Critical + (Japanese:必殺+Critical +) is a series ofskills which debuted inFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. As the name suggests, they increase a unit'scritical rate by a set amount, and are associated with variousclasses, typically ones specializing in a singleweapon type. Though certain classes have granted critical rate boosts as early asThe Binding Blade, their appearance inRadiant Dawn marks their first appearance as visible, defined skills.Awakening would later feature Critical +5 under a different name,Zeal (Japanese:熱い心Hot Heart).Three Houses sees the return of the Critical + series with Crit +20. InFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it is calledBoost Critical.
