It's random whether you get a crit or not. The normal non-crit damage doesn't matter, if you don't get a crit you're guaranteed to lose even if you hit the maximum damage range for your normal attacks. If you get even one crit, you're guaranteed to win even if you hit the minimum damage range for all your attacks including the crit. The crit doesn't necessarily defeat the enemy in one shot, there is a random damage range that gives you an illusion of difference, but in reality it doesn't matter what the damage looks like. All it comes down to is "did you crit at least once in three attacks?"

Since it's random, using the same dragon under the same circumstances will not necessarily yield the same result.

Everything is explained in detail on my blog.
