A '''critical hit''' (Japanese: {{hover|必殺の一撃|Hissatsu no ichigeki}} ''critical hit''), often abbreviated as '''critical''' or '''crit''', is an uncommon and powerful type of attack inflicted at random, which deals more damage to a foe than usual. The ability to and chance of inflicting a critical hit is dictated by both a unit's stats and those of the weapons they wield, and in turn a unit's [[Luck|luck stat]] helps [[Dodge|lower their risk]] of falling victim to critical hits themselves.

The ability to and chance of inflicting a critical hit is dictated by both a unit's stats and those of the weapons they wield, and in turn a unit's [[Luck|luck stat]] helps [[Dodge|lower their risk]] of falling victim to critical hits themselves.


==Overview==
==Overview==
The concept of critical hits is widespread in role-playing games in general, both computer and tabletop, and is generally intended to simulate the random chance of a warrior's attack hitting a vital weak point on their enemy such as an organ. The {{FES}} use of critical hits is very much in line with this practice. Each unit has a '''critical hit rate''' which is calculated based on both their own [[skill (stat)|skill stat]] and the [[crit]] value on the weapon they presently wield, in addition to other game-dependent factors such as [[skills]] or [[support]] bonuses. In battles, this is subtracted from the opposing unit's [[dodge]] calculation, based on their [[luck]], in order to generate a percentage chance of successfully activating and dealing a critical hit.

Each unit has a [[critical rate]] which is calculated based on both their own [[skill (stat)|skill stat]] and the [[crit]] value on the weapon they presently wield, in addition to other game-dependent factors such as [[skills]] or [[support]] bonuses. In battles, this is subtracted from the opposing unit's [[dodge]] calculation, based on their [[luck]], in order to generate a percentage chance of successfully activating and dealing a critical hit.


Most games in the series feature a collection of classes and items which are intrinsically possessed of far higher critical hit chances than usual. Some classes, most prominently the [[Myrmidon]] class family, possess an in-built '''class bonus''' which awards a set increase to their critical hit rate at all times. While the crit stat on weapons is typically relatively low, some weapons feature a distinctly high crit stat and are specifically touted as giving their wielder a significant critical rate increase; the most prominent of these is the recurring "killer weapons" line, including the [[Killing Edge]], [[Killer Lance]], [[Killer Axe]] and [[Killer Bow]], all of which typically offer a high crit stat ranging between 20 and 30. Conversely, the player is occasionally offered ways to protect units from critical hits without relying on luck stats. Certain items and skills, such as the [[Hoplon Guard]] and [[Fortune]], completely block opposing units from ever executing critical hits.

From {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} onward, critical hits are infamously typically associated with distinct animations, actions and flourishes performed by each class to clearly demonstrate that the hit they are about to inflict is a critical hit; this effect previously existed solely for Marth and Alm in {{title|Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light}} and {{title|Gaiden}}. For units wielding physical weapons these typically involve spinning one's weapon (or, for bow users, their arrows) around at high speed, while magical units typically wave their hands more than usual or summon additional magical runes surrounding them as they cast the spell. Additionally, {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}} and {{title|Awakening}} will announce an impending critical hit with a bright flash and distinct noise. In the NES duology and Game Boy Advance trilogy, critical hits only have one animation, while in the Jugdral and Tellius duologies they have two: one for non-lethal critical hits, and one for lethal critical hits.

Additionally, in {{title|Radiant Dawn}} and, from {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}} onwards, impending critical hits will be announced with a bright flash and distinct noise. Depending on the game or class, there can be multiple animations for critical hits depending on whether they are lethal or when they are performed relative to other attacks.

These calculations are for the raw pre-battle critical rate of units, as typically expressed on a unit's status profile. In battle, the foe's [[dodge]] calculation is subtracted from the raw critical rate to produce their actual practical critical rate percentage. If an attack misses it cannot be a critical hit, this is because the game will not determine whether or not an attack is a critical hit unless it has already determined that the attack will hit.  Even if the [[critical rate]] is 100% you will not always land a critical hit, because when your attack misses the game will not check if it is a critical hit.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] ''Fire Emblem'' titles, {{FE1}} and {{FE2}}, the critical hit animation can play and miss. This does not occur in other games in the series, and is somewhat hard to notice in the NES titles, as only [[Marth]] and [[Alm]] actually have critical hit animations.
* In the [[Family Computer]] ''Fire Emblem'' titles, {{FE1}} and {{FE2}}, the critical hit animation can play and miss. This does not occur in other games in the series, and is somewhat hard to notice in the Famicom titles, as only [[Marth]] and [[Alm]] actually have critical hit animations.
* In {{FE4}}, critical hits on [[boss]]es that retreat rather than dying when defeated will play the non-lethal critical hit animation instead of the lethal animation when defeated by a critical hit.
*According to the director of {{title|Path of Radiance}}, Masayuki Horikawa, the class critical rate bonus was not included in the Japanese version of ''Path of Radiance'' because the classes which had such a bonus in previous games were already easy to use and strong.<ref>{{Cite web|quote={{lang|ja|これらの兵種は、使いやすかったり強かったりしていたので、今作は、必殺率上昇といった特典をなしにしています。}}|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gfej/qanda/page10.html|title={{lang|ja|蒼炎の軌跡Ｑ＆Ａ／質問と回答のページ １０}}|site=''Path of Radiance'' official website|retrieved=November 6, 2020|author=Masayuki Horikawa}}</ref>
