Version 0.14: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.


See Attack speed, for an in-depth article on attack delay.

Attacking with a weapon with a listed attack delay of, for example, 150%, uses 15 units of time (on a scale where most actions take 10 units). Each two levels of weapon skill cut the delay by 1 unit down to a minimum that depends on weapon type.

The following table lists the base attack delay of melee weapons, the minimum possible delay, and the skill level required to reach this minimum. Note that all weapons eventually reach delay 7 except hand crossbows, arbalests and triple crossbows.

The minimum delay is base delay divided by 2 rounding down. If that number is greater than 7, truncate to 7. The only exceptions are cutlasses, which can reach 5, and the three types of crossbows which can only reach 10.

For weapons of speed, multiply the numbers by 2/3 rounding up or down randomly.

Finesse halves all attack delays rounding up or down randomly.

Haste or Berserk rage multiplies delays by 2/3 (but not if Finesse is active), rounding up or down randomly. Delay can never go below 2.

If you are wearing a shield you may suffer some penalties, see Shields.

In-game display

There are two different ways to obtain some information about your attack speed.

  • When the options show_gold_turns and show_game_turns are true, the turn counter in the stat area will display the exact value of the delay of your last action.
  • The @ command will print a description of your attack speed:
Attack speed description Attack delay
blindingly fast <3.4
extremely fast 3.5-4.4
very fast 4.5-5.4
quite fast 5.5-7.4
above average 7.5-9.4
average 9.5-10.4
below average 10.5-12.4
quite slow 12.5-15.4
very slow 15.5-19.9
extremely slow >=20

History

Prior to 0.15 ranged weapons used a completely different delay formula.

Prior to 0.14, the speed brand halved your attack delay rounding up, and decreased pre-AC damage by 10%.

Prior to 0.13, Finesse had no effect on non-blowgun throwing weapons.
