Attack Speed

Attack Speed
Type	Attributes Combat Game Systems

Attack Speed, abbreviated ATK SPD in in-game description is a modifier that alters the speed of a character's attacks.

Attack Speed bonuses come from both characters and weapons, and can be triggered by a variety of effects. Increases in attack speed will increase the DPS of the corresponding attacks, in a multiplicative way in addition to other Damage based bonuses.

Movement Speed does not increase attack speed (or vice versa).

Characters
