Attack Speed

From The Tower - Idle Tower Defense Wiki and Guides

Attack Speed influence the amount of projectiles that are shot from the tower per moment of time. Attack speed value is number of projectiles per 2 seconds. Attack speed also increases the travel speed of a projectile from your tower to an enemy.

Once the 'Light Speed Shots' lab research has been completed, the projectiles will travel at the maximum movement speed possible, and therefor their travel speed is no longer affected by Attack Speed.

Attack Speed Formula[edit | edit source]

To get the value used in game, avoid any rounding.

Displayed Attack Speed = (Workshop x Lab x Card + Module Sub Effect) x Enhancement
