	Critical hits now involve the [[Luck]] stat instead of being fixed to a 1/64 chance or being based on the Martial Artists' levels. The Luck stat is measured against a level's hidden benchmark and then multiplied by the vocation's innate crit rate. For example, a Gadabout with 999 Luck at level 90 is calculated as ''6 X (999-310) '', resulting in a critical hit chance of 19.33%.

	~~The~~ [[Zam]] line of spells ~~have~~ a ~~four-times higher chance~~ to critical ~~than other spells~~. The chance of a critical spell can also be boosted with certain pieces of equipment, most of which are restricted to {{Veronica 11}} and [[Rab]]. Additionally, all three of the main spellcasters in the party ({{Veronica 11}}, {{Serena 11}}, and [[Rab]]) will receive boosts to their critical spell chance when they are pepped up.		By default, spells have a critical chance equal to half of that of a normal attack, but the [[Zam]] line instead uses twice the normal critical chance, or four times that of other spells. When a spell goes critical, it deals between 1.5x and 2x the normal damage (Zam line spells deal 2x to 2.5x damage instead); healing spells heal 1.2x to 1.6x the normal amount. [[Magic Burst]], [[Fullheal]] and [[Omniheal]] can go critical, but the critical has no effect on the spell itself. The chance of a critical spell can also be boosted with certain pieces of equipment, most of which are restricted to {{Veronica 11}} and [[Rab]]. Additionally, all three of the main spellcasters in the party ({{Veronica 11}}, {{Serena 11}}, and [[Rab]]) will receive boosts to their critical spell chance when they are pepped up.

	Every time any character makes an attack, they have a small chance of that attack being a "Critical Hit," (会心の一撃, ''Kaishin no ichigeki'', lit. "satisfying blow/hit") which drastically increases the damage dealt on that particular turn. Since critical hits ignore defence, it makes them an instant kill on all [[metal monsters]], provided the monster does not dodge the critical hit. Weapons that strike multiple times, such as the [[Falcon ~~Knife Earrings~~]], can strike critically, but weapons that strike multiple targets cannot (Flails, {{Whip}}s, {{Boomerang}}s).

	For ''IX'', the algorithm is ''Deftness/100 + 3% (with weapon skill trait boost)''.

	Every time any character makes an attack, they have a small chance of that attack being a "Critical Hit," (会心の一撃, ''Kaishin no ichigeki'', lit. "satisfying blow/hit~~" or "blow to the heart~~") which drastically increases the damage dealt on that particular turn. Since critical hits ignore defence, it makes them an instant kill on all [[metal monsters]], provided the monster does not dodge the critical hit. Weapons that strike multiple times, such as the [[Falcon Knife Earrings]], can strike critically, but weapons that strike multiple targets cannot (Flails, {{Whip}}s, {{Boomerang}}s).

	However, many monsters also can get critical hits, usually termed a ''terrific blow'', ''brutal hit'', or ''desperate attack'' (痛恨の一撃, ''tsūkon no ichigeki''). For monsters, there are different variations of critical hits: the first of which simply ignores the target's defence, much like the critical hits landed by playable characters. The second variation lands an attack that simply deals 250% the amount of their normal attack. Some monsters and bosses also have a variation which deals a fixed amount of damage, as well.
