Awakened Increased Critical Damage Support: What Does It Mean?

The Awakened Increased Critical Damage Support is a powerful support gem in Path of Exile 2 that enhances the critical strike damage of linked skills. This gem is particularly popular among builds that focus on dealing high critical damage, making it a staple for many end-game characters.

Overview

The Awakened Increased Critical Damage Support gem provides a significant boost to the critical strike damage multiplier of supported skills. This means that any skill linked with this support gem will deal substantially more damage when it lands a critical strike. It is an upgraded version of the standard Increased Critical Damage Support gem, offering enhanced effects.

  • Gem Level: The gem can be leveled up to 5, each level increasing the damage multiplier.
  • Quality: Improves the critical strike multiplier bonus.
  • Attributes: Requires a mix of Dexterity and Intelligence.

Mechanics

The Awakened Increased Critical Damage Support only affects skills that can critically strike. As a support gem, it must be linked to an active skill gem in a socketed item to function. The increased critical damage multiplier provided by the gem allows players to maximize their damage output, especially in builds that are optimized for high critical strike chance.

  1. Link the gem with skills that have a high critical strike chance.
  2. Utilize it in conjunction with other critical strike enhancing items and passives.
  3. Consider pairing with other Awakened gems for maximum damage output.

Strategies

For players looking to maximize their critical strike damage, the Awakened Increased Critical Damage Support is an essential gem. Here are a few strategies to make the most of this support gem:

  • High Crit Builds: Use in builds that rely on high critical strike chance and multiplier, such as Assassin archetypes.
  • Skill Synergy: Pair with skills that naturally have a high base critical strike chance.
  • Gear and Passives: Equip items and choose passive skills that further increase your critical strike chance and multiplier to fully benefit from the support gem.
