Crit Rate Calculator
AVOID THE TRAPCrit rate from relics is MULTIPLICATIVE, not additive. This calculator shows your actual crit rate and how much you're losing compared to expectations. Data verified from video analysis.
Crit Rate is MULTIPLICATIVE!
Relic crit rate multiplies your base crit, it does NOT add to it. This makes crit rate relics significantly worse than they appear.
Source: Video analysis confirmed with Cyborg (15% base + 37.5% relic = 20.6% actual)

Trait bonuses add to base BEFORE relic multiplication
Calculation Formula
After Trait = Base + Trait Bonus
Actual = After Trait × (1 + Relic%)
Wrong = Base + Trait + Relic
ACTUAL (Multiplicative)
20.6%
This is your real crit rate
EXPECTED (If Additive)

Why This Matters
- •A +37.5% crit relic on a 15% base unit only gives ~5.6% more crit
- •The same slot with a +48% Damage relic gives +48% damage directly
- •Crit rate relics are only efficient on high base crit units
- •Use Damage, Cooldown, or Crit Damage relics instead
Recommended Alternatives
Damage Relic+48% (Additive)
Cooldown Relic-22.5% (More attacks)
Crit Damage Relic+72% (Better scaling)
Hyper Armor DMG+99% (Boss killer)
