Can hero spells crit?

[DarknessOrLight]

Can something like frostfire detonation, ice evocation etc crit? I don't think I've ever seen it happen even after increasing crit chance on my hero, but maybe I just missed it.

Magic spells of any kind cannot crit, I believe.

Yea, no crits on spells. The closest thing to a crit you will get is the specific spells that do more dmg when certain conditions are met. Like how some fire spells do more dmg to burning enemies. There is one chaos spell that does more dmg based off the amount of allied low tier units. There are more like this, but that's the closest thing to a crit that happens.

Does this include hero magic attacks, such as Lightning Evocation? Can that crit??

[Pantagruel]

Spells can crit, the prior posts are wrong (at least, for the game as it currently exists). They do not, however, generally benefit from crit bonuses from weapons, so they are less likely to crit.

yeah, spells and magic basic attacks can crit.

I havent noticed a spell critting so far. How are they supposed to get a crit chance?

But its important to note that OP didnt ask about spells, he only mentioned magic damage abilities. Which can crit.

Whats the base crit chance to crit for Tome spells? Does it also apply to aoe spells like Lava Burst?

Pretty sure its 0 %. The only way to increase spell damage shoulb be with abilities like from a wizardking.

The original question was about hero abilities (though it also applies to things like breath weapons, battle mage special abilities, and so on). Spells cast through the spellcasting menu don't have a crit chance.

Then please dont use the word spells for magic abilities of units. Spells are the things that cost mana. Not unit abilities.

The title of this thread is "can hero spells crit".

[TirAsleen]

Op means hero class skills and certainly not spells, spells cost mana or souls.

[Astronimo]

Whatever the HERO does - it CAN crit.
Your SPELLs (that in your empire's spell book) can NOT crit.

Yes, op used wrong terminology. No need for you to do the same.
