Effect by Rank

Summary

Pairs Well With

• Perfect Counter

• Privateer Set

• Mastery

Community Value

Strong. Crit chance additively stacks, so 9% here plus 10% from Privateer 2P plus 12% from Perfect Counter during a burst window produces a meaningful jump over the base rate. Situational only if the build has committed entirely to flat damage stacking (Quick Strikes plus Deep Cuts plus Deadly Finale) rather than crit density.
