critical hits
Lucky damage multipliers
Critical hits are attacks in games that deal significantly more damage than normal, typically triggered randomly or by meeting specific conditions.
The concept originated in tabletop role-playing games, where certain rolls would strike vital areas for extra effect.
In video games, critical hit chance and damage are often character stats that can be improved: I built my character around critical hits.
The abbreviation "crits" is common: That weapon crits for massive damage.
