What am I missing about how accuracy and crits function?

Title. I'm running the blessed bleed Crysanthemum Petal + Kunai build right now, and Grettel just not only avoided a crit from my petal with sure shot, but straight up dodged the kunai... twice. Her evasion is supposedly 44, according to sense and the wiki, so how did an attack with +200 accuracy miss... twice in a row. And how did neither crit, as well. From what I understood of accuracy/evasion/critting in this game, attacking with +200 accuracy basically guarantees both a hit and a crit, and here I failed to crit twice (as far as I can tell she doesn't have a shield) and also missed half my attacks. So what is it I'm missing?






Edit: Okay I've never crit her, so she must have a shield... in which case, how can we tell if enemies have shields or not? it's not listed in the stat page in game or on the wiki, and in some cases it's clearly not reflected in their character models. Still convinced how my kunai misses with +200 accuracy though.

On the Kunai, do we know if Sure Shot carries through on both weapons or is it spent on the first weapon attack?

I'm not sure - I've never seen the kunai miss against any other target, but I suppose it's possible it doesn't. That's another nerf to dual wielding which it feels it maybe doesn't need, but fine, whatever.

modifiers from special attacks only apply to offhand weapons if the attack has the dual wield tag (see dual blitz or eviserate). so the the kunai is not getting the +200 acc. from sure shot.

Having played a crit build before, it's definitely a bit annoying not knowing which enemies have a shield.

Gotcha, thank you for info. Annoying, but whatever. A status effect of "shielded" would be really nice to tell though.
