Critical (skill)
| ||||
|
Critical (Japanese:ひっさつCritical) is a combatskill exclusive toFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. In the modifiedcritical hit system employed byGenealogy of the Holy War, Critical is the basic means through which critical hits are possible; without Critical, the only avenues of performing a critical hit open to aunit are activating acombination bonus orWrath. Unlike these other means, Critical is relatively easy to obtain by any unit through a weapon'skill bonus, and is not dependent on keeping a set other unit close at hand to the user.
