Critical Hit Plus

Critical Hit Plus is a buff in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It increases the amount of dealt by the affected character's s.

Critical Hit Plus gives a 50% bonus to crit damage by default, bringing the power over a non-critical hit from 1.25x to 1.75x. This can be increased with effects such as Swelling Blessing. It lasts for 20 seconds at base, up to 40 seconds with buff-duration-increasing effects.

Sources of critical hit bonus damage are generally much rarer than sources of bonus damage, so this can be a deceptively powerful damage boost. Its effectiveness is, of course, directly proportional to the affected character's crit rate. This buff especially shines in lategame and postgame combat, when additive damage is plentiful and crit rates are high.
