Critical Hit calculation

JackBauer

Even as a senior player I can't answer this, can somebody please make an example for me how to calculate the chance of a critical hit ?

What is the base chance that a critical hit can happen ?
How does luck add/multiply with it ?
How does Daryl "extra 8% chance for critical hit" add/multiply with it ?
How does Accurate add/multiply with it ?
and optional how does sure shot add/multiply with it.

Thanks,
JB

Base chance epic warrior seems to be around 30% (19/64). (No luck, body shot or other multipliers)

As shteevie has said, a survivor has an innate chance of a critical hit, based on the level difference between your survivor and the Walker you are attacking.

You will notice that you still get body shots against walkers 10+ levels below your survivor, but it doesn't show as a "body shot" since half your regular damage is still enough power to kill the Walker.

But, when the Walker is 4 or more levels above the survivor the "innate probablility" of a critical chance is something like -100%, which makes the chance of a critical shot impossible. I can't point out enough times how stupid NG is for making a probability less than 0. It makes their other math errors way more understandable.

I do not know if when the new Piercing trait activates, if that opens up the possibility of a critical attack. Piercing is supposed to work on every level of Walker.

As for the actual answer to your question, I've done some tracking and research, but I'm giving up on analyzing it since it's from a while back, and who the fuck really knows since they change shit all the time.

Thank you, your answer is highly appreciated.
Unfortunately it took away my last hope that this game has any strategic game play aspects left.

they change shit all the time and they don't even measure the consequences. and that is what's so tragic about the whole situation. they clearly have a very determined commercial team pushing for more ways to cash the cows and that is their whole focus.

@jota , i think they do keep track of consequences and have found that those inclined to spend or new to game keep spending no matter what they do. It doesn't matter what those who feel ripped off or dissatisfied feel or do, as they're in the minority and are considered near the end of their life time value.

@jota @DIblis
Please keep it constructive and on topic.

I got a constructive question...

I have a level 21 survivor that has a damage output of around 4200, and when she crits vs a level 21 walker, she only does about 5500 damage? Shouldn't she be doing around 6500?

What's up with that?
