Lucky Hit in Diablo 4 is the proc system for secondary effects. Here's how it works.
What is Lucky Hit
Every skill has a Lucky Hit Chance %. When you hit, there's a chance to trigger an extra effect (freeze, stun, resource restore, etc.).
How It Works
- Formula: Lucky Hit Chance × Skill Proc Chance
- Cap: 100% Lucky Hit Chance (no diminishing returns)
- Effects: Freeze, Stun, Knockback, Resource Restore, etc.
Best Lucky Hit Effects
- Cold Imbuement (Rogue): freeze procs
- Chain Lightning (Sorcerer): stun procs
- Earth Spike (Druid): slow procs
Best Lucky Hit Builds
- Rogue Cold Imbuement — freeze everything
- Sorcerer Chain Lightning — constant stuns
