Revision as of 13:44, 21 September 2013

Marth's attack speed exceeds the enemy Fighter's attack speed enough to allow him to double-attack.

Attack speed (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 double-attack them. 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.

In New Mystery of the Emblem and Awakening, weapon weight has been removed and attack speed is now calculated solely based on the speed of the two units.
