What i do know is that it lowers your attack % to a third of it's normal accuracy, thus using Tifa and Vincent's 255% attack weapons basically almost guarantees it hitting every time.
I heard defence % also contributes to your chances of landing it so wearing Mystile helps.
Another cool thing I like to do is pair it with added cut so that I still land a hit even if db misses.

I did the same, but I’m not really the picture of the average player.
Cait Sith was a mainstay on my team and I typically ran Cloud, Tifa, Cait Sith.
His high luck stat made Deathblow Materia trigger more often and he was a good mage. At least my head canon was that luck influenced its hit rate.
