Understanding the Most IMPORTANT Stat | Speed Complete Guide

[@guobacertified]

Anyone else feel weirdly hungry after watching this guide? IMPORTANT NOTES: - 134 is still a great breakpoint for DPS (and certain tuning units like Bronya), and if you want to max out your build and you have the rest of the unit's stats then why not. - Speed is still important, I note that a lot. The whole concept of this vid is explaining SPD and how important it is as well as avoiding overbuilding it at the sacrifice of other stats. - Another important note FOR speed is that many enemies are very fast in the endgame, and speed translates to easier sustain as well as more DPS actions inbetween their actions to save your team / BREAK the enemy / kill the enemy. - Break units want SPD too since their DMG will scale on BE for DMG and Speed technically since more actions means faster breaks. - A note AGAINST speed pre end game is that it's one of the rarest main stats and substats. - SPD is less diluted with buffs since we got TONS of ATK%, DMG%, etc. so it's still really nice to have SPD boots, but ofc not mandatory which is the point. - SPD is useful outside of MOC of course, but there aren't specific breakpoints for that, so it's kinda build with what you got

something quite helpful to know is that the speed substats have decimals that are not shown ingame, so technically blade and bronya could both have 134 speed but blade will have a turn before her as long as he has one decimal higher

My smolbrain mindset for speed: just make the supports faster than the dps unless bronya haha. Great video Guoba.

Yknow that works

[@hershyijustshatmyself9253]

Same mindset here. Just make buff/debuffers faster than DPS so they can do their thing while healers/tanks can go whatever lol

[@dohalimilqarasdeldemenanci8483]

​@homudarkhow is a Bronya faster than the dps better in most cases? That just sounds wrong to me, maybe coz i dont have Bronya. Isn't better in most cases for the dps to go first so Bronya can give them a second turn?

[@Limrick1029]

@@dohalimilqarasdeldemenanci8483Fast Bronya still does that while also generating skill points, or giving even more turns. Slow Bronya also crumbles to CC super hard, while Fast Bronya kinda automatically corrects the rotation.

[@Kindi001]

​​@@dohalimilqarasdeldemenanci8483the idea of fast bronya is to make her SP netural by doing normal attack once, and after normal attack bronya position will be under you main carry and able do to her skill. this also greatly effect her energy regeneration too. so more buff uptime, also can have kore 'free' turn in case shit happen. depends on your playstyle. i see ome pople always use asta with LC that give energy and ER rope to make asta always give 52 speed (ye she E6) so the other dps character can use atk boots or something to increase their dmg. also luocha with 210 speed after buff is funny

[@TheTablet314]

It's worth pointing out that for some rotations, the relative speeds of team members matter (notably slow DHIL) and adding flat speed to all of them can mess up your rotation.

[@onedayiwillbegone2366]

For those that don't want to do too much thinking. Just go full spd as long as they are supports, and depending who benefits from whose buffs, make them go first. More spd, more sp, more energy. However, only aim for thresholds, such as 143 instead of 141 not worth it if spd are at awkward numbers. DPS will always be the slowest to min-max damage. Don't have to think too much. (This is if you use Asta/Bronya, if you need spd boots, then you need spd tuning)

[@Astelock87]

This is some god tier speed guide right here, never understood the breakpoints in general so I always assumed 134 was required for every unit, tysm

[@xXLordYggdrasillXx]

It is best to think of SPD like an additional multiplier for your damage in my opinion. So like with other damage multipliers like attack%, crit or damage%, you want to diversify. Going all in on SPD and neglecting other offensive stats at the same time will lead to less damage overall. Likewise ignoring SPD in favour of more crit or attack will also be bad (except for units like Clara whos SPD is essentially the enemies SPD or abusing Bronyas SPD to effectively giving her SPD to an ally). Thats why it is usually the norm to use a crit chest, SPD boots, damage orb and attack rope. So you have every commonly available form of damage multiplier in about equal amounts to maximize damage. The only difference is that SPD only scales linearly in an infinite duration fight. In reality fights only last a finite number of turns and cycles. Thats why breakpoints exist and are worth considering. If having 136 SPD does not actually give you an additional turn over having 134 SPD, the one substat roll in SPD is effectively wasted and would give you marginally more damage if it was a crit or attack sub instead.

