"satisfying blow/hit") which drastically increases the damage dealt on that particular turn. Since critical hits ignore defence, it makes them an instant kill on all [[metal monsters]], provided the monster does not dodge the critical hit. Weapons that strike multiple times, such as the [[Falcon knife earrings]], can strike critically, but weapons that strike multiple targets cannot (Flails, {{Whip}}s, {{Boomerang}}s). | ||
However, many | However, many {{MFamilies}}s also can get critical hits, usually termed a ''terrific blow'', ''brutal hit'', or ''desperate attack'' (痛恨の一撃, ''tsūkon no ichigeki''). For {{MFamilies}}s, there are different variations of critical hits: the first of which simply ignores the target's defence, much like the critical hits landed by playable characters. The second variation lands an attack that simply deals 250% the amount of their normal attack. Some {{MFamilies}}s and bosses also have a variation which deals a fixed amount of damage, as well. | ||

Beginning in {{Dragon Quest IX}} and carrying forwards to | Beginning in {{Dragon Quest IX}} and carrying forwards to {{X}} and {{Heroes}}, the frequency of critical hits became dependent on a character's deftness. | ||
For {{IX}}, the algorithm is ''{{Deftness}}/100 + 3% (with weapon skill trait boost)''. Wearing the Critical Acclaim will add another 4%, and thus the maximum rate is ''(999/100) + 3% + 4% = 16.99%'' at 999 deftness, the critical hit up skill trait and the Critical Acclaim revocation medal. | |||
As an example, if you have a character with '''211''' deftness and 22 skill points invested in their Sword Skill (and they don't have the Critical Claim revocation medal), when they attack with a sword they'll have a ''('''211'''/100) + 3% = '''5.11%''''' chance to crit. | |||
