Reinforced Layer of the Rat are increasing the "Critical Hit" value and not "Critical damage" value on the character sheet.

I applied Layer of the Rat to one of my unit's armor and it increased the damage, not the rate

That's very odd.

Very weird, any screenshot?