[@INTJ791]

you forget other than clara, slow danheng IL team plus gepard no need speed, since you want ensure to spam fulgurant leap

[@xXLordYggdrasillXx]

@@INTJ791 Yeah there are other units as well that are specific about their SPD. I was just listing a few examples, nothing comprehensive. SPD has more interactions with other gameplay mechanics like SP and turns, so it is a bit harder to generalize than crit or attack who are mostly self contained mechanics.

[@Bob-ik1jj]

Clearest explanation of the topic I have come across so far. Excellent job!

[@lancezheng504]

spd is a team stat. you don't build spd for a character, you build it for an entire team. which is why it tend to be quite difficult to answer "how much spd" on a given character. and often end up with 134 for two turns in the first cycle barring some obvious exceptions. also, that chocolate bar analogy is quite interesting. never thought of spd that way before. I still prefer the running laps analogy where we treat that 10,000 units as the length of one lap and AV would naturally become a time unit. spd * time = distance traveled and its variants are some very straight forward formulas that everyone can understand, hopefully, and IMO very intuitive since the stat here is literally speed. but as long as it does its job, any analogy works.

[@shadycat8898]

Outside of niche speed checkpoints like 140 Jing Yuan or Bronya speeds, the most relevant speed check to me is for the planar ornaments that need speed. We may get even more relics in the future that want a certain speed, so they are good minimums to aim for if using those relics.

[@SerothTalon]

This is something I've been saying for a while. Speed is important. But unless you are min/maxing for time sensitive content, it is more important to hit thresholds for your relics and set priorities for your turn order than to chase the biggest number you can reach. And a character that moves often but provides little value on their turn might as well be an empty slot.

Thanks for making this video Guoba! I realized that I was reading the speed breakpoint chart wrong and thought that 134 was a lot better than just the extra turn on C0. I can stop sweating over getting 134 at all cost vs 121 with better stats now

[@guobacertified]

It is better than just the extra turn c0, with the 4th and 7th cycle, but since 121 can still get two bonus actions then yeah it’s not as magical

[@Js_ping]

i dont believe this video pop up in my recommendation today. I was searching for a speed guide all day yesterday. tq so much for this video and the spreadsheet

[@guobacertified]

No problemo !

[@blueicer101]

This helps! Thanks, basically if you can sacrifice a little to get to the next speed breakpoint, it will be beneficial to do so as turns are strong for clearing content. An extra turn is strong as it almost doubles your output compared to a stronger turn due to extra stats but characters like seele who get extra turns anyway, speed doesn't actually multiply their damage like attack or crit stats would. Or characters like Clara where almost all of their damage at e1 is in her counters which happen regardless of how many turns she takes benefit 0 from her speed and may lose her ultimate stacks as a result of taking too many turns. Like I thought, this game is extremely well designed as each character wants different things. And the speed stat isn't worth over investing in as the benefit comes from multiplying useful turns. It follows differentiation rules where if you have multiple variables multiplying each other, to maximize the AxBxCxD, you'd want to invest is all of them about equally and leave out the stats the characters don't scale with.

