What Does Luck Do?

Increases the Chances of Landing Critical Hits and Chance-based Moves

Luck in Metaphor: ReFantazio is a stat that influences your critical hit rate, item acquisition, and other chance-based moves. With higher luck, you can land more critical hits, earn more rewards after battles, and inflict status ailments more effectively.

Magic Skills Cannot Critically Hit

The critical hit rate applies only to physical moves, specifically melee, slash, strike, and pierce skills. This also means that magic or spell skills will never result in a critical hit, a trend that has carried over from past Persona and Shin Megami Tensei titles.
