elemental trick?

[Mister Sir]

Am I misunderstanding this ability somehow? Dont it suppose to hit with ice, fire, lightning, and earth and also give you a corresponding stain on crit? If so, how the ♥♥♥♥ am I getting 1-2 stains per cast when my crit rate is 89%?

If you're not gaining Stains from it then it either didn't crit or the enemy is immune to one of its elements.

If you're sure the enemy isn't immune, then it's just bad luck on crit. Increase the crit chance to 100% and it will never fail.

89% is still not 100%

The ones I tried were immune to one element, so I expected 3 stains. Getting 1-2 per pop with 89% crit rate is some cosmic bs.

If you are only hitting 3 times with 89% crit, you have a 30% chance of getting only one or two stains. I don't find that too unreasonable

I have 100+% and unless an enemy is immune I reliable get those four stains. Maybe try to swap a pictos so you have a higher crit chance. As the others have said, 89% is absolutely not 100%. Each attack you make has an 11% chance not to give you a stain. You should, more often than not, get 3 or maybe even 4 stains, but do not be surprised if you also get other results.

Try to find the additional 11% crit chance somewhere.

It's hilarious how many people in all kind of games come to steam forums for sole reason - to show how they don't understand how probabilities work. 100% or out, that's it

XCOM players in shambles.

Shss dont talk about it too much, or devs will "fix" it just like stendhal. The best part is that the ones that keep exploiting that move to complete the game are the same who cry about devs not balancing it and that "breaks their experience" :) I bet these same hypocrites are also crying about fixing elemental trick + elemental genesis

It's not 89% to get 4 stains, it's 89% for each one

0.89×0.89×0.89×0.89 = 0.63

63% chance to get 4 stains with that attack.
