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 <code>base damage &times; (3 + Crit. Power / 50) &times; (1 + Crit. Power Bonus)</code> multiplied again by 2 with the [[Skills#Combat|Desperado]] Profession.
 
Crit. Power itself can be found on:
* [[Weapons]]
* [[Forge#Combat enchantments|Jade enchantments]]: +5 Crit. Power per enchantment
 
Crit. Power Bonus is increased by:
* [[Jade Ring]]: +10% per ring
* [[Forge#Innate enchantments|Innate enchantments]]: +50% 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 150%.
 
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: <code>60 &times; (3 + 25 / 50) = 210</code> 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 <code>60 &times; (3 + 40 / 50) = 228</code>.
* With 2 Jade Rings and a +75 Crit. Power innate enchantment, Crit. Power Bonus would equal <code>10% (Jade Ring) x 2 + 150% (Innate enchantment) = 170%</code>. The total damage would become <code>228 &times; (100% + 170%) = 615.6</code>.
* With Desperado, this becomes <code>615.6 &times; 2 = 1231.2</code>.