[@wkmirai969]

the weird thing with speed right now is, the moment u get cc or delay, all the spd break point go out of the windows and there is only 1 way to side step this which is either get high spd or get spd buff and advanced forward to mitigate this effect

[@wkmirai969]

slow unit are even more fragile to delay/slow/cc effect in the game, that why when ur slow balde get cc/delay it feel much more awful vs a 135 spd balde and the reason why ppl dont build spd IL is not cause it do less dmg but cause we litterally cant support him with enough sp to build high spd IL, high spd always have better advantage since the enemies play by YOUR rules instead of the other way around when u have to REACT to what enemy doing. The recent planar infinity show the important of spd/advanced forward stat in contents that doesnt have cycle refresh like MoC when a new wave spawn in

I see someone make another great simplification of speed and action values: Imagine a race track and everyone starts running to the end to take their actions, SPD determines how fast you can finish a lap while Advance Forward/Delay is akin to being teleported ahead/backwards on the track

And then I just don’t like to chase spd, becuz eventually everyone will reach a point where the content is just too easy and you’ll rather want to do more dmg than go more turns

I think you mean cycle, but yeah they are some nice breakpoints

[@sacrashin]

One little suggestion for the speed spreadsheet regarding Jingliu: Since you mentioned E2 Bronya with DHIL, I think it's also worth adding her to Jingliu, since Jingliu wants Bronya even more than DHIL. For those who have E2 Bronya with Jingliu: 147 speed is a really good breakpoint for Bronya (that's the minimum speed for 4 extra turns within 7 cycles, technically 146,7 but just aim for 147), and for Jingliu aim for ~120 speed, which ends up at 148 speed after Bronya buff. Be aware though, that you'll need really fast and as SP positive as possible characters for the other two team slots because even though Jingliu doesn't consume many SP on herself, this speedy Bronya + Jingliu combo is quite SP hungry. Another, harder to achieve, breakpoint would be 160+ speed, which would give you another extra turn (5 extra turns in total) over 7 cycles. Not too hard to achieve for Bronya, but hard for atk boots Jingliu, so you'd either run her with speed boots again or you have another source of speed buff that has 100% uptime (with the above mentioned numbers you'd roughly need 12% speed, if you know, you know..). Also not really related to Jingliu and Bronya, but 147 speed is an important breakpoint for teams with E6 Asta, which I think is worth mentioning. Asta can give 53 speed for the whole team with 100% uptime (needs skill spam though, so not feasible for all teams), so all characters with 147 speed will end up with 200 speed, which is basically the golden number that gives double turns in every cycle.

[@guobacertified]

TY! :D and yeah anemone is great

[@chatea]

I think it should also be said that higher speed can also equate to safer or comfier runs, not just for min-max 0-cycling. By that I mean if on the first turn the enemies are already attacking you before you take your turn then your rotation would be different already. Some of your units may even die if say you have a slow Fu Xuan and she doesn't have her matrix up yet. I do hope also this video of yours doesn't end up being used as justification to not aim for 134 or high speed in general because the vid thumbnail alone implies that.

[@sayorimiko]

Personally my own Fu Xuan is very fast, but if your Fu Xuan is slow, you can still have the matrix at the start of many content by using technique before entering the domain/challenge. It also works for SU encounters and occurrences. This is especially important for those FXs who couldn't reach the 7k HP/1.4k Def breakpoint because of speed boots.

My Fu Xuan is at 115 speed and I can agree I need at least to be at 120-121 I think

Enjoying your content for the characters as well when it helps boil down the information that can be gained from buildsites that give me a base level information of BiS gear. But now that Sparkle has kinda shifted the game, what would be a good number to shoot for her? I'd think the 134 would be the ideal but could stack more crit damage if only needing 121.

The only two characters I've deliberately built to go fast are Bronya and Tingyun.

Let me tell you, a slow-as-hell Jingliu with 3500+ ATK and a 146 SPD Bronya will shred anything and everything you put in front of them. The non-Bronya team usually has Asta, so they don't really need any dedicated speed boots. I've gotten close to a 0-cycle, but the best I've managed was a 1-cycle on MoC 10 (killed the boss with DoT on literally the first action after the cycle rolled over, I was furious).

