Crit. Power

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 in itself 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).

Example:

• A normal attack using the Dark Sword can do 10-30 damage.
• Assuming a normal attack has a base damage value of 18 on a bat with a defense value of 1 would result in 17 damage.
• As the dark sword has 25 crit power, this would result in 18×(3+25/50) bonus damage which would make the final damage 18×(3+25/50)=63 damage.
• The Desperado Profession would further increase this damage by 2x to 126 in Stardew Valley 1.5 (used to be 3x in Stardew Valley 1.4).
