When the chance of activation of this effect works on a successful hit, your mech will make a perfect shot, reaching some vital system on the enemy mech, causing its instant destruction, regardless the amount of damage done.
Example:
Your mech has
20% Crit-Kill and hits sucessfuly. With independency of the dealed damage, if
the chance to proceed the Crit-Kill gets activated, the enemy mech will be
automatically destroyed.
Tips:
It's a good idea to use equipment and weapons to cause a Crit Kill. "There is no better defense than a good attack".
There is never a Crit Kill rate high enough, as the devastator effect can usually be the diference between victory or defeat.
Notes:
Be aware that the mech can get this skill included in its build, as equipment or in weapons. If the skill was included as a Mech build skill or into the equipment, every weapon will have a chance to produce a Crit Kill shot. But if the mech has not the skill nor the equipment, only when using those weapons with the skill may have a chance to get this effect.
