His max range on his 'sader was 3684, and his max damage on Green Snails was 7.2k (no combo). His highest observed critical hit was 8.5k. That doesn't fit with +20%, but it does fit within the range of 1.2x. Of course, more data is needed to confirm.
Max Range 3684. Max damage 7200; Before defense, 8000. Skill% = 218%. Highest observed critical 8500. Before defense 9444. Skill% = 256%. 256%-218%=38%. 256/218=1.17. No, it does not fit in the range of 1.2x. Yes, it does fit in the range of +20%~+50%. If it's multiplicative, he should be able to hit over 9000. No joke. He should actually be able to hit over 10000 though, but if it's additive, it won't go higher than ~8952.
Multiplicative Critical Range after defense: 6127~10942
Additive Critical Range after defense: 5570~8952
Therefore, if he can hit below 6127, it is additive. If he can hit over 8952, it is multiplicative.
