-UCS attacks have the potential to cause both [[hitpoint|health point loss]] and [[wound]]s (commonly referred to as [[critical]] injuries). In addition to potentially injuring a body location/s, each critical may also include specific associated status effects, such as (stuns, knockdowns, slow, silence) which can further debilitate an opponent. Another status effect unique to UCS criticals is induced [[roundtime]] (RT), although, the percentage of criticals with this associated effect is fairly low.

			The table below lists the minimum [[endroll]] (ER) requirements to inflict a critical and activate weighting for each armor group.
