This engine increases attack in the passive

it's crit % stat stick with atk % boost + extra damage on critical hit. I see things about this being physical so can't proc properly which is super confusing cause additional 200% of ATK as dmg looks straightforward: you land a crit hit for 10k damage will add 20k damage to the attack? Can someone clarify this?
