Accuracy

This page is about the game mechanic. For the support gem, see Additional Accuracy Support.

Accuracy is a rating that measures a character's chance to hit with melee and ranged weapons. Accuracy is opposed by the defender's evasion.

Players can gain accuracy through skills, equipping items or dexterity, which gives 2 additional base accuracy per point. Characters also gain 2 base accuracy rating when leveling up.

Mechanics

Accuracy is weighed against the target's evasion when determining if an attack hits or misses according to:

$\color[RGB]{163,141,109} \text{Uncapped Chance to Hit} = {1.25* \text{Attacker's Accuracy} \over \text{Attacker's Accuracy} + (\text{Defender's Evasion} * \frac{1}{5}) ^ {0.9} }$

$\color[RGB]{163,141,109} \text{Chance to Hit} = \min\left(\max\left(\text{Uncapped Chance to Hit}, .05\right), 1\right)$

Chance to hit can not be lower than 5% but can hit 100%.

• Resolute Technique, Worthy Foe, Vigilant Strike, and will raise the chance to hit to 100%, ignoring all accuracy and evasion stats of the attacker and defender respectively.
• Unwavering Stance does the same, in reverse; all attacks against the subject will hit regardless of accuracy.

Spells do not benefit from accuracy since evasion does not aid in avoiding them.
