Attack speed

Explanation

The Attack Speed bonus increases the player's attack speed.

Maximum Bonus

Each class and gender has its own individual maximum animation speed.

Maximum Animation Speed

• The maximum animation speed is the attack speed at which the damage no longer increases.

Warrior 1-Handed 2-Handed M F M F On foot 168 171 165 170 On horseback 169 169 165 165	Ninja 1-Handed Dagger Bow M F M F M F On foot 167 167 169 169 169 169 On horseback 158 169 169 169 169 168
Sura 1-Handed M F On foot 169 169 On horseback 157 160	Shaman Bell Fan M F M F On foot 169 166 169 169 On horseback 145 160 168 167
Lycan Claw M On foot 180 On horseback 165

* Higher Attack speed values might reduce damage. (Fewer hits connect) Definitely aim for the optimal value

DPS Factor

• The DPS Factor is the number of hits per second.
• The DPS Factor can be used to compare hit damage based on hit speed between classes.
• It refers to the maximum animation speed.

Warrior 1-Handed 2-Handed M F M F On foot 2.36 2.50 1.56 1.60 with Combo 2.43 2.51 1.56 1.62 On horseback 3.20 3.29 3.18 3.29	Ninja 1-Handed Dagger Bow M F M F M F On foot 2.30 2.30 3.70 3.72 1.64 1.64 with Combo 2.31 2.31 3.33 3.33 1.64 1.64 On horseback 3.07 3.07 3.10 3.11 1.10 1.10
Sura 1-Handed M F On foot 2.34 2.32 with Combo 2.46 2.46 On horseback 3.17 3.14	Shaman Bell Fan M F M F On foot 2.30 2.29 2.27 2.27 with Combo 2.37 2.37 2.46 2.47 On horseback 3.20** 3.13** 2.29 2.29
Lycan Claw M On foot 1.94 with Combo 2.00 On horseback 3.07

• How do I compare the damage between classes using the DPS Factor?

DMG = (HIT DAMAGE) * (DPS FACTOR of your class) / (DPS FACTOR of the target class)

• What does the result mean?

Suppose a male Ninja deals 26k hit damage with daggers on the Hydra.
How much damage must a male Warrior deal to achieve the same DMG?
26,000 * 3.7 / 2.43 = 39.6K
Thus, a male Warrior must deal 39.6K hit damage to cause the same DMG.

VWK DPS Factors

• The following are the DPS factors for various Transformation Orbs for Transformation.

Small/Baby Poison Spider	Wild Devotee	Wild Dog	Fanatic	Blackwind Soldier
1.84	1.72	1.69	1.60	1.51

Poison Spider	Tiger	General Huashin	Wolf	Wild Infantryman
1.50	1.415	1.415	1.375	1.32

Blackwind Possessed	Boar	Proud Orc	Monkey Soldier	Bear
1.25	1.21	1.12	1.11	1.03

Important Note

• The animation speed does not increase linearly with the increase in attack speed.
• It may happen that you hit faster with less attack speed than with higher values.
• However, the difference is often minimal and only for certain attack speed values.
• This means if you do not have the exact maximum value, you may hit slightly slower in rare cases!
