Hidden Attributes

Shot Speed is the attribute that governs how quickly an individual tear travels, and is represented by a speeding ball. Shot Speed also affects the effective range of the tears. As the range stat determines how long tears will stay in the air (and not distance traveled), a lesser shot speed reduces effective range. Shot speed measures velocity of each tear in contrast to the Tears stat, which measures tear frequency.

• All characters start with the same shot speed except for Samson, who has a 31% increased shot speed, and Eden, whose shot speed can be anywhere between 75% and 125%.
• Items that reduce shot speed cannot lower it past 0.6.
