krits

Krits is a slang term used in online gaming to refer to critical hits, the moments when an attack deals extra damage beyond the normal amount. The plural form krits is less common than crits, but may appear in some communities or stylized writing.

Origin and usage

The concept of critical hits originates in role-playing and action games, and the standard English spelling is crit (singular) and crits (plural). The variant krit or krits shows up as a stylistic or localized spelling in certain communities, fan content, or non-English contexts. In practice, krits describe the same mechanic: attacks that temporarily or probabilistically deal increased damage.

Context and examples

In multiplayer shooters and other competitive games, critical hits are a central mechanic or a temporary effect provided by items, abilities, or power-ups. Players might refer to a sequence of high-damage events as a run of krits or simply use the broader term crits. Some communities reserve the standard term crit for formal contexts, while krits appears in informal chat, memes, and game guides.

Notes

Because krits is an informal spelling, its meaning is highly context-dependent and not universally used. Most official documentation and many guides favor crit or crits, with krits appearing mainly in casual speech or in communities that prefer alternate spellings.
