Type(s) Class Capacity 0 Game(s) Radiant Dawn Awakening Three Houses

Critical + (Japanese: 必殺+ Critical +) is a series of skills which debuted in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. As the name suggests, they increase a unit's critical rate by a set amount, and are associated with various classes, typically ones specializing in a single weapon type. Though certain classes have granted critical rate boosts as early as The Binding Blade, their appearance in Radiant Dawn marks their first appearance as visible, defined skills. Awakening would later feature Critical +5 under a different name, Zeal (Japanese: 熱い心 Hot Heart). Three Houses sees the return of the Critical + series with Crit +20.

Trivia

• The class critical rate bonus is not present in the original Japanese version of Path of Radiance. According to the game's director, Masayuki Horikawa, this was because the classes which had such a bonus in previous games were already easy to use and strong. However, the North American and PAL versions of the game added a critical rate bonus for the Swordmaster, Berserker, and Sniper.
