(Update to 0.22. Remove non-delay-related information from the weapon tables and significantly improve the format of the weapon tables. Also rewrite the start of the article (could do with some more work probably).)

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.
+
This page lists the base and mimimum delays of all melee and ranged weapons weapons and the skill level required to reach this minimum.
  
−
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 crossbow]]s, [[arbalest]]s and [[triple crossbow]]s.
+
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.
  
−
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 [[cutlass]]es, which can reach 5, and the three types of crossbows which can only reach 10.
+
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.
  
−
For weapons of [[speed_(brand)|speed]], multiply the numbers by 2/3 rounding up or down randomly.
+
Some factors may further alter weapons' speed:
−
 
+
* [[Speed (brand)|Speed]]-branded weapons, reduce the attack delay of a weapon by 1/3 at all skill levels, rounding up or down randomly.
−
[[Finesse]] halves all attack delays rounding up or down randomly.
+
* [[Finesse]] halves all attack delays rounding up or down randomly.
−
 
+
* [[Haste]] or [[Berserk]] rage multiplies delays by 2/3, rounding up or down randomly. This does not stack with the effects of finesse.
−
[[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#Shield_penalties|Shields]].

Revision as of 20:08, 22 January 2019

Version 0.22: 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 mimimum 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 auts, except crossbows and quick blades, which have minimum delays of 10 and 3 respectively. The minimum delay can be calculated as min(base delay / 2, 7). The only exceptions are rapiers, which can reach 5 despite having a base delay of 12, the three types of crossbows which can only reach 10, and stones and tomahawks which are capped at 7.

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.

Some factors may further alter weapons' speed:

  • Speed-branded weapons, reduce the attack delay of a weapon by 1/3 at all skill levels, rounding up or down randomly.
  • Finesse halves all attack delays rounding up or down randomly.
  • Haste or Berserk rage multiplies delays by 2/3, rounding up or down randomly. This does not stack with the effects of finesse.
  • 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: 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.
