What is Precision Damage in Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt?

In Blood Hunt, there are many different ways to build up and enhance your character’s stats in Marvel Rivals. Many of these features aren’t available in regular gameplay, as is the case with Precision Damage, so you likely don’t know what they mean.

Understanding what each stat you can build up means is crucial to ensure you’re maximizing every character build, which you’ll need if you want to beat those tougher event levels. If this one has you stumped or confused, here’s what Precision Damage is in Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt.

What does Precision Damage mean in Marvel Rivals?

Precision Damage is essentially an elevated version of a Critical Hit, which means it’s a rare but very high form of damage. This feature is a lot rarer than a Critical Hit, but the damage output for it is a lot higher, so it’s still a very important stat to build up. You can boost your Precision Rate to increase the chances of landing Precision Damage against enemies in the Blood Hunt mode.

How to check Precision Damage in Marvel Rivals

You can check Precision Damage by navigating to the Blood Hunt event page, choosing the Hero tab, swapping over to the Traits section, and looking for the Precision Damage section near the bottom of the panel on the left side of the screen. It’s situated between Precision Rate and Primary Weapon Attack Speed.

This stat looks different for each hero, so be sure to swap between them to check it for all of them. And while you’re already checking your stats, you may also want to review and learn what Output Boost means, as this is another tricky feature you likely aren’t familiar with.

How to increase Precision Damage in Marvel Rivals

To increase your overall Precision Damage, look for upgrade nodes under the Traits page with the same name. You’ll occasionally find them as you progress through the skill tree. You’ll also want to select nodes called Precision Rate when you find them, as these will increase the chances of landing Precision Damage in battle.

Now that you know how this stat works and what it means in combat, you’re ready to take on the deadliest bosses Blood Hunt has to offer, including Dracula and Kingpin. If you’re not sure who you want to build this stat for, check out the best characters you can play in Blood Hunt, as you’ll want to run the best of the best to get your hands on the exclusive Kingpin Accessory event reward.

What to expect from Saros

Saros is a PS5 exclusive that puts you in the shoes of Arjun Devraj. As a Soltari enforcer, you’re tasked with investigating Carcosa. At its heart, the game is a rogue-lite experience, where failure will happen. However, you will still gain something from one run that you can carry to the next one.

Every run will feature dangerous enemies and bosses to take down. To help your cause, you’ll be able to customize your loadout and improve your weapons across your runs. You’ll also gain different resources that will help you to do that. Finally, you can always make use of your Second Chance mechanic (needs to be unlocked), which works as a reset switch if something goes terribly wrong.

While things look and sound pretty exciting, Saros will only be available to PS5 players for the time being. There’s always a chance for it to arrive later on PC, but that seems quite unlikely as of writing.
