Normal hit and Critical hit - what is the % damage difference?

[Braiven]

So how much more % does a critical hit do in MH world in compare to a normal hit? If it's different for each weapon, I mean the SnS in particular. Doing some math now between Alatreon and Fatalis SnS.

*should* be just 25% extra damage for a crit. That number is muddied by elemental damage, but you can get skills like 'Critical element' to make the elemental bit of the damage also get that 25% boost

[Pendergast891]

and the crit boost skill increases the bonus 25% to a bonus 40% extra damage

Fatalis SnS has 25% more raw damage than the Alatreon SnS but like 450 Dragon Elemental less. Basically none crits are doing crit damage with the Fatlis SnS, and because of that the negative crits are not that of an big deal actually, but the lack of elemental is really disturbing, especially for SnS. The two 4 slots are insane on the Fatalis SnS but sadly even after playing for 450+ hours since Iceorne I don't have any really good 4er gems. I mean 4er gems like attack boost +2, crit boost +2 or something.

In other words... I think the Fatalis SnS is trash, but I didn't test it so far. Don't take that as an statement for recommendation, I'm only theory crafting here as a normal mortal player.

Critical Hit without any skills: +25% damage bonus
Critical Hit with Critical Boost 1: +30% damage bonus
Critical Hit with Critical Boost 2: +35% damage bonus
Critical Hit with Critical Boost 3: +40% damage bonus

You can also hit a negative critical hit if your weapons Affinity (essentially Critical Hit Chance) is negative, such is the case with a lot of high raw weapons including Fatalis' ones. In this case you'll do receive -25% damage that you normally would...I do not believe the Critical Boost skill influences this in any way.

There's also Critical Status and Critical Element as well as their improved "True" versions concerning Elemental and Status weapons which do bonus Elemental or Status based damage on critical hits, but I have no clue how much or how effective they are since I never pay attention to Element and Status.
