Effect

What Velocity does

Increases skill projectile speed. Summon bolts keep their pace.

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

Per level

Velocity by rarity

Gain per level of Velocity
Common+0.018× Projectile Speed
Uncommon+0.022× Projectile Speed
Rare+0.026× Projectile Speed
Epic+0.03× Projectile Speed
Legendary+0.036× Projectile Speed

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

Skills

Skills Velocity boosts

Velocity multiplies a track these skills upgrade, so the two compound:

Arrow

Auto-fires at the current target, piercing up to 3 foes.

Fireball

Explodes on impact, damaging all nearby enemies.

Shuriken

Spinning stars that ricochet between enemies.

Phoenix

Flies over the horde to a distant foe, then bursts into flame.

Soul Reaper

A piercing crescent returns to you, hitting foes once each way.

Timing

When to take Velocity

Take it once two or three damage skills are in place: Velocity multiplies what you already have, so it is worth more with every skill you add. Out of slots? The Thorn Archive on each floor’s plaza removes a potion, and the Diamond Trader sells extra potion slots.
