What Attack Do You Need to One-Shot That Monster

In this model, expected damage per hit equals attack times (1 + crit rate x crit damage). To one-shot a 10,000 HP monster with 20% crit and 50% crit damage, you need about 8,330 raw attack. If you already have 2,000 attack, you are far short and should stack either attack or crit rate. The chart shows expected damage rising with attack and where it crosses the monster's HP.

Visualization

GamesFig uses illustrative game math models with assumed numbers for planning and comparison. These are not official statistics, patch-accurate values, or data from any specific game. Real in-game values differ by title, patch, and build. Treat all results as estimates.

How It Works

Expected damage per hit is attack x (1 + crit rate x crit damage), weighting crits by their chance and bonus. To one-shot a monster you need expected damage at least equal to its HP, so required attack = HP / (1 + crit rate x crit damage). If you prefer to keep current attack, the required crit rate solves the same equation. DPS multiplies expected damage by attack speed. The chart traces expected damage as attack rises and marks the monster HP as a flat line so you see the crossover point.

What Should You Do?

When far below the needed attack, compare the cost of attack gear versus crit gear. Because crit multiplies, raising crit rate or crit damage can be more efficient than raw attack once your base is decent. Use the gear-upgrade simulator to test which stat gives more DPS for your build. Remember these are illustrative formulas, not a specific game's damage table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use expected damage instead of max hit?

Expected damage averages crits over time, which is what matters for DPS and consistent kills, not a lucky max hit.

Are crit values from a real game?

No. Crit rate and crit damage are inputs you supply; the formula is generic and illustrative.

What if I cannot reach the attack needed?

Raise crit rate or crit damage, or lower the target (e.g., aim to two-shot instead of one-shot). The simulator shows the tradeoff.

Does attack speed change the attack needed?

No, attack speed affects DPS, not the single-hit damage needed to one-shot. It helps you kill faster once you can hit the threshold.

Is this model accurate?

It is a simplified expected-value model for planning. Real games add damage types, resistances, and skill modifiers not included here.
