Notes

Critical Strike is an RPG term to an attack that is generated by luck and probability. When the player delivers a regular attack, there is a possibility it may hit the opponent with a stronger than normal attack (usually twice than the normal damage).
- The 'Critical' could also be derived from the use in the medical field.
