We'll explore the relationship between
Dodge and
Critical hit chancestats and their impact on primary stats. These two unique stats only apply to physical damage and can either enhance or negate it.
Crit is an offensive stat that increases the likelihood of dealing double physical damage with each strike. Meanwhile,
Dodge offers a defensive advantage, allowing guardians to avoid incoming attacks altogether - both are essential for any guardian looking to improve their combat effectiveness!
Conversely, dodge is a defensive tool: it allows guardians to avoid incoming physical damage altogether. As opposed to Armor and Magic defense, both stats calculate the chances similarly using the following formula: There are two variables in this formula. The number "a" indicates a hero's Dodge or Critical hit chances, and "b" indicates the opponent's main hero stats.
To demonstrate the formula, let's review a few battles. To keep it brief, we'll only focus on Critical hit chance for now, but remember that Dodge chance works similarly. For our first example, Daredevil has 6000 points of Critical hit chance and is facing Astaroth with 6000 points of Strength. This means her likelihood of landing a critical hit against him is 50%. Similarly to Armor and Magic defense, Crit and Dodge don't guarantee dodged attacks or critical hits as their effectiveness decreases with higher stats.
Let's look at the second variable, the opponent's primary hero stat, to see how it affects the chances of Dare Devil getting a critical hit. By increasing Astaroth's Strength to 9000 and keeping Daredevil's Crit points at 6000, Daredevil's critical hit chance will decrease to 40%. Adding 3000 more Crit points will only increase the probability by 10%, up to 60.
As seen, the formula is designed so that the Dodge and Critical hit chance of guardians are balanced by the primary hero stat of their opponent. Boost your guardians' Dodge or Crit to improve your circumstances, or upgrade your team's main heroes' stats to reduce the probability of hostile critical strikes and dodges.
