Notes

• Blood Rush multiplies critical chance based on the Melee Combo Counter tier increase.
  • Without a Combo Counter, Blood Rush provides no bonus to critical chance. At 2x, it increases critical chance by 0.40 × (2 - 1) = 40% and at 3x, it increases critical chance by 0.40 × (3 - 1) = 80%. At the standard max Combo Counter of 12x, it increases critical chance by 440%.
• Blood Rush does work with quick melee strikes, as they do increase the Combo Counter, which is counted and maintained even if the weapon is not actively equipped.
• Blood Rush cannot be equipped on  Diwata,  Exalted Blade,  Valkyr Talons,  Iron Staff,  Desert Wind, or  Shadow Claws.
• Pairs very well with  Body Count,  Drifting Contact,  Gladiator Rush, or The  Primary Dexterity &  Secondary Dexterity arcanes which allow players to keep the Combo Counter up more consistently.
• Since thrown attacks from Glaive weapons are affected by the Combo Counter, they will also receive any bonus from Blood Rush.

Calculation

The formula for calculating the increased critical chance reached by the mod is as follows:

Crit Chance = Weapon Crit Chance × [1 + Mod Crit Bonus + Blood Rush Bonus x (Combo Multi - 1)] + Static Crit Bonus

For example, a weapon with 20% base critical chance, modded with maxed  True Steel (+120%) and Blood Rush, and with a Combo Multiplier of 4.0x would reach 20% × (1 + 120% + 40% × (4.0 - 1)) = 68% chance to crit.

The table below displays the critical chance that a melee weapon can achieve depending on its base critical chance and current combo multiplier.

Main article: Blood Rush/Crit Calculation/Equation (edit)

Crit Chance = Weapon Crit Chance × [1 + Mod Crit Bonus + Blood Rush Bonus x (Combo Multi - 1)] + Static Crit Bonus

• Blood Rush Bonus: This is the bonus provided by  Blood Rush based on its rank. Using mods from the Gladiator Set will increase this bonus further. For example, using two Gladiator Mods will effectively bring the total value up to 60%.
• Combo Multi: This is the multiplier from your melee combo counter.
• Mod Crit Bonus: This is the total of all other equipped mod bonuses added together (excluding Static and Blood Rush bonuses).
• Static Crit Bonus: This is the bonus provided by mods like  Cat's Eye (+60%) or special abilities like  Arcane Avenger (+45%). These bonuses stack additively with each other.

A spreadsheet that performs the same calculation, and also allows to enter your Crit Chance % from Crit Mods and the CC% per combo, can be found online here.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), Blood Rush provided +165% critical chance per combo level. Critical chance was calculated according to the following equation:

Crit Chance = [Base Crit Chance × (1 + Mod Crit Chance) + Static Critical Chance Modifiers] × [1 + (Blood Rush Multiplier × Combo Multiplier)]

Patch History

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

Melee Mod Nerfs

Blood Rush’s maximum value is being lowered. This changes the achievability of consistent Red Crits from just one Mod (on most Melee weapons, some High-Critical exceptions), and now additional help will be needed via Mods, Arcanes, or Warframe abilities to achieve consistent Red Crits.

One Mod alone generally delivering the best tier of Criticals felt too powerful.

Blood Rush is changing from:
+60% Critical Chance stacks with Combo Multiplier

To
+40% Critical Chance stacks with Combo Multiplier
