In Critical Hit FOnline3 have a few terms like:
+
A '''critical hit''' ('''crit''') is a much more powerful version of a regular hit, with a potential to apply status effects to the target.  
* [[Critical Roll]]
 
* [[Critical Power]]
 
* [[Critical Chance]]
 
* [[Aimed Attack]]
 
* [[Critical Chance Resistance]]
 
* [[Critical Roll Resistance]]
 
* [[Critical Power Resistance]]
 
* [[Critical Effect]]
 
* [[Critical Damage]]
 
* [[Critical Table]]
 
* [[Aggressive Implant]]
 
* [[Critical Tier]]
 
==Critical Power and Critical Roll==
 
Difference between Critical Power and Roll is very simple, the Critical Power is % multiplier of Critical Roll, which is our base of Critical Hit. <br>
 
  
Critical Roll sources:
+
Critical hits are governed by several closely related values: the chance to trigger one ("critical chance"), a base roll ("critical roll") and its multiplier ("critical power"), each with a separate resistance, and a cooldown-like limiter ("critical rate"). They have multiple tiers ("critical tiers") based on the final value of the critical roll that use predefined values ("critical tables") to determine the final amount of bonus damage ("critical damage") and special effects ("critical effects") that will amplify the force of the critical hit.
* Critical Roll cap is 750
 
* Base [[Class Perks|Class Perk]] Critical Roll if non-class is 0-5
 
* -2 per [[Hit Points||HP]] (Only if you have more than 150 [[Hit Points]])
 
* [[War Event]] Stat: 30
 
* 2 per [[Luck]]
 
* [[Random Boy]] Roll: -30 or 80
 
* [[Cyborg]] 2 per [[Luck]]
 
* [[Cyborg]] 8 per [[Charisma]] when 3 [[Aggressive Implant]]
 
* [[Slayer]] synergy: 40
 
* [[Voodoo]]: 20 (40 for [[Regulator]])
 
* [[Weapon perks|More Critical Power (weapon perk)]]: 40
 
* [[Combat Master]] 2 per [[Strength]]
 
* [[Combat Master]] 10 per [[Fury]]
 
* [[Bounty Hunter]] 2 per own [[Critical Chance]]
 
* [[Bounty Hunter]] 2 per target [[Critical Chance]]
 
* [[Bounty Hunter]] 1 per 10 [[Sight Range]]
 
* [[Soldier]]: 1
 
* [[Sniper]] 2 per distance from target(doubled if Long Range)
 
* [[Sniper]] PvE: 20
 
* [[Sniper]] favorite weapon: 50
 
<br>
 
  
Critical Power sources:
+
=== Critical chance ===
*100% as base
+
Critical chance is the probability that a successful hit is upgraded to a critical hit. It is capped at 100%.
* [[War Event]] stat: +40%
 
* [[War Event]] target defensive stat: -15%
 
* Mastery of [[Perception]]: +40%
 
* [[Heavy Handed]]: -20%
 
* [[Better Criticals]]: 50%
 
* [[Better HtH Criticals]]: 75%
 
* [[Silent Death]] effect: 33%
 
<br>
 
  
Final Critical Roll will be a random number from 1 to <code>((Base class critical roll + Critical Roll - Critical Roll Resistance) * (Critical Power - Critical Power Resistance))</code>, so even if you have all possible modifiers, you can still randomly roll a 1.
+
Various modifiers can affect critical chance:

In FOnline 3 we have 5 different critical resistances:
+
| Critical chance modifiers 
*Armor Critical Chance Resistance
+
|-
*Armor Critical Power Resistance
+
|
*Critical Chance Resistance
+
*[[Armor#Body_armor|Body armor]] and [[Armor#Headgear|helmets]] modify attackers' critical hit chance. The higher their tier, the better the protection they offer.
*Critical Power Resistance
+
*[[Drugs#PID_GUM|After Burner Gum]] (drug) grants +10% critical chance, but reduces Luck by 5
*Critical Roll Resistance
+
*[[Rad-X]] (drug) reduces your critical chance by 5%
Let's start with Armor Critical Chance Resistance and Critical Chance Resistance, both working same way and stacks with each other but there is one difference between them: way how to bypass it! Armor or Helmet Critical Chance Resistance can be bypassed by [[Armor Perks|Hit The Gaps]] 80% for armor and [[Armor Perks|Right Between The Eyes]] 90% for helmet. For Other Critical Chance Resistance can be bypassed by [[Plasma]] Damage or in case [[Armor Perks]] can be bypassed by [[Bounty Hunter]]

 +
=== Critical rate ===
 +
Critical rate is the frequency with which you can land fully effective critical hits.
  
