Give That Wolf A Banana
== Introduction ==
Do you dream of achieving a whopping 69% 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.

== 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.
