PSA for the metal slime farming.

Have erick Ooze bruiser instead of the Metal enemy attack, if both boomerangs hit, it does a whoping 4 points of damage. (helpful when you consider you can only do 1 damage period unless it's a double strike move) Also have hero use falcon slash while dual weilding for three hits.

? Yea multi-hit attacks are fine, but crit better if you can afford it. Ooze bruised in most cases worse ( probably always ) than twomerang, because they throw extra attacks. All those anti-metal skills are total garbage from my expirience, they also don't ensure 100% hit.

I dont have any gear explicitly to raise crit though lol
I'd much rather man mode my way through even with underperforming gear than rely on luck.

They do ensure a 100% hit but only on the first hit. It's like with all abilities, they only have their effect on the first hit. When dual wielding, the second hit is just a "regular" hit.

Is there a location for all the critical hit gear then?
I'm level 67/69 (Post the fake end credits ) with most characters but my gear is either underperforming or I'm not upgrading.

At that point it is a lot more feasible to use crit abilities to hunt metal enemies. Erik's Critical Claim is a guaranteed crit. Jade's Lightning Thrust crits with a 66% chance. Serena's Thunder Thrust and Hendrik's Hatchet Man crit with a 50% chance. The trick is to also use Rab's "Dirge of Dundrasil" pep power to get a high chance of putting the metal enemies to sleep. It's a 75% chance I think.

Erik has critical claim, which is 100% crit, spears have two 100% crit abilities very early in the game. Late game claws offer reliably often crits.

[Broso]

That's not quite accurate. The spear skills are guaranteed crits but not guaranteed hits whereas Erik's Critical Claim is both.

[OnlyOffensive]

yes that's what i meant. If they connect it's 100% crit, but their hit chance is not 100%, i think it's explained in skill description so there is no need for such explanations.

[zfan121]

What skills are those? I know lightning thrust has a high crit rate but it's like hatchet man and doesn't connect every use.

There is need, seeing how you explained it wrong.

Serena and Jade have Thunder Thrust and Jade also has another one to the top right which has a higher %.

[Broso]

Thunder Thrust - 50% hit chance (Jade, Serena)
Lightning Thrust - 66% hit chance (Jade)
Hatchet Man - 50% hit chance (Hendrik)
Critical Claim - 100% hit chance (Erik)
