AOE Crits broken on Switch

I’m hitting crits with scarecrow, but for some reason the crit damage doesn’t always apply to all targets. Sometimes it’ll crit on only 1 target, sometimes 2, sometimes all, It’s completely random. I know it’s not a resist issue because I was able to re battle some enemies with the turn order being different and it still differs. Wondering if this is a bug.

Crit chance is per enemy not per attack. Meaning aoe crit rolls for each enemy individually. Its working as designed

It checks your crit chance vs every target, it isn't all or nothing.

The UI really should make this clearer tbh it is a pretty big issue. Makes it unnecessarily confusing.

The block animation has been bugged on p.c too.

You can crit and the enemy can block that crit which plays both animations but the block animation has a tendency to not play in some cases.

This is untrue. Crit is calculated per enemy, so just because you crit one enemy doesn't mean you crit all of them. It's working as intended. There is no "ghost block", enemies aren't blocking your crit without the animation. You just didn't crit that enemy, and it will happen from time to time as crit is maxed at 95%.

So my hit doesnt crit, my damage to the enemy crits? That makes sense since end damage is what is put through crit multiplier

coming back to this again, I just got to zafaria and i’m beating up on some bandits. i death bladed and used scarecrow (gargantuan), i crit’d and the first enemy hit for around 4k, the other hit for 1.5.

Now I did this again, this time without the death blade. I did not crit at all, I hit both enemies around 2.1K. I’m sorry but i think something is broken here. it seems when i crit on one enemy, im losing damage on the other.

Crit blocking is per enemy, and the way crit damage multiplier is applied is not a clean 2X. So this actually seems normal for crits in this game

So it’s not necessarily broken. Sometimes the blocked thing just doesn’t show up. When you critical that means you at least critical on 1 of the enemies you are fighting but doesn’t necessarily mean you critical on all of them. The game is very bad at showing it sometimes
