CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG are character stats that determine damage output in Genshin Impact. Read on to learn more about what CRIT is, how to raise CRIT Stats using weapons, artifacts, and characters, and the ideal CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG ratio.
List of Contents
CRIT (or Critical Hit) is an attack that deals more damage than usual. When damage numbers are scaled larger, it indicates that you managed to deal a CRIT Hit.
CRIT Rate measures how often you can deal CRIT Hits. Higher percentages means a higher chance of your attacks becoming critical hits.
For Bow characters, all Charged Attacks that hit an enemy's weak spot will be a guaranteed CRIT Hit!
Every character has a base CRIT Rate of at least 5%.
CRIT DMG measures how much bonus DMG you deal when you get a CRIT Hit. Higher percentages means more bonus DMG output.
Every character has a base CRIT DMG of at least 50%.
CRIT Ratio | |
---|---|
CRIT Rate = At least 50% | CRIT DMG = CRIT Rate x 2 |
Our recommended ratio of CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG is 1:2, with CRIT DMG being double of the CRIT Rate. For example, if your CRIT Rate is 60%, your CRIT DMG should be at least 120%.
Try to aim for at least 50% CRIT Rate when building characters, so everyone has a decent chance to deal CRIT hits!
The characters that benefit the most from CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG will be your main damage dealers. They will need these stats to deal more damage per hit.
The higher your ATK, the better effect your CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG can have, so make sure you are also building this important stat!
CRIT increases the damage multiplier on the initial damage you deal to enemies. This means raising only CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG won't deal high damage if you don't increase your character's ATK stat.
A healthy build is to find a middle ground between raising CRIT Rate, Crit DMG and ATK, as well as keep in mind the stat that your character's talent scales off of.
You can increase your CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG by equipping artifacts with CRIT Main and Sub stats.
Only Circlets can get CRIT stats as their Main artifact stat, so you should build your artifacts based on whatever your Circlet artifact has.
If your Circlet artifact has CRIT Rate, aim for CRIT DMG Sub-stats on your other artifacts. If it has CRIT DMG, you need CRIT Rate Sub-stats.

Blizzard Strayer |

2-Piece Effect | Cryo DMG Bonus +15% |
4-Piece Effect | When a character attacks an enemy affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the enemy is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%. |
Berserker |

2-Piece Effect | CRIT Rate +12% |
4-Piece Effect | When HP is below 70%, CRIT Rate increases by an additional 24%. |
There are weapons in the game that build up CRIT after every Ascension. Using these items will make building CRIT easier as you do not need to rely much on getting artifacts with CRIT substats!
Some characters can provide additional CRIT Rate for their party members, depending on their Talents or Constellations.
Character | Talent | Effect |
---|---|---|
Rosaria | Shadow Samaritan | Casting her Elemental Burst increases CRIT Rate of all nearby party members (except Rosaria herself) by 15% of Rosaria's CRIT Rate for 10s. |
Hu Tao | Flutter By | When a Paramita Papilio state activated by her Elemental Skill ends, all allies in the party (excluding Hu Tao herself) will have their CRIT Rate increased by 12% for 8s. |
Character | Constellation | Effect |
---|---|---|
Hu Tao | C4 Garden of Eternal Rest |
Upon defeating an enemy affected by a Blood Blossom (C2) that Hu Tao applied herself, all nearby allies (excluding Hu Tao herself) will have their CRIT Rate increased by 12% for 15s. |
There are some characters that raise CRIT stats when they ascend. These characters can make CRIT building much easier as you do not have to rely too much on Artifacts or Weapons to get CRIT.
