Talk:Critical Hit (Mechanic)/@comment-87.123.145.64-20130928143048

So lets state some Facts I've gathered.

My Synapse has 125% Critchance (50%basex150%Mod), 560% Critdamage, 550 basedmg (according to the Stats ingame).

Mods: Vital Sense 5/5, Hammershot 3/3, Point Strike 5/5, Split Chamber 5/5, Serration 7/10, Ammo Drum 5/5

It does almost only normal Crits, BUT at Ancients it hits some non Crits and at every enemy no RED Crits...

When i use Volt's Shield i get many red Crits and normal Crits

But what are red Crits? Double Crits?

The dmg from those red Crits through the Volt-Shield are six times more dmg then normal Crits (no Shield). (tested on light Infested)

Meaning normal Crit without Shield did 100 and with Shield did 600 red Crit... (non Crit did 20 dmg)

20x560%(Critdmg)= 112 (11% electric resistance?)   BUT   20x50%(Voltshield)x1120%(doublecrit?)= 336-11%=300

Or is a red Crit a Crit of a Crit...

example: 20x50%x560%x560% = 940,8-11%=837,3

Something doesnt add up... What are red Crits...

My standard dmg for my unformatted Synapse is between 1-4 dmg (non Crit at a Ancient) and 2000 (red Crit Headshot at Moa)

For Grineer it is between 20 non Crit and 1000 red Crit Headshot.... Numbers are a bit rounded, but not much..

How can the numbers change so much?

Another Fact the Synapse does stray much, more then Soma less then Gorgon (while both spinned up to max)
