>>50928881battles without critical hits would be cancer. Crits bypass stat negative stat boosts/nerfs, and they're a numbers game where the longer you drag a fight on for, the more likely it is your opponent inevitably lands a crit on you. The fact that crits exist discourage players from being super passive and defensive. If crits didn't exist, you'd see a bunch of shit like just using cosmic power to just max out your defenses and become completely unkillable unless your opponent has roar/whirlwind/haze
