Details on both how Criticals are procced and are scored.

$$critchance = tech_e * \frac{3}{100000} + bondboard + \sum_{Skills}skill + \begin{cases} 0.15 & \text{if Tech is the highest stat} \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$

$bondboard$: The Critical Chance bonus from the Bond Board of the character

$skill$: The percentual effect of an active Critical Chance buff/debuff

The condition for the 15% bonus, commonly known as Crit Profile or Critical Sense, uses the card's defined stat distribution. Technique must be the single highest stat, if tied with another stat the bonus will not apply. The easiest way to check in game is checking the nodes in the card's training tree - if the increase per node is bigger for Technique nodes than for the other two stat nodes, the card has crit profile. Whether a card receives this bonus or not is hardcoded in the game's database¹⁾, and will not change even if any step of the stat calculation would raise another stat enough to be higher than Tech.

To do: Is there a difference between Base Crit Chance and non-Base Crit Chance skills? Are all of them additive?

$$critpower = (1.5 + bondboard + \sum_{Skills}skill) \cdot accs$$

$bondboard$: The Critical Power bonus from the Bond Board of the character

$skill$: The percentual effect of an active Critical Power buff/debuff

$accs$: Sum of Base Critical Power Accessory effects (Hairpins and Bangles). See Accessories for Skill Effect calculation

To do: Is the Bond Board bonus multiplicative or additive?

(Editor's note: at least this is easier to test than pseudorandom crit chances woo)

Depending on a unit's base Crit Power (only the base 1.5 plus Bond Board bonus), a different effect is shown for the “CRITICAL” rating popup.

The default effect is a blue-purple “CRITICAL” popup with unfilled lightning icons. Big stars are emitted as particles.

When one Crit Power node is unlocked on the Bond Board (base Crit Power of at least 1.5001), the Level 2 effect is shown. The lightning icons are now filled, and small triangles are added to the particles.

Reaching a base Crit Power of 2 or more (by finishing the Level 100 Bond Board) will show the Level 3 effect, changing the color to green-blue and the icons to double lightning bolts. The particle effects add large, unfilled triangles, and a little zoom animation is applied to the rating.

Level 1 (0% Board bonus)	Level 2 (0.01% Board bonus)	Level 3 (50% Board bonus)

The max level effect, Level 4, can be activated by reaching a base Crit Power 3 or more, however, there are not enough Crit Power nodes on the Bond Board yet to make it possible to reach this.
