Attack speed (Japanese: 攻撃速度 attack speed) is a calculation based on a unit's speed which acts as their practical speed stat in battle. In all games until Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, attack speed factors in the 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 physical bulk in games from Thracia 776 onward.
The primary use of attack speed is to determine whether or not a unit is fast enough compared to their opponent to allow them to double-attack (Japanese: 追撃 pursuit; called follow-up attack in Fates). In a battle, the two participants' mutual attack speed is compared, and if one unit meets a certain threshold of higher attack speed than the other, they are allowed to double attack the opponent: to perform a second attack after both units have performed their first attacks.
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.
From New Mystery of the Emblem onward, weapon weight has been removed and attack speed is now calculated solely based on the speed of the two units. However, Fates introduced numerous weapons and skills which directly give boosts and reductions to their user's attack speed.
Fates includes a similar mechanic known as effective speed. Unlike attack speed, effective speed only affects double attacking, and can be one-sided. For example, steel weapons affect the wielder's ability to double but not his or her ability to be doubled, and certain weapons such as Excalibur raise the wielder's ability to double but also raise his or her ability to be doubled.