[@ekubo1549]

For anyone who might get confused with how cycles work what I do is think of the cycle itself as an enemy character with 150AV. And then just like how regular enemies work, it'll have its action when the timer icon appears on the action bar, having more speed or less action value than it would mean you take your turns before it, and you want to take more turns than it because the lose condition from this enemy is the number of actions it takes(number of cycles)

As a Fu Xuan user, I do not want her to go faster since the matrix of prescience will run out faster

[@guobacertified]

That also can be a reason to not go speed

[@somedude15231]

Okay, I know that up-to-date character guides are what makes the money, so please keep doing that. But these esoteric, mathy, nerdy-as-hell exploration of game mechanics is the exact reason I started watching your stuff. If you ever find yourself in a drought of content, I'd love more of these as much as you feel comfortable pumping them out. Not to say the character guides are bad though. I like them too

[@guobacertified]

glad you liked it :D

[@Zenfyre1]

so you're telling me if I have enough speed I get to be that mean person and eat other people's chocolate bars? alrighty then!

[@guobacertified]

lmao youll eat the bars faster yea

Would you be interested in doing videos on each main dps in depth guides? Like this stat at 134 is very good for this character bc in each rotation this can happen or set you up for getting more energy. Bc i honestly have a hard time with speed stats and i typically dislike csring about anything above i 120 speed as 121 seems to do very well on my Jing Yuan team.

[@guobacertified]

Could you elaborate more? Ideally on my discord server as it’s hard to find KZbin replies

Amazing video, thanks for the guide! I love to minmax my build and sadly its very hard to grasp speed mechanics. Subscribed and i definetely will check your other videos :)

Yay! Welcome to the channel

long have I waited for this. Thanks :D

Hope you enjoyed the wait ^^

With a certain someone's light cone coming out soon, stacking as much SPD as possible will also be viable not just based off of breakpoints.

[@michaelyang838]

One simple explanation that you probably explain in this video - typing as I listen, many don’t understand the concept of diminishing returns on speed

[@briannguyen6248]

Yup, Ty for confirming what I already play 🎉I first aim to get buffers faster than my damage dealers. That’s it! Then it comes down whether they need some speed to get going like my Jing Yuen feels kinda bad with 99 speed 😂he needs those boots cause I find him charging lightning lord too inconsistently so now he’s sitting at 126 spd which is ok. I was just aiming for 121. I feel that’s the sweet spot, a little over or under for damage dealers. Tho my Himiko is at 103 atm but that’s ok she feels fine.

[@krakeeen1167]

this helps sm, i can see clearly now

[@Chronos445]

Please can you make an updated Silverwolf guide! I enjoy all the videos so much!

Not much has changed D: but I can do if a rerun happens

[@shiningdragon1187]

Speed is weird, I was lucky on my dot team where until a new DoT set releases I have everyone speed turned (I wasn’t even trying at first) to be 1-2 spd faster then Kafka, at 135, so while it’s too much speed, the 3 4* dot supports go first and Kafka gets to take 2 turns a cycle. I also have her signature LC so she speeds up after turn 1, hopefully that Dot set is kind to me and gives me a bunch of good sets. Although I’m not 0 cycle int, so maybe I’m better off with atk boots on everyone but Kafka.

[@guobacertified]

That speed sounds fine :) we still like speed, and thats a good way of tuning her

[@SiegDaisuke]

now i can't unseen that literally everyone in this game include enemy's boss and mama cocolia eating chocolate bar to get their turn

[@guobacertified]

What have I done

[@shayaanm7122]

when building characters, i just try to get the main required stats on the correct pieces and get enough speed for the 134 breakpoint most times in the process and dont put much more thought into it

[@guobacertified]

Works just fine!

[@shayaanm7122]

@@guobacertified if i cant get better crit rolls might as well take the extra actions eh

This chocolate bar analogy is such a perfect way to explain all of this. Holy macaroni did it all make sense after taht.

[@guobacertified]

I’m so glad 🥹

[@RedOfFlames]

That chocolate bar analogy was more confusing than anything I’ve heard in months

Moral of the story: A ten turn fight gives your whole team diabetes from all the turn chocolate bars.
