How to find and change a probability within a game

I haven't been able to find any conclusive answer online, but does anyone know how to do this?
For more context:
There is a status in the game I am playing that has a 70% chance to activate on a critical hit or a 30% chance to activate on a weakness hit.
I want to find the address or whatever handles the probability and change the 30% to a 100% chance.
I don't know what value type to search for and have very limited knowledge with how CE works and there are no topics I could find where this was answered and no video guides online.
The only thought I currently have is to scan for 0 and 1 to see if I can find the address that shows whether the status is active or not, but I don't know if that will work and if it does I am unsure where to go from then on.
I would really appreciate any help. <3

I am not too sure. It is Shin Megami Tensei 4 and I'm emulating it on Citra since it's a 3DS game.

Make sure to enable MEM_MAPPED in Cheat Engine's settings when scanning for values on emulators. You could try doing a byte search. 1 on which the activation happens. Then 0 when it doesn't. Good luck!

That is what I was thinking of maybe trying. I don't really know where I would go from there to try find the specific probabilities behind it and alter them. Thank you I appreciate it! <3
