== Introduction ==
Do you dream of achieving a whopping 65% crit chance? Do you relish the idea of using all your weapon slots and helmet for a meme build? If you answered 'yes', then you're in the right place. This guide will show you how to make that dream a reality. This build comes to fruition in Act 3, but you'll start collecting pieces as early as Act 1.

== The Building Blocks ==

=== Act 1: Starting Off with Knife of the Undermountain King ===
* '''Location''': Sold by [[A'jak'nir Jeera]] in [[Crèche Y'llek]].
* '''Item''': [[Knife of the Undermountain King]]
* '''Effect''': Increases your crit range from 20 to 19-20.

=== Act 2: Risky Ring and a Covert Cowl ===
* '''Location''': Carried by a [[Meenlock]] creature in the Cellar of [[Last Light Inn]].
* '''Item''': [[Covert Cowl]]
* '''Effect''': While obscured, the number you need to roll a Critical Hit while attacking is reduced by 1. This effect can stack.
* '''Notes''': This item well eventually be replaced in Act 3


* '''Location''': Sold by [[Araj Oblodra]] on the main floor of [[Moonrise Towers]] in Chapter Two.
* '''Item''': [[Risky Ring]]
* '''Effect''': You gain advantage on attack rolls
* '''Notes''': The most important item for the build

==== Calculating Your New Crit Odds with Risky Ring ====
The formula to calculate your new crit odds becomes:  

 1 - (1 - (0.05 \times \text{Crit Range}))^2 

This calculates the odds of not rolling a crit in two dice rolls.
Below is a table showing how your crit chances varies.

== Other Essentials ==

=== Feat Requirement: Spell Sniper ===
* '''Effect''': Adds a flat +1 to crit range.
* '''Note''': Despite the text saying it should only apply to spells it applies to all attacks

=== Elixir of Potato ===
* '''Availability''': Can be crafted or purchased in large quantities in Act 2.
* '''Effect''': Adds another +1 to crit range.

=== Class Requirements ===
* '''Class''': Fighter 3 for the Champion subclass, which adds another +1 to crit range.
* '''Optional Classes''': More levels in Fighter, Thief for additional off-hand attacks and sneak attack, or Warlock for fear on crit.

=== Race ===
* '''Options''': Any race can be used, though [[Savage Attacks]] from Half Orc is a nice bonus.

== Calculating Your Damage Output ==
We will be assuming you always hit because we'd need to factor in AC and all your attack mods
With crits being a flat 2x damage, finding average damage is straightforward. If you have a crit rate of 0.5775, you'd essentially be dealing approx 1.5775x damage on average.

== FAQ ==
=== Why would I use this build? ===
Because crit.

=== How well does this build perform? ===
All I know is I must crit.

=== Bugs of Note ===
# The Spell Sniper feat is currently generic, meaning it works for this build despite being designed for spells.
# The build performs better on any character that is not your main toon since you can have them stay at camp and rejoin for additional dice, which doubles on crit.
