Mechanics

Shin Megami Tensei V

Critical Charge bypasses both Critical Hit and accuracy calculations. There are no effects that would force an attack with Critical Charge to miss, but Critical Charge will not force a Critical Hit if the defender resists the attack.

As a Charge effect, if another Charge effect is applied before Critical Charge is consumed, the new effect will overwrite Critical Charge.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

Critical Charge functions as in the original game, but there are two additional exceptions to its effects:

Critical Charge applies to attacks of the Physical attribute or Strength-based, unless the attack is repelled or a Counter. Critical Charge is removed if the attack is repelled, but not if the attack is Level-based. This discrepancy allows a Physical Level-based attack to benefit from Critical Charge without consuming it, which only applies to Feline Fury.

If the defender is under the effects of Luminescent Mirage, its Absolute Evasion effect will take priority over Critical Charge's accuracy effect.
