There are many ways in the game to increase the damage of both individual characters and the entire squad as a whole. One of the most important and effective methods for all major and minor damage dealers is to increase the chance and power of crit. They are two interrelated characteristics and are responsible for increasing the damage of each attack with a certain chance. And the main way to reliably find out how well a hero is built is to recalculate the crits in his artifacts.
This article provides a detailed guide to crit chance and crit damage in Genshin impact: formula for calculation, optimal ratio, all ways to improve performance.
What is crit damage and crit chance in Genshin Impact (how they work)
These indicators are closely correlated with each other, while each of them plays its own role:
- Critical Hit Chance measures how often a character will be able to inflict a crit. blows. A higher percentage means a higher chance that attacks will go critical.
- Critical Damage determines how much additional damage the hero will deal when a critical hit is triggered. A higher percentage means more bonus damage.
Where to look
To see the current value of the chance and crit power, you need to go to the character menu and on the right, under all characteristics, click on the tab "More". In the opened section "Minor Characteristics" are the actual indicators of the chance of crit. hits and crits. damage. However, it should be borne in mind that these numbers include innate characteristics and third-party buffs, and only stats from artifacts are taken into account to calculate the critical mass.
How to Calculate Crit Damage and Crit Chance in Genshin Impact
Crit Damage и crit chance are interrelated characteristics, therefore, for a better understanding and convenience of calculation, the conditional term was introduced by the players - crit mass, which allows you to find the most favorable values for a particular build. So a build with a crit mass of 180 is considered acceptable, and a build with 210 or more is considered good. To calculate the critical mass, you need to select the "Artifacts" tab in the character's menu, and then click on "Artifact Description". It is from these values that you need to make calculations.
The formula for calculating the ratio of critical damage and crit chance
The formula for calculating crit mass (km) simple enough: you need a value crit chance multiply by two and add to the value crit damage.
KM (crit mass) = 2*KSh (crit chance) + KU (crit damage)
What is the optimal crit ratio?
By itself, crit mass is not at all an ideal indicator of crits. In this case, the ratio of crit chance to crit damage is also equally important.
Option 1:2
Ratio 1*crit chance к 2*crit power is the most basic in the early to mid stages of a build. For example, if the crit chance of a character is 50%, crit damage must be at least 100%. High crit damage with a low crit chance will make the build extremely unstable, which often leads to a decrease in dps, since there is a good chance that all crits can fall on weaker attacks. On the other hand, high KS with low crit power is initially a weak option.
It is also important that the maximum value of the crit chance as the main indicator of the headgear is 31,1%, and the crit damage is 62.2%, Thus, 1: 2 ratio is the most optimal for stable damage.
Option 1:3 and above
When Crete. chance is 60% or more, in some cases it makes sense to collect more crit. damage This option is less stable than the 1:2 build, but will work well in teams with a crit buff. chance, in a fight with heroes with one big hit or if you want to see the highest damage numbers.
Which characters need to respect the crit ratio
At the moment, there is no dd or sub dd in the game, whose damage does not depend on crits (except for Kokomi) and for all it is necessary to adhere to the correct ratio. An exception can only be called assemblies for permanent freezing, through a set Lost in a Blizzard (Ayaka, Ganyu). In such builds, characters are purposefully collected only crit damage. But this does not mean at all that in this case the balance does not matter. It is important to consider that the heroes get enough crit chance from set effects и cryo resonance when activating bonuses, most often during a battle.
As for the supports, they either do too little damage to fully collect crits (Dione, Qi qi), or do not depend so much on them (Kazuha, Sucrose). Often a support hero is collected only by crit chance under a weapon Favonia rulers (Jean, Yun Jin, Thoma).

Max Crit Damage and Crit Chance in Genshin Impact
In Genshin Impact, max crit damage and crit chance is just how much the player can muster. Great results can be achieved with:
- Successful stat rolls in artifacts.
- The presence of weapons with good crit rates and characters with the main stat in the form of this indicator.
- Getting buffs from food, dungeons and elemental resonances.
If you take into account all these factors, you can get incredible numbers that can reach up to 400% CG and above. For example, the famous min-maxer Tony To was able to achieve 495% critical damage.
At the same time, in the case of a crit chance, you can set a logical limit in 100% - above this value, this characteristic no longer has any effect on the gameplay.
