Attack Speed Increase
ATK SPD is a very important stat, ATK SPD directly converts to attacks per second, which means 2 ATK SPD is 2 attacks per second.
You may have noticed that your passive attack speed bonus increases the ATK SPD by a bit more than expected, this is because of a couple things:
- Fairy Bow
- Treasures
- Pets
- Active Skills
All of these magnify the passive attack speed increases coming from Eagles, Tigers, Frogs, and Indys. The formula for increase in ATK SPD looks like this:
- Base ATK SPD x (Your Fairy Bow x2 + Treasure + Pet + Active skill) x In-game passive attack speed increase
Another thing you may have noticed from the formula is that Fairy Bow's value is actually twice of what it says it is. Meaning for example, a level 1 Fairy Bow is actually a 16% attack speed increase instead of 8%.
Because of the multiplicative effect between active and passive attack speed buffs, you will want Tiger Master (for Shout) and/or Penguin Musician (for Allegro) to further benefit from your passive attack speed increase effects.
Note that Shout and Allegro stack with each other but not with themselves. Ie. Two Tigers Shout-ing at the same time will only contribute 20% to the calculation and not 40% but a Shout and an Allegro at the same time will contribute 40%. Hence only one of each is needed, which makes them a worthwhile investment for minimal population capacity.
Keep in mind that these active skills have a range, so they will not be able to affect the whole field unlike the passive attack speed increases, and they will have downtime due to being a chance-based skill.
