Scimitar only grants crit chance up to itself?

Hello there,

Nice to see a fellow Scot here, assuming the other checkbox didn't move too!

Firstly, if the capital ship you are using is Thrawn's Chimaera (I can never be sure of whether it's Executrix or Chimaera on the battle screen), then the critical chance buff that your Scimitar has is from Chimaera's reinforcement bonus, part of the "Fierce Loyalty" ability, granting Critical Chance Up for 2 turns, and not one from of Scimitar's abilities.

Scimitar adjusts the Critical Chance for all allies, but it is not a visual "buff" like the one granted by Chimaera, it is a direct change to the stats of allies, and does not expire until the Scimitar is defeated. So to answer your question, yes it's "invisible".

It works in the same way as R2D2's "Number Crunch", which grants allies extra protection, health, potency and offence based on R2's stats, but there is no green buff icon indicating those bonuses are in effect.

Hope this helps!
