can enemies' attacks deal crit damage on the players?

Critical Hits refers to the random occurrence of an attack dealing increased damage to an opponent.

Critical Rate (CRIT Rate) is the probability that a strike will be a Critical Hit. Critical Damage (CRIT DMG), expressed as a percent, represents how much extra damage the Critical Hit will do

If the attack is a Critical Hit, the CRIT DMG multiplier is applied:

{\text{ Outgoing DMG}}_{\text{Critical}}={\text{Outgoing DMG}}\times (1+\%{\text{ CRIT DMG}})

The base CRIT Rate for most characters is usually 5%, while the base CRIT DMG is 50%. These attributes can be increased by:

According to the Version 2.1 Special Program, Sangonomiya Kokomi's base CRIT Rate is -100% (negative), making her an exception.

Critical Hits can still register on some enemies when they are immune to damage and trigger further effects. For example, The Black Sword and Favonius Series weapons' passives will trigger after landing a Critical Hit on a Hypostasis in its protected state.

Crit Ratio Optimization

Main article: Attribute Optimization

There is a general rule of thumb to aim for a 2:1 ratio between crit damage and crit rate. This is derived in the above article.

Let r be the crit rate probability ( $r\leq 1$ ) and d be the crit damage ( $d\geq 0$ ) in decimal form (so 150% crit damage would be $d=1.5$ ).

Suppose the damage is x without crit. The expected damage is

(1-r)x+r(1+d)x=x(1+rd)

In general the goal is to maximize this product (via making r and d as large as possible). But if one puts a constraint on the relation between r and d, then it is possible to derive an optimal crit ratio between the two. See Attribute Optimization for more info.
