Attack Speed or ASPD is the number determining how fast a character attacks. This parameter mainly deals with a character's auto-attacks, but it also acts to determine the Animation Delay of certain skills.
The maximum possible ASPD value is 193 for characters over level 100, and 190 for characters below level 100.
The amount of hits your character makes is calculated as such: 50 / (200-FinalASPD) hits per second
Which means, a character with 193 ASPD will do 50/7 = 7.14 attacks per second.
Formula
NovaRO's ASPD formula is based on KRO, which is very different from iRO's formula. You can expect to find it somewhat more difficult to attain higher ASPD here.
A Character's ASPD is calculated as follows:
| ASPD Formula
|
| ASPD1
|
Base ASPD - Weapon/Shield Penalty + Stat Bonus + (Status Bonus* AGI/200)
|
| ASPD2
|
(195 - ASPD1) * %ASPD + ASPD1
|
| Final ASPD
|
ASPD2 + Flat Bonus
|
Which takes these following parameters into account:
- Base ASPD: A base number determined by the character's class.
- Weapon/Shield Penalty: A penalty based on the character's class and the weapon/shield being equipped.
- Stat Bonus: bonus based on a Character's AGI and DEX.
- Status Bonus: bonuses from status effects bestowed by ASPD potions and certain skills.
- %ASPD: Percentage bonuses from certain skills, items and equipments such as
Two-Hand Quicken,
Enriched Celermine Juice and
Cenere Card.
- Flat Bonus: bonuses in the form of flat additions gained from certain equipment.
The Stat ASPD bonus is calculated differently depending on weapon type:
| Bows, Instruments, Whips, and Firearms |
Other weapons
|
| √(DEX²/7 + AGI²/2) / 4
|
√(DEX²/5 + AGI²/2) / 4
|
Examples
| Example 1
|
A Rune Knight with a Two-Handed Sword, using Two-Hand Quicken and Berserk Potion:
- Class: Rune Knight
- Base ASPD: 156
- Weapon/Shield Penalty:
- Status Bonuses:
- Two-Hand Quicken: 7
- ASPD Potion: 9
- Stat Bonuses:
- Total AGI: 150
- Total DEX: 90
Calculation:
- ASPD1 = 156 - 15 + (√(90²/5 + 150²/2) / 4) + ( (7 + 9) * 150/200 )
- ASPD1 = 156 - 15 + 28 + 12
- ASPD1 = 181
- Final ASPD = 181
|
| Example 2
|
A Ranger with a Bow, wearing the full White Wing set (ASPD +2), using an Awakening Potion:
- Class: Ranger
- Base ASPD: 156
- Weapon/Shield Penalty:
- Status Bonuses:
- Stat Bonuses:
- Total AGI: 175
- Total DEX: 180
- Flat Bonus: 2
Calculation:
- ASPD1 = 156 - 9 + (√(180²/7 + 175²/2) / 4) + (6 * 175/200)
- ASPD1 = 156 - 9 + 35 + 5
- ASPD1 = 187
- Final ASPD = 187 + 2
|
| Example 3
|
A Guillotine Cross with double daggers, stacking various %ASPD and Flat bonuses, using Awakening Potion and Celermine Juice:
- Class: Guillotine Cross
- Base ASPD: 156
- Weapon/Shield Penalty:
- Dagger: -2
- Dagger (left hand): -10
- Status Bonuses:
- Stat Bonuses:
- Total AGI: 170
- Total DEX: 20
- %ASPD: 52%
- Flat Bonus: 4
Calculation:
- ASPD1 = 156 - 19 + (√(20²/5 + 170²/2) / 4) + (6 * 170/200)
- ASPD1 = 156 - 12 + 30 + 5
- ASPD1 = 179
- ASPD2 = (195 - 179) * 52% + 179
- ASPD2 = 8 + 179
- ASPD2 = 187
- Final ASPD = 187 + 4
|
| Example 4
|
A Rebel with a Gatling Gun stacking some %ASPD and Flat bonuses, using Berserk Potion, Celermine Juice, and Heat Barrel(ASPD +5):
- Class: Rebel
- Base ASPD: 146
- Weapon/Shield Penalty:
- Status Bonuses:
- Single Action: 5
- ASPD Potion: 9
- Stat Bonuses:
- Total AGI: 120
- Total DEX: 170
- %ASPD: 28%
- Flat Bonus: 6
Calculation:
- ASPD1 = 146 + 3 + (√(170²/7 + 120²/2) / 4) + ( (5 + 9) * 120/200)
- ASPD1 = 146 + 3 + 26 + 8
- ASPD1 = 183
- ASPD2 = (195 - 183) * 28% + 183
- ASPD2 = 3 + 183
- ASPD2 = 186
- Final ASPD = 186 + 6
