||
− | '''Attack Speed''' refers to the speed at which Melee weapons attack and determines how frequently a melee weapon can attack within a particular time span. |
||
+ | '''Attack Speed''' is the rate of a melee weapon's strikes. It is derived from three attributes: |
||
+ | #The attack animation for the given weapon class |
||
+ | #The weapon's listed attack speed modifier |
||
+ | #Increases to attack speed from mods |
||
+ | ==Mechanics== |
||
− | Melee Attack Speed is derived from the weapon's '''Attack Animation''', which is the set of actions which a Melee weapon performs when attacking, e.g. swinging the weapon, with an animation taking up a set amount of time to complete. The listed Attack Speed for Melee weapons is a modifier that alters the speed at which said animation is executed. For instance, a Melee weapon with an Attack Speed of 1.0 runs its attack animation at its default speed, while a Melee weapon with an Attack Speed of 1.2 runs the animation 20% faster, and a weapon with 0.8 Attack Speed runs the animation at only 80% of the default speed. |
||
+ | Each general melee class follows a standard '''attack animation''' which controls baseline striking speed. [[:Category:Polearm|Polearms]] have a slower standard attack animation than the [[:Category:Sword|swords]], for example. Specific weapons (such as the {{Weapon|Cronus}} of the sword type) each have their own base '''attack speed modifier''' which alters the rate of the attack animation. An attack speed of 1.0 runs its attacks at default speed. An attack speed of 1.2 executes 20% faster, while a speed of 0.8 runs 20% slower. Attack speed is then further increased (or decreased) by attack speed mods and ability buffs, giving us the following basic equation: |
||
+ | <math> |
||
− | Different classes of Melee weapons have different Attack Animation which require different lengths of time to complete, thus the actual Attack Speed is different between weapon classes regardless of the actual value shown; ex. despite the [[Fragor]] [[:Category:Hammer|Hammer]] and [[Karyst]] [[:Category:Dagger|Dagger]] both having listed Attack Speeds of 0.8, the Karyst's actual Attack Speed is still faster than the Fragor's due to Hammers having slower Attack Animations. |
||
+ | \text{Modified Animation Length} = \text{Base Attack Animation Length} \times {\text{Base Weapon Attack Speed} \times (1 + \text{Attack Speed Bonuses} )} |
||
+ | </math> |
||
+ | ::''Where Base Attack Animation Length is based on the time it takes to complete an attack at Attack Speed of 1.0'' |
||
+ | Note that certain effects can further change attack speed in special ways. The {{M|Berserker Fury}} mod, for example, multiplies the total attack speed value rather than stacking additively with attack speed bonuses from mods. |
||
− | Faster Attack Speeds are beneficial for enhancing a melee weapon's overall damage potential; both from the frequency of its normal attacks, and the ability to land more hits for a melee weapon's [[Melee 2.0#Combo Counter|Combo Counter]] to further increase its damage. Attack Speed also affects the speed at which [[Stance#Melee Combos|Melee Combos]] are executed, although the increased animation speed means that the timing to execute said combos become tighter. |
||
+ | Recall that attack animations vary between weapon types. Despite the {{Weapon|Fragor}} ([[:Category:Hammer|Hammer]]) and {{Weapon|Karyst}} ([[:Category:Dagger|Dagger]]) both having listed speeds of 0.8, the Karyst's actual speed is faster than the Fragor's due to daggers having a faster attack animation. |
||
− | Certain weapons like the [[Glaive]] and [[Redeemer]] have [[Fire Rate#Charged Weapons|Charged Attack]] mechanics identical to ranged weapons, which is also affected by the weapon's Attack Speed values, with faster attack speeds allowing for faster charge times. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Faster attack speeds enhance a melee weapon's overall damage potential and utility by: |
||
+ | *producing more strikes at a given time, increasing damage per second dealt |
||
+ | *quickening melee [[Melee Combo|Combo Counter]] gain for {{M|Blood Rush}} and {{M|Weeping Wounds}} and its heavy attack damage multiplier |
||
