What is Crit Value (CV)? How to score relics properly
What is Crit Value?
Crit Value (CV) measures the crit quality of a relic: CRIT Rate (%) × 2 + CRIT DMG (%). Since one point of CR is worth two of CD, CR is doubled to put them on one scale.
What is good?
For one relic: CV ≥ 20 is fine to keep, ≥ 32 is very good, ≥ 45 is a rare god roll. Across all 6 pieces, endgame players usually aim for a total CV around 180–220+.
Why does everyone use CV?
Most DPS in HSR live and die by crits, so CR and CD decide most of their damage. CV merges them into one number, letting you compare any relic on one scale — toss weak pieces, keep the ones worth leveling. It does not replace a full damage calculation, but it is a fast, accurate filter.
