Reader's Guide

The Critical Hit Boost is obtained through crafting at the Blacksmith or by defeating high-level enemies in the late stages of the game. It functions as a passive multiplier to damage output whenever an attack registers as a critical hit. To maximize its effectiveness, players should pair this artifact with weapons that have high base critical rates or abilities that increase critical chance. This synergy ensures that the boosted damage triggers frequently rather than being a rare occurrence. Strategically, this ability is essential for boss encounters where health pools are massive and standard attacks whittle down HP too slowly. By focusing on dodging to create openings for critical strikes, players can eliminate threats in seconds.
