Effect

What Swiftness does

Increases movement speed.

Swiftness is a level-up pick that raises Movement Speed for the rest of the run. Every further pick adds another level, up to 60; rarer offers grant more per level.

Per level

Swiftness by rarity

Gain per level of Swiftness
Common+0.02× Movement Speed
Uncommon+0.025× Movement Speed
Rare+0.03× Movement Speed
Epic+0.035× Movement Speed
Legendary+0.04× Movement Speed

Luck — from Fortune or the Censer — shifts your offers toward the rarer rows.

Fit

Who Swiftness is for

Swiftness acts on your hero rather than on one skill, so it fits every build. It is strongest on long runs that reach the deep floors.

Timing

When to take Swiftness

Take it early if you want the whole run to benefit; Swiftness pays off over time rather than in the next fight. Out of slots? The Thorn Archive on each floor’s plaza removes a potion, and the Diamond Trader sells extra potion slots.
