Critical Strike

Required level 1PassiveClassic

What it does

passive - your attacks have a chance to do double damage.

How Critical Strike works, in depthThe Amazon's passive double-damage chance. 16% at level 1, 68% at level 20 and never above 80%, on a diminishing curve; what it doubles (physical attack damage, and the converted damage of the elemental arrows), what it never applies to, and how it combines with Deadly Strike.
