[[Martial Artist]]s and Tsarevna [[Alena]] have rate depends on their level, being calculated as ''Level/256''. The cap is level 64, with a rate of 25%.
[[Martial Artist]]s have their rates based on their level, calculated as level/256 for a cap of 25% at level 64. All other characters have a 1/64 chance to land a critical hit.


In the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] versions of {{IV}}, [[Alena]]'s critical hit rate was tweaked to  ''(Level x 0.75)/256''. In the [[Nintendo DS]] version, the effect stops at level 64 still, making her critical rate cap at 18.75%; however, the [[Cell phone]] version raises the cap to level 89, granting her a rate of 26.07% - provided, of course, the player is willing to raise her that high.

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%.

Tsarevna [[Alena]]'s rate is based on the Martial Artists of ''Dragon Quest III'', calculated as Level/256. The cap is level 64, with a rate of 25%.
 
In the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] versions of ''Dragon Quest IV'', [[Alena]]'s critical hit rate was tweaked to  ''(Level x 0.75)/256''. In the [[Nintendo DS]] version, the effect still stops at level 64, making her critical rate cap at 18.75%; however, the [[Cell phone]] version raises the cap to level 89, granting her a rate of 26.07% - provided, of course, the player is willing to raise her that high.

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.
