Critical Damage is a keyword used in Mercenaries. Its internal name is CRITICALDAMAGE.

Critical Damage is also an important mechanic when the weakness system is involved. In particular, when a Caster deal damages a Protector, the Protector takes double damage from it. The same cases occur with Protector dealing damage to Fighter, and Fighter dealing damage to Caster.

Protector

Caster

Fighter

• Protector
• Fighter
• Caster

Critical Damage is generally only applied to such cases, unless the text of some abilities or equipment specify to exclude those cases.

Notes

• Critical Damage only doubles damage after all calculations are resolved.
  • For example: Your Anduin Wrynn casts Holy Word: Salvation 1, then opponent's Diablo attacks Anduin with 9 Attack. Holy Word: Salvation 1 reduces the damage received by that attack by 2, making the result 7. Then, as a Fighter, Diablo's result damage is doubled, making it 14. In conclusion, Anduin will take 14 damage.
