Is Killing Spree Worth It?

Skill Ranking A Rank Icon

Killing Spree is worth investing points into

This skill increases your critical hit chance additively which means it will add a flat 50% critical hit chance instead of adding a bonus 50% to your current critical hit chance. Another effect that this skill has is that it will continue to stack after getting the first kill and will only expire after combat ends.

(Ex. from 10% critical hit chance, it will add 50% to become a total of 60% instead of adding a bonus 5% to become 15%)

Conclusion

If you have a build that heavily relies on any of your weapons critically hitting the enemies, then you should get this skill. This skill is worth getting considering the effect it gives and the cost to unlock and fully upgrade it.
