Critical Hit

Give matching shots a better chance to hit hard.

Improves the chance of a stronger hit from the named tower tier against the matching infected role.

When to choose it

Choose it when the affected towers can repeatedly attack the matching threat.

Limits to remember

Critical hits are occasional. Every shot will not receive the stronger hit.

Read the tower portrait and any pictured infected role on your selected card. The ability applies to eligible towers of that tier for its designated wave. A new card replaces the previous choice; these are temporary abilities.

Merging into a different tier changes which cards apply. Check the tower you have after the merge.

Try this in your fortress

Watch several attacks and notice the stronger hits among the ordinary ones.