[[Aggressive Implant]] Decrease sums of armor and other Critical Chance Resistance by 15% for each implant
+
By default, if you score more than one critical hit within a 2-second (2000ms) window, those additional critical hits' critical rolls are performed at a penalty of -0.1 for each millisecond remaining in that window.
  
 +
Alternatively, you can think of it as a penalty that starts at -200 and then decays by 0.1 every millisecond until it completely goes away 2 seconds (2000ms) later.
  
Now Critical Power Resistance and Armor Critical Power Resistance, same as chance only difference is how to bypass it,  Armor Critical Power Resistance can be bypassed only by [[Slayer]] Synergy 80%
+
Whenever you see a perk that improves/reduces "critical rate" by some number of milliseconds, the thing actually being modified is the minimum period of time that must elapse between two "fully charged" criticals.
  
Critical Power Resistances working in simple way it just decrease % of opponent Critical Power Example: opponent have 60% extra Critical Power, you have 25% resistance, 60 - 25 = 35 <br>
+
Modifiers that affect critical rate:
Sources of Critical Power Resistance:
 
*[[Mastery]] of [[Strength]]: 20%
 
*[[Deathclaw Perk|Deathclaw]]: 10%+ [[AP|AP for movement]]
 
*[[Bonehead]]: 35% (bypassed by Plasma Damage)
 
*[[Cyborg]] 1% per [[Charisma]] when 3x [[Dermal Impact Armor]] (bypassed by Plasma Damage)
 
*[[Man of Steel]]: 35% (bypassed by Plasma Damage)
 
*[[Iron Man]] Synergy: 25% (bypassed by Plasma Damage)
 
  
 +
*[[Marksman]] (perk synergy) improves your critical rate by 200ms
 +
*[[Ranger]] (perk synergy) improves your critical rate by 200ms
 +
*[[Slayer]] (perk synergy) improves your critical rate by 500ms
 +
*[[Combat Focus]] (armor perk) can improve your critical rate by up to 200ms (or 500ms for Hubologists)
 +
*[[Suppression]] (armor perk) modifies your attackers' critical rate by anywhere from -100ms to +1000ms (or +200ms to +3000ms for Hubologists)
  
Last Critical Defense is Critical Roll Resistance, it just decrease opponent Critical Roll before apply Critical Power <br>
+
=== Critical roll ===
Sources of Critical Roll Resistance:
+
Whenever you score a crit, the game generates a value called the critical roll (capped at 750). Your base critical roll depends on your class.
*[[Armor Perks|Heavy]]: 15 (bypassed by Bounty Hunter)
+
 
*[[Armor Perks|Anty-Crit]]: 60 vs NPC(bypassed by Bounty Hunter)

== Critical Effect ==
+
=== Critical power ===
In FO3 we have 10 different Critical Effects which can be applied when your total [[Critical Roll]] reach a [[Critical Tier]] which unlocks that effect, for example: we reach tier 3 critical in eyes so we have chance to apply Slow, Knockdown or confusion, all effect can applied together. <br>
+
After the critical roll is calculated, the value is multiplied by the attacker's critical power. Base critical power is always 100%.
Chance to apply Critical Effect is 33% it can be increased by:
 
*[[Finesse]] 33%
 
*[[Alien Perk|Alien]] Set to 100%
 
Critical Effects and possible defensives:
 
*'''[[Slow]]''': Decrease target's [[Movement Speed]] and [[Attack Speed|Attack Delay]] with 20% power per critical tier for 20 sec. [[Cyborg]]s apply 40% power for 60 sec per critical tier.
 
*'''[[Knockdown]]''': -3 [[Action Points]] for target, if target have [[Quick Recovery]] it reduce to 1, if target's have [[Stonewall]] can resist knockdown 8% per [[Strength]].
 
*'''[[AP Drain]]''': 2-4 [[Action Points]] are taken from target to attacker.
 
*'''[[Weapon Drop]]''': Drops target's weapon, [[Iron Limbs]] gives immune for it.
 
*'''[[Death Effect]]''': Extra 100 damage which bypass any defense.
 
*'''[[Knockout]]''': -10 to 30 [[Action Points]] for target, amount of [[AP]] decrease target's [[Agility]] and /3 if [[Quick Recovery]], Knockout can be resist by [[Stonewall]] 7% per [[Endurance]].
 
*'''[[Bypass]]''': Reduce half of target's DR and all DT.
 
*'''[[Weapon Destroy]]''': Decrease target's weapon [[Deterioration]] by 1-25%.
 
*'''[[Confusion]]''': Decrease target's [[Sight]] Range by 2 hexes .
 
*'''[[Cripple]]''': Broken leg, hand or eye, can be immune by [[Iron Limbs]].
 
