actually, there is still much speculation regarding the nature of critical hits. first of all, it depends on the weapon TYPE. many people find they receive ENORMOUS critical hits from certain weapons (i believe longblades?), while other weapons receive multiple SMALL critical hits (short blades? and maybe whips?)

the difference i'm suggesting:

if you do a "super" 700 dmg critical hit w/ a long blade, you would do 2 or possibly 3 critical hits at 250-300 dmg with the short blade weapon. just as an example, no true math involved there, i havent done it at this point


the more speculative part about critical hits involves stats. obviously dexterity is involved, because you need to actually hit your enemy for your critical to land. now, i have no idea if criticals are random, so if you look at the # of your hits, i dont know if the criticals apply to that #, or do the hits you actually land (like if your critical randoms at attack #43, and you miss on that attack, so no critical. i am not sure)

also, it is a possibility that accuracy increases the frequency of critical hits, and strength increases the potency of those criticals. this, however, is a speculation if i am not mistaken.

i do know that if you increase the base stats of whatever weapon you are wielding (if your weapon requires strength and dex, increase those more) then your criticals and overall damage will increase more than it would otherwise
