Mods: How to decide whether to use offense or crit sets?

I've played this game for years, and I still have very little clue about which characters need offense sets and which need critical chance/critical dmg.

I'm not talking about when the kits make it obvious what set the character in question will benefit the most from (for instance IG-86 and B1), or when certain leader abilities determine which sets the other team members should use (for instance HK-47's and Nihilus'). What I'm confused about is what the character stats should look like, for me to equip an offense mod set instead of a crit dmg set and vice versa.

One option I've tried, is to look on crouching rancor. Another is the mod meta report on swgoh.gg. But when I compare the characters that each of them recommend to use offense sets for, there's almost no overlap. I've also been thinking that attackers with the lowest base crit chance are the ones that will benefit the most from an offense set, so I've been sorting by physical crit and special crit on swgoh.gg and trying to come up with ideas. Is that a useful approach or not?

How do you guys decide?

  • A good general breakpoint is 65-70% cc.

    With lots of offense boosts from mods you could see the breakpoint get down to near 50%

    That seems like a REALLY general rule...my Palp for example has more special cc than physical. And if you mod for crit chance, for some characters you might hit the breakpoint easily.


    That's the point of a general rule, there are 6 toons with higher special crit than physical crit, and the highest special crit rating is only 400 while the highest physical crit rating is 1145. The lowest physical crit rating starts at 234 as well while there are many toons with a special crit rating of 0.

    CritChance = (CritRating / 2400) + 0.1 formula from crinolo on reddit and stats available on swgoh.gg

    So in general, if you don't want to math out the perfect mods and just want to quickly determine which set is better look at the type of damage they do.
