Can someone explain in sensible terms which skills are eligible for the critical strike bonuses? All spells? Some spells? Very few spells? No spells? (i did a quick search and nasus q has crit chance) Melee-only spells? AOE spells? Ranged spells? Physical spells? Magic spells?
Give me something to work with here, runes are expensive.
Critmaster Garen2 votesvery few abilities in this game that arent considered empowered auto attacks apply critical strikes.
a few examples would be. jhinns ult, gangplanks q (and by extention barrels), pantheons q, garens spin and q.
there are also some mage spells with wonky coding that are considered crits. karthus q on a single target, and anivias empowered e.

right.
cuddlykitten41 votesBasic attacks utilize crit. Any ability that states that it applies on-hit affects will apply crit. I believe a few abilities state specifically that crit will work with them. Abilities that alter your basic attack (such as the Nasus Q in your example) will crit because even though you applied an ability, you are still using an basic attack. These same abilities will also apply on-hit abilities as well.
cuddlykitten41 votesUnless it alters your basic attack or states specifically otherwise, no ability applies critical strike.
Leopards Ghost1 votesthank you all for the concise answers. i'll run some tests, this gives me an excellent baseline to map against.
Vistha Kai1 votesConsider no abilities are eligible for critical strikes unless stated otherwise.
The only exception to that rule is Nasus' Siphon Strike which crit, but only from the base value, not the damage from stacks.
