Max LUCK: What's it mean?

[Arnot]

I have heard many things about what the LUCK stat on your character stands for.

1. It increases critical attacks
2. It greatly increases chances of finding rares

I was wondering if anyone knew for sure what it helps...

[Neith]

There's guides on this kind of thing... Luck only increases critical hit ratio, nothing more.

[Hrigg]

Luck increases your chances of hitting the emeny with a critical hit and decreases the chances of you getting critically hit.

#2 is a lie.

[Arnot]

oh okay that what i was thinking. Thnx XD

This is the first time I've heard this. Can you cite your sources?

[Parn]

Each point of Luck gives you .5% critical hit rate. So you start off with 10 Luck, therefore a 5% critical hit rate, which maxes at 100 Luck, for 50% critical hit rate.

Additionally, higher luck affects the effectiveness of weapons that use status inducing effects, weapons that induce paralysis, confusion, instant-death, etc.

Hmm? I thought only accuracy did that?

[Nohra]

I'm pretty sure only accuracy affects the chances of hitting with a weapon's special attack. Otherwise my Arrest Raygun with 40% hit wouldn't be anywhere near as effective on my non-maxed luck chars.

[Fanta]

It has nothing to do with confusion/arrest etc, that all depends on the weps hit %!!

[PurplePower1]

you guys should probably check around oh this site. It has a lot of useful info on it.

[tank1]

ata dont affect s.attacks it varies from weapon to weapon my stag cults are fairly inaccurate but my snow queen has never missed.