+ | *giving more chances for [[Status Effect]] procs |
||
+ | *hastening stance attacks which knockback or disable the target through staggers/ragdolls |
||
+ | |||
+ | Changes in attack speed apply to [[Melee 2.0#Finishers|finishers]], as well as the ''animation'' of [[Melee 2.0#Heavy Attack|heavy attacks]] but not the actual wind up time. However, weapons with ranged charge mechanics such as the {{Weapon|Glaive}} and {{Weapon|Redeemer}} are affected, with faster speeds allowing for faster charge times. |
||
+ | |||
+ | All base weapon attack speeds are in fractions of X / 60. This means despite attack speed values listed in the UI, the true values have longer repeating decimals. |

Attack Speed is the rate of a melee weapon's strikes. It is derived from three attributes:
- The attack animation for the given weapon class
- The weapon's listed attack speed modifier
- Increases to attack speed from mods
Mechanics
Each general melee class follows a standard attack animation which controls baseline striking speed. Polearms have a slower standard attack animation than the swords, for example. Specific weapons (such as the Cronus of the sword type) each have their own base attack speed modifier which alters the rate of the attack animation. An attack speed of 1.0 runs its attacks at default speed. An attack speed of 1.2 executes 20% faster, while a speed of 0.8 runs 20% slower. Attack speed is then further increased (or decreased) by attack speed mods and ability buffs, giving us the following basic equation:
- Where Base Attack Animation Length is based on the time it takes to complete an attack at Attack Speed of 1.0
Note that certain effects can further change attack speed in special ways. The Berserker Fury mod, for example, multiplies the total attack speed value rather than stacking additively with attack speed bonuses from mods.
Recall that attack animations vary between weapon types. Despite the Fragor (Hammer) and Karyst (Dagger) both having listed speeds of 0.8, the Karyst's actual speed is faster than the Fragor's due to daggers having a faster attack animation.
Faster attack speeds enhance a melee weapon's overall damage potential and utility by:
- producing more strikes at a given time, increasing damage per second dealt
- quickening melee Combo Counter gain for Blood Rush and Weeping Wounds and its heavy attack damage multiplier
- giving more chances for Status Effect procs
- hastening stance attacks which knockback or disable the target through staggers/ragdolls
Changes in attack speed apply to finishers, as well as the animation of heavy attacks but not the actual wind up time. However, weapons with ranged charge mechanics such as the Glaive and Redeemer are affected, with faster speeds allowing for faster charge times.
All base weapon attack speeds are in fractions of X / 60. This means despite attack speed values listed in the UI, the true values have longer repeating decimals.

Maximum Possible Attack Speed
Note that all attack speed bonus is additive unless otherwise stated. This list does not take into account Riven Mods.
- +5% from the Fragor's Brokk skin
- +10% from Excalibur's Swordsmanship passive
- +15% from Lesion's proc bonus
- +30% from Gladiator Vice
- +40% from Quickening
- +60% from Arcane Strike
- +70% from Berserker Fury
- +~645.16% from Valkyr's Warcry
- Maximized via +399% Strength, +80% Strength from Equinox's Provoke augmented with Peaceful Provocation (additive), and 2.485x Strength multiplier from Nidus' Parasitic Link
- To achieve this, Equinox must first cast Pacify & Provoke with Peaceful Provocation in Day form, then Nidus' cast Parasitic Link onto Valkyr.
- +~657.58% from Volt's Speed
- Maximized via +409% Strength, +80% Strength from Equinox's Provoke augmented with Peaceful Provocation (additive), and from 2.485x Strength multiplier from Nidus' Parasitic Link
This amounts to a maximum possible bonus of:
- 16.0274x (+1,502.74%) for the average Warframe
- 16.0774x (+1,507.74%) for the Fragor (with any Warframe except Excalibur equipped)
- 16.1274x (+1,512.74%) for Excalibur
- 16.1774x (+1,517.74%) for the Lesion (with any Warframe except Excalibur equipped)
Other Attack Speed Modifiers
- The Cold Status Effect slows down a unit's movement speed and Attack Speed.
