Crit Build (Artemis)

Stack Artemis critical chance and crit damage so your hits spike, best on weapons that land many shots.

At a glance


Damage source	Critical hits, from Artemis’s added crit chance and crit damage.
Comes online	Once you have an Artemis crit boon on your main damage action.
Core boon	An Artemis boon that adds critical chance to your Attack, Special, or Cast.
Good weapons	High hit-count weapons like the Heart-Seeking Bow and Adamant Rail.

Crit is a multiplier on hits that roll critical. More hits and more crit chance mean more crits, so this build wants weapons that land a lot of shots.

Gods and boons to prioritize

Priority	God	Why
1	Artemis	Add crit chance to your main action, then take her boons that raise crit damage. The core of the build.
2	Athena	Deflect for survival, and her boons fold cleanly into a crit plan.
3	Hermes	More attack speed means more hits, which means more crit rolls.

Pom your crit boon and any boon that raises crit chance. More chance compounds with high hit-count weapons.

Payoff to aim for

Artemis has crit-focused Duos with other gods and a Legendary for committing to her. Exact Duo and Legendary names are flagged to verify, so aim for the archetype: a Duo that converts hits or a status into guaranteed or bonus crits, or Artemis’s Legendary once you hold enough of her boons. Take it when your second god lines up.

Keepsake

Artemis’s keepsake adds a flat crit chance and makes her boons appear early. It does double duty for this build.
Swap to a defensive keepsake at a region transition if survival is shaky.

Do this in order

Equip Artemis’s keepsake for the early crit chance and to find her boons.
Pick a high hit-count weapon (Bow or Rail) so crits roll often.
Take an Artemis crit boon on your main damage action.
Add Athena Deflect for defense.
Pom crit chance and crit damage boons.
Take Hermes attack speed, and grab a crit Duo or the Artemis Legendary if your gods line up.

Watch out for

Low hit-count weapons get few crit rolls. This build wants volume.
Crit is chance-based, so single big hits are streaky. Lean on attack speed to smooth it out.
Do not split into a second damage source. Stack crit instead.
Skipping defense. Crit does nothing to keep you alive.
