Crit. Power (short for Critical Power) is a Combat statistic. When you hit a critical strike, this stat will deal additional damage to your enemy.

A critical strike does additional damage to an enemy. A special sound plays when hitting a critical strike, and the damage numbers that pop up show the greater damage amount. Bonus damage done by critical strikes is equal to base damage × (3 + Crit. Power / 50) × (1 + Crit. Power Bonus) multiplied again by 2 with the Desperado Profession.

Crit. Power itself can be found on:

Crit. Power Bonus is increased by:

  • Jade Ring: +0.1 per ring
  • Innate enchantments: +0.5 per enchantment level. A Crit. Power Innate enchantment shows as +25 "Crit. Power" per level, so a "+75 Crit. Power" tooltip represents a level 3 enchantment and thus increases Crit. Power Bonus by 1.5.

Example:

  • A normal attack using the Lava Katana can do 55-64 damage. Assume an attack rolls 60 damage.
  • A Lava Katana has 25 Crit. Power, so on a critical strike: 60 × (3 + 25 / 50) = 210 damage will be dealt.
  • If the Lava Katana was forged with 3 Jades, Crit. Power would be increased by 15, for a total of 40 (though it shows up as +39 ingame due to rounding errors). This means the damage would instead be 60 × (3 + 40 / 50) = 228.
  • With 2 Jade Rings and a +75 Crit. Power innate enchantment, Crit. Power Bonus would equal 0.1 (Jade Ring) x 2 + 1.5 (Innate enchantment) = 1.7. The total damage would become 228 × (1 + 1.7) = 615.6.
  • With Desperado, this becomes 615.6 × 2 = 1231.2.
