It's a bit fallacious to say that no boss in Coil crits. They *can* crit, but the only attacks that NPCs (any NPC, not just bosses or NPCs in Coil) use that can score crits are their auto-attacks. Given that auto-attacks make up a very small portion of their total damage and/or risk of killing the tank, the amount that crits will affect you in Coil is negligible.

Against Twintania, some people will actually counsel you to use Awareness for Death Sentences because, while Death Sentence might not be able to crit, the auto-attacks before and after it most definitely *can*. When you're surviving an attack by less than 1-2k hp, a critical hit *could* actually kill you when a normal hit would not have. The issue that arises is whether those attacks would have crit if you'd had Awareness up, given that enemies have remarkably low crit rates.

I have actually been killed by getting spiked and then crit in coil (in both t1 from Cad and t4 from 4 stack dread; nothing the ADS uses can crit though, afaik) so I wouldn't say that it's *worthless*. Since you can't really predict when the RNG is going to decide to give you a bad time nor can you assume that it will occur at a rate in which you'll have Awareness up for it, Awareness does have severely limited value.

As such, it's *bad*, but it's not completely worthless. Just mostly worthless.
