A critical strike, critical hit, or simply a crit is a type of damage effect that deals increased damage to a specific target. The damage caused by critical strikes deals twice as much damage by default; this damage is known as critical damage.

A critical strike can occur if:

  • the damage dealt, either by basic attack or ability, is capable to deal critical damage
  • The damage dealer has at least 1% critical chance (except for guaranteed critical strike)

Generally, critical strikes can be triggered from Basic Attacks, with the exception of certain skills and equipment, notably Balmond Balmond's Cyclone Sweep Cyclone Sweep.

Critical chance[]

Chances to deal multiple Damage with Basic Attacks
 
—MLBB Attribute Guide
Chance to cause [critical damage] with [Basic Attack] (including Physical and Magic). The default is 0. A [critical damage] is guaranteed when it is over 100%. There are skills trigger this effect. For example: Layla's Malefic Bomb and the Typhoon effect of Windtalker.
 
—MLBB Skill Notes

Critical chance or crit rate, expressed as an percentage attribute, is the probability that a critical strike will be occur. The default critical chance is 0%. Unlike other attributes, it is not granted by leveling up, but it can be increased from equipment, emblems and talents, or abilities, which stacks additively.

For example, a hero with a 25% critical chance has a probability to deal one critical strike out of four consecutive attacks.

The ratio of Crit Damage to Basic Damage. The default is 200%.
 
—MLBB Skill Notes

Critical damage is the damage caused by critical strikes. It is also an attribute that represents the percentage of damage that a critical strike would cause. The default crit damage is 200%. It can be increased from equipment, emblems, or abilities, which stacks additively. This attribute, however, can be reduced by a hero's own abilities or the enemy's critical damage reduction attribute.

If the damage succesfully crits, the total damage dealt would be the inital damage of the total critical damage, shown by the formula below:

critical damage would be multiplied to the total damage dealt pre-damage calculation.
