'''Attack speed''' (Japanese: {{hl|攻撃速度|Kōgeki sokudo}} ''attack speed''), abbreviated '''AS''' (Japanese: {{hl|攻速|Kō-soku}}), is a calculation based on a [[unit]]'s [[speed]] which acts as their practical speed stat in battle. In all games until {{FE11}}, attack speed factors in the [[weight (weapon)|weight]] of a unit's weapon, simulating the bulk of heavier weapons encumbering them in battle more than lighter weapons, with the effect thereof in turn mitigated by a unit's [[strength]] or [[constitution|physical bulk]] in games from {{title|Thracia 776}} onward.

Attack speed is also used in turn in a unit's [[avoid]] calculation, directly impacting a unit's ability to dodge oncoming attacks in conjunction with other factors, including [[terrain]] benefits and a unit's [[luck]] stat.

In {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}}, attack speed can be negative. This is not true in any other games.
In {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} only, attack speed can be negative.


From {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}} through {{title|Fates}}, weapon weight is not present and attack speed is calculated solely based on the [[speed]] of the two units.

''Fates'' includes a similar mechanic known as '''effective speed'''<!--no Japanese equivalent-->. Unlike attack speed, effective speed only affects follow-up attacking, and can be one-sided. For example, steel weapons affect the wielder's ability to follow up, but not their foe's ability to follow up; as well, certain weapons such as [[Excalibur]] raise both the wielder's and the foe's ability to follow up.

In {{FE17}}, attack speed is presented as the speed stat with a debuff from weapon weight.
