How do "Additional Strike" works?

[Aofneto]

I'm using this "Crown of the Wicked" that have this "+1 Additional Strike" but I just don't understand how it works. I mean, I'm not hitting twice as I was assuming...

correct me if i am wrong but i think it means:
If you have a weapon that has a % chance of multi hit (crossbows, throwing-knifes, etc), you will get 1 additional hit for that.
For example: If you have 20% chance of multihit, you will deal 2 times damage (not includet critical strikes) with every fifths shot, means 2x damage + 1 additional strike = 3x dmg. those hits have a chance to deal critical damage aswell (scaling with critical strike chance and critical strike dmg).

sounds about right Levi

Also, there's gear that give you more hits. You're not limited to 1 additional strike. If you have 2 items with +1 Additional Strike, you get 3 hits when you succeed the % chance.

I think +2 to your additional strikes means that a multi-strike is 4 hits.

Nope. It's not two double hits, as in, two multi-strikes of two hits each. It's one multi-strike with 2 additional hits. That means one base hit + 2 additional hits = total 3 hits.

"Additional Strike is a weapon and armor buff that grants an additional attack when Multi Strike is triggered."

[Robodiabetic]

a regular attack = 1 hit
a multistrike with +0 to additional strike = 2 hits
a multistrike with +1 to additional strike = 3 hits
a multistrike with +2 to additional strike = 4 hits

And what item gives multi-strike chance but no additional strikes?

Also the combo swing skill

[animalmagic]

and also some of those multi strikes can be critical hits, so you could strike 4 critical hits simulataneously

[Zormac]

Just tested it, and that's true. Having a single +1 additional strikes results in 3 hits, +2 is 4, etc. Some of the numbers were covering the other damage so I couldn't tell there was an extra hit there. My bad.

Regarding the crits and multi strikes, it seems like each hit has a separate chance of being a crit.

ranger with titanium crossbow, all the multi strike and additional strikes armor, multi strike ring, crit cape then topped off with ranged damage flask

[Robodiabetic]

I think you're right. I'm pretty sure the crits are all handled seperately,

I think the Hyperion Longbow can do 12 hits with a single shot if ALL 3 of the arrows it shoots get a multistrike triggered AND you're wearing Shining Ring of Battle and Assassin's Hood (+2 additional strikes)
It automatically hits with 3 arrows, if they all get a multistrike, that's three more hits, then your armor/jewelry adds 2 hits for every arrow. That's six more.
I tried to record the damage numbers popping up in slow motion, and I swear that it will sometimes hit 3 times (no multistrike), 6 times (one multistrike), 9 times (two multistrikes), and very rarely 12 times (all 3 arrows getting a multistrike).
If you want to try and test it yourself, you need Hyperion Longbow, Assassin's Hood, and the Shining Ring of Battle
