Who achieved 100 percent critical?

Hi. I'd like to know how hard is to achieve 100% critical rate nowadays as a NL. Has any of you reached that without any additional buffs? What are the best methods/link skills/items to reach that number?

Thank you!

Base crit rate: 55%
Phantom level 2 link: 15%
Hyper crit rate skill: 10%
Adventurer ring: 15%
There's 95%. The other 5% can come from inner ability/potential/marksman character card/decent sharp eyes

I don't like to use inner abilities/ potentials/ rings for crit rate as there are better options for those slots and I've still managed 99%... So close to 100
Hyper crit/Level 3 phant/DSE/ SS MM

[quote=kraze159]My ring set
Absolute Ring
lv 10 ring (Will be replacing this with a pinacle ring that's atleast 9%)
10% tempest
10% unleashed[/quote]

You should replace the Absolute with Zero Gratias, or temporarily replace that level 10 Ring with the Zero Gratias for now, and save up for a Reinforced/Superior Gollux Ring to replace the other of Absolute/level 10 Ring that's still there.

I was too lazy to play as a Zero in order to get that ring. In fact, I hated that class and the tutorials so much that I got sick after 20 minutes and never came back. Fortunately, my phantom was close to 120 so I just had to do a few RLH runs.

I did on Zero alpha. It's ridiculously easy to do so on Zero alpha now (15% gratias ring, 30% from innate skill [after you've fought a while and have 10 alpha buffs stacked], and a 40% crit boost from a passive buff) that gives you 90% total without any other boosts.

Criticals are vastly underrated by many people. Pre-RED, NL's had 35% Minimum, and 50% Maximum Critical Damage. On average, you're dealing 1.425x more damage vs. a non-critical. Post-RED, NL's have 45% Minimum, and 75% Maximum Critical Damage. On average, you're dealing 1.6x more damage vs. a non-critical.

Thank you everyone! I managed to reach 100% using inner ability, A neb and Phantom link skill. It makes a huge difference in output DPM, really.

Pretty easy on bishop. I have base critical 85 because of bishop passive skill. I have 3% marksman S card, 15% inner ability, 20% critical ring, and 15%phantom link skill.

Easy:

55% base
15% phantom link skill
15% inner ability
15% critical ring

And voila, everything's red. My charm has critical too, but that's useless.

NL is the easiest character I've played so far that can get 100% critical.

Here's how:
Passives
15% phantom link
3% S marksman card
15% adventurer crit ring

My level 130 NL has 88% crit without me even attempting to try.
When I get to 198 on my NL, I'll be 98%.

If I get my Phantom to 210, I'll get +5% more crit
If I get my marksman to 200, i'll get +1% more crit
If I move my SE gloves, I will get 10% more crit

Here are more ways to get critical
%crit nebs (these are bad)
inner ability can give you a lot.
15% zero ring

Phantom gives 10% at 70 and 15% at 120 I think. And I think Crossbowmen give a tiny bit of %crit for their character cards. And as he said before, Zero ring gives 15% crit, but the adventurer ring gives 10% crit (nvm, I think i have a different one). You can always use nebs too.

Don't NLs have one of the highest base critical rates?

5% base
50% from Critical Throw
10% from Hyper Critical (198)
15% from level 2 Phantom Link

That's already 80%, the rest should be fairly easy to get. Here's a couple of options:

10% from Decent Sharp Eyes
15% from Unique Inner Ability
8% from A Rank Nebulite
15% from Zero Gratias Ring/Pivotal Adventurer Ring
3% from S Rank Marksman