*'''[[Taunt]]''': All enemies of the target are set to 'Immune,' except for the source that triggered the Taunt effect.
 
*'''[[Shock]]''': Target cannot attack or use medications.
 
*'''[[Bewilderment]]''': Double all [[AP]] costs of the target.
 
*'''[[Mark]]''': The target is always visible to the team that marked them.
 
*'''[[Lost Turn]]''': The target loses [[AP]] equal to their maximum [[AP]].
 
  
== Critical Table and Critical Tier ==
+
There are several mechanics that interact with your critical power:
Random from 1 to <code>((Base class critical roll + Critical Roll - Critical Roll Resistance) * (Critical Power - Critical Power Resistance))</code> gives us a number which we can fit with table below but if we have [[Critical Tier]] up just look on next tier

=== Critical resistances ===
 +
Defenders can mitigate critical hits through three types of resistance:
  
 +
*Critical chance resistance, which reduces the attacker's capped critical chance
 +
*Critical roll resistance, which reduces the attacker's critical roll before multiplication
 +
*Critical power resistance, which reduces the attacker's critical power
  
 +
Various modifiers can affect these resistances:

=== Critical tables ===
 +
<code>The Final Critical Roll Value</code> used to look up the outcome on the critical table is a random value between 1 and <code>(Total Critical Roll - Critical Roll Resistance) x (Total Critical Power - Critical Power Resistance)</code>.
 +
 
 +
The cell of the critical table your critical hit gets placed in will always lie at the intersection of your weapon type (melee, 1‑handed ranged, 2‑handed ranged), the body part you critically hit (eyes, head, groin, hands, legs, torso), and the final value of your crit roll.

Latest revision as of 02:03, 13 April 2026

A critical hit (crit) is a much more powerful version of a regular hit, with a potential to apply status effects to the target.

Critical hits are governed by several closely related values: the chance to trigger one ("critical chance"), a base roll ("critical roll") and its multiplier ("critical power"), each with a separate resistance, and a cooldown-like limiter ("critical rate"). They have multiple tiers ("critical tiers") based on the final value of the critical roll that use predefined values ("critical tables") to determine the final amount of bonus damage ("critical damage") and special effects ("critical effects") that will amplify the force of the critical hit.

Critical chance

Critical chance is the probability that a successful hit is upgraded to a critical hit. It is capped at 100%.

Various modifiers can affect critical chance:

Critical rate

Critical rate is the frequency with which you can land fully effective critical hits.

By default, if you score more than one critical hit within a 2-second (2000ms) window, those additional critical hits' critical rolls are performed at a penalty of -0.1 for each millisecond remaining in that window.

Alternatively, you can think of it as a penalty that starts at -200 and then decays by 0.1 every millisecond until it completely goes away 2 seconds (2000ms) later.

Whenever you see a perk that improves/reduces "critical rate" by some number of milliseconds, the thing actually being modified is the minimum period of time that must elapse between two "fully charged" criticals.

Modifiers that affect critical rate:

  • Marksman (perk synergy) improves your critical rate by 200ms
  • Ranger (perk synergy) improves your critical rate by 200ms
  • Slayer (perk synergy) improves your critical rate by 500ms
  • Combat Focus (armor perk) can improve your critical rate by up to 200ms (or 500ms for Hubologists)
  • Suppression (armor perk) modifies your attackers' critical rate by anywhere from -100ms to +1000ms (or +200ms to +3000ms for Hubologists)

Critical roll

Whenever you score a crit, the game generates a value called the critical roll (capped at 750). Your base critical roll depends on your class.

  • Plasma Converter (Alien weapon perk, rank A) grants +50% critical power
  • Robobrain gets +25% critical power

Critical resistances

Defenders can mitigate critical hits through three types of resistance:

  • Critical chance resistance, which reduces the attacker's capped critical chance
  • Critical roll resistance, which reduces the attacker's critical roll before multiplication
  • Critical power resistance, which reduces the attacker's critical power

Various modifiers can affect these resistances:

Critical resistance modifiers 
  • Cigarettes (drug) grant +5 critical chance resistance

  • HR (T1 WE stat) grants +8% critical power resistance
  • CR (T1 WE stat) grants +5% critical chance resistance

Critical tables

The Final Critical Roll Value used to look up the outcome on the critical table is a random value between 1 and (Total Critical Roll - Critical Roll Resistance) x (Total Critical Power - Critical Power Resistance).

The cell of the critical table your critical hit gets placed in will always lie at the intersection of your weapon type (melee, 1‑handed ranged, 2‑handed ranged), the body part you critically hit (eyes, head, groin, hands, legs, torso), and the final value of your crit roll.
