How to inflict x3 Critical Hit?

[HoorayForLessRice]

Need to do this for one of the medals.

Stagger the enemy, slap Good Luck and Brave on Lance, Unload and pray. (Unload specifically because there's still an element of chance here so six hits at increased critical rate helps smooth that out)

I have yet to test whether or not stacking Stagger stacks the 100% crit chance it bestows twice, or even triple on its own. When the stagger condition is triggered by any degree of damage, no matter how minor it gets a little fiddly

Stagger is easy. Lance's black AoE bomb can stagger. Good luck/bad luck you can get from firecrackers, a holiday skill. Enchant and invisible you can get from weapons or summons. Brave can come from a buncha sources like armor, flairs or skills.

You don't need everything, just a few.

Enchant and invisible don't count. And as I mentioned, Lance is better off being the one to deliver the crit, because he has a skill with high crit chance that also hits six times. And it's keyed off his worse offensive stat to boot.

Also, for Stagger it's easier to use Anna's lumber attack as it has +150% probablility to put stagger on opponent and no cooldown.

I've been playing a new game with V2 and have been avoiding most of the tips and hints figuring I'd get missed stuff on a Plus game. I wondered how to get this, and intentionally didn't read this thread.

I got the 3X Critical medal purely by accident and without any status effects.

I caught the Prototype in the Arena, then later on I summoned it and it scored a 3X Critical on a trivial foe!

So there's an easy way if anyone wants to avoid mucking about with complex status combinations and still get the achievement.

The Prototype 9X summon has 210% crit rate, so using it on an enemy that's Staggered brings you to 310%, which is guaranteed 3x crits.

Otherwise, your best chance is having Lance with Brave and Good Luck use Unload against an enemy with Stagger and Bad Luck, which gives you a 30% chance of scoring a 3x crit with each hit (230% crit chance).

Thanks, Balsion, for clarifying that I must have had a foe staggered and not noticed! Probably earthquake weather or something.

I sometimes miss things like that since I play casually and am often multi-tasking, like playing while some art project is rendering and that sort of thing

Well, you don't NEED to, since it's 210% crit rate, even without Stagger you have a 10% chance of scoring a 3x crit so you can get it with some luck, it's just that with Stagger pushing it to 310% it's guaranteed instead.

I got it with Good luck and brave on Lance, Stagger and Bad Luck on something, then used snipe.

As I mentioned a year and a half ago when this thread was actually made, Unload is superior for giving you six chances instead of one.

Necro but wanted to thank you for this tip, worked the best of all.

A book in the library says the following: "If an attack's chance of scoring a critical hit is over 100% (or 200%), then there is a chance of a double (or triple) critical hit. Each level of critical hit adds 50% more damage, up to a total of 150% extra damage. The good luck and brave status effects will help a target to deal critical hits, while the bad luck and stagger status effects will make a target vulnerable to them. These status effects stack nicely."
