🧪 How Turbo Skates Works

Turbo Skates turns flat Movement Speed into Attack Speed, letting speed-focused builds reach new DPS ceilings. The conversion is capped at +40% Attack Speed per stack, so multiple copies scale cleanly without breaking the cap per stack.

✓ Advantages

  • Directly monetizes every source of Move Speed
  • Pairs naturally with sprinting/evade-heavy play
  • Lets ranged and melee builds alike hit higher APS tiers

✗ Disadvantages

  • No defensive value on its own
  • Requires external Move Speed sources to shine

🔓 How to Unlock Turbo Skates

Unlock Requirement

  1. In a single run, level the Cooldown Tome to Lv.5.
  2. In the same run, level the Agility Tome to Lv.5.
  3. Once both reach Lv.5, Turbo Skates is permanently unlocked and added to your item pool.
💡
Tip: Pick early Move Speed boosters so the item becomes impactful immediately after it drops.
