How to calculate critical hits in LOL? Analysis and in-depth guide to hot topics across the Internet
Recently, the critical strike mechanism of "League of Legends" (LOL) has become the focus of heated discussion among players. Whether you are a novice or an experienced player, your understanding of critical hit probability and damage calculation may affect the outcome of the game. This article will combine the hot discussions on the Internet in the past 10 days, use structured data to analyze the critical strike mechanism, and provide practical tips.
1. Basic mechanism of critical attack

Critical hits in LOL refer to normal attacks that have a certain probability of causing additional damage. The following is the core calculation formula:
| parameters | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| base critical hit rate | Initial probability without equipment | 0% |
| Basic critical damage | Extra damage without bonus | 175% basic attack damage |
| Maximum critical hit effect | Affected by equipment/talent | 250% basic attack damage |
2. Comparison of critical hit data of popular equipment
According to actual player testing and version update logs, the effects of current mainstream critical equipment are as follows:
| Equipment name | Critical hit rate bonus | special effects | Applicable heroes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infinity Blade | 20% | Critical hit damage increased to 210% | ADC/Assassin |
| rapid fire cannon | 20% | Increases attack distance after charging | Shooter |
| Aashiki | 20% | Additional slowdown on first attack | Explosive hero |
3. Critical hit probability superposition rules
The most common question that players are confused about is how to stack the probability of multiple pieces of critical equipment. The following are actual test results:
| Equipment combination | Theoretical critical hit rate | actual critical hit rate | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Endless+Artillery | 40% | 40% | linear superposition |
| 3 pieces of 20% equipment | 60% | 60% | The upper limit is 100% |
| Yasuo Passive | +20% | Double critical hit chance | Need to be calculated separately |
4. Critical strike configurations of popular heroes in versions
According to OP.GG statistics, the equipment options for the three heroes with high critical hit utilization rates in the current version are:
| hero | Core critical equipment | average critical hit rate | winning rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| ember | hentai+collector | 60% | 52.3% |
| Yasuo | Shield Bow + Endless | 100% | 50.8% |
| Tryndamere | Electric knife + endless | 80% | 51.6% |
5. Advanced skills and cold knowledge
1.Critical hit judgment mechanism: The system will determine whether a critical hit occurs when the attack animation starts, rather than when the attack animation starts.
2.pseudorandom algorithm: When there are no critical hits in a row, the actual probability will be slightly increased to avoid extreme situations.
3.Special interactions: The captain’s Q skill and the card’s W selection can trigger critical strike effects.
4.Critical hit reduction: Langton's Omen can reduce critical damage received by 15%
6. Common misunderstandings among players
• Misunderstanding 1: There are additional benefits when the critical hit rate exceeds 100% (actually invalid)
• Myth 2: All skills can critically hit (only specific skills can trigger)
• Misunderstanding 3: Critical damage bonus is multiplicative (actually additive)
From the above data analysis, it can be seen that the reasonable combination of critical equipment requires comprehensive consideration of hero characteristics, laning stage and enemy lineup. It is recommended to measure the DPS changes of different equipment combinations in the training mode to find the optimal solution.
