attack speed

Combat tempo measure

Attack speed is a video game stat measuring how quickly a character or weapon strikes.

Higher attack speed means more hits per second, often traded off against damage per hit.

Players optimize attack speed for different builds: The dagger has low damage but insane attack speed.

Also appears as a verb phrase: That buff attack speeds your whole party.
