This page lists the base and minimum delays of all melee and ranged weapons weapons and the skill level required to reach this minimum.
  
−
Most weapons have minimum attack delays of 5, 6, or 7 [[aut]]s, except [[crossbows]] and [[quick blade]]s, which have minimum delays of 10 and 3 respectively. The minimum delay can be calculated as <code>min(base delay / 2, 7)</code>. The only exceptions are [[rapier]]s, which can reach 5 despite having a base delay of 12, the three types of crossbows which can only reach 10, and [[stone]]s and [[tomahawk]]s which are capped at 7.

==Useful Info==
 +
Every weapon has a base delay. For every 2 levels in the corresponding weapon [[skill]], your attack delay is reduced by 1 [[aut]] (ie. 0.1 [[decaAut]]), until it reaches the minimum delay.

For every 2 skill levels in a skill, your attack delay is reduced by 1 aut. This determines the skill required to reach the minimum delay.

Most weapons have minimum attack delays of 5, 6, or 7 aut. The minimum delay is the smaller of (base delay / 2) and 7, with a few exceptions:
 +
*[[Rapier]]s and [[quick blade]]s, which reach 5 to match other [[Short Blades]].
 +
*Crossbows ([[hand crossbow]]s, [[arbalest]]s, [[triple crossbow]]s), which have a mindelay of 10.
 +
*[[Stone]]s, [[dart]]s, and [[boomerang]]s, which are capped at 7.
  
 +
[[Unarmed Combat]] works differently. For every 5.4 skill levels, unarmed attack delay is reduced by 1 aut. Therefore, Unarmed Combat starts at 10 delay and reaches 5 delay at skill 27.

Version 0.31: 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.

This page lists the base and minimum delays of all melee and ranged weapons weapons and the skill level required to reach this minimum.

Useful Info

Every weapon has a base delay. For every 2 levels in the corresponding weapon skill, your attack delay is reduced by 1 aut (ie. 0.1 decaAut), until it reaches the minimum delay.

Most weapons have minimum attack delays of 5, 6, or 7 aut. The minimum delay is the smaller of (base delay / 2) and 7, with a few exceptions:

Unarmed Combat works differently. For every 5.4 skill levels, unarmed attack delay is reduced by 1 aut. Therefore, Unarmed Combat starts at 10 delay and reaches 5 delay at skill 27.

Modifiers

Some factors may further alter weapons' speed:

  • Speed-branded weapons, which reduce the attack delay of a weapon by 33% at all skill levels.
  • Heavy-branded weapons, which increase attack delay by 50% at all skill levels.
  • Haste or Berserk multiplies all delays by 66%.
  • Finesse halves all attack delays. Does not stack with haste/berserk.
  • If you are wearing a shield you may suffer some penalties. See Shields.
  • Ranged weapons are also encumbered by body armour. See Ranged Weapons.

Delays are rounded randomly in a weighted manner (if delay = 3.4, there is a 40% for 4 aut and 60% for 3 aut).

In-game display

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

  • Viewing the weapon in the inventory will display its current average delay.
  • The @ command will print your average attack delay.
  • The turn counter in the stat area will display the time your last action took in parentheses next to the total time the game has taken. Using ctrl+direction to swing at nothing a few times should give you a pretty good indication of your attack delay.

The former two commands display the average attack speed, to the nearest aut. If your attack delay is not an integer, it'll semi-randomly round up and down.

See Also

See individual weapon articles for more information about a given weapon.

History

  • Prior to 0.17, unarmed combat was penalized by armour.
  • Prior to 0.15, ranged weapons used a completely different delay formula: Base delay - Weapon Skill*4*Average Stat/250.
  • 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.
