nooooo! cough cough! ahem! 🤒 🤧 🥶 ok, class, please look at the screen and take notes. 👨‍🏫 🤓 > [@Golems Critical Hit Basics](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/golems-critical-hit-basics/28174): > > All Characters start with +10% Chance to do a Critical Hit for +50% DMG. This shows on your screen as Purple Numbers. on average, 1 out of 10 hits will be a Crit. Crit Chance: the Cap for Crit Chance is +60%. so you can improve your Crit Chance to be 6 out of 10 hits to be a Crit, on average. Crit DMG: the Cap for Crit DMG is +350%. the +50% you start with is not counted towards the Cap, but is added to the total. so your max Crit DMG would be +400%.

Crushing Blow: has a % chance to take up to 25% of enemies current health. HP: 1,000,000 - 25% = 750,000. 750,000 - 25% = 562,500. as you can see, when the health goes down, Crushing Blow does less DMG. higher Tier Monsters are more resistant to Crushing Blow. showing DMG from full health monster with 1 million… Crushing Blow & Crit Damage work differently, although they are calculated at the same time. (the chance for Crit and/or CB is done at the same time) CB has a % chance take 25% of your enemies Current Health. the higher the rarity of the monster, the lower the % of Current Health that is taken. I haven’t heard of anyone one hit killing a monster of any kind on higher floors without using a Crushing Flames and/or Frozen Build. eventually, on higher floors, monsters have so much Health, it’s more about crazy high DPS or Chained High Damage (like a Poison Build or a Bleed Build), than just a one hit kill. Critical Damage is a kind of Spike damage, and anything that causes damage can cause a Critical Hit, except for Crushing Blow or Crushing Flames. Epiphany (5), Rage (5), +225% Crystal Crit DMG, +75% Critical Hit, +70%, or better, Deadly Strike, Brutal Mythic will get you about 50% of your attacks being Deadly Strike for 3x Crit Damage. for normal builds, a Max Crit damage with Brutal is 15x of damage done on Deadly Strike. with Epiphany, you would get up to about 17.6x damage done on Deadly Strike with Brutal. hope this helps, even though I wrote a lot. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/floor-hiking-build-curiosity/34119)._
