How did my crit do less damage than when it didn't?

Question

So watch this battle. Ok, so at turn 17 dragapult used dragon darts. It crit the first time, doing 40% of the opponents hp, then doesn't crit the next and does 60. Was it a showdown glitch, something I misread, or low damage rolls than high? Thanks

Answer 1

If you look at the text being displayed on-screen, not in the record on the side, the critical hit message goes along with the 60%, not the 40%. This may just be a Showdown! glitch, but it does seem that it was correctly displayed in-battle.

hope I helped!

Oh, weird so it was like a text lag. Huh, weird. Ok thanks :)

You're welcome!

Answer 2

The critical hit occurred the 2nd hit, not the first. As a result, the possible damage tools are possible.
