Essentially, Haste is all about speeding up your characters' actions and making them more effective. What does Haste do in AFK Journey? Haste is a hero attribute in AFK Journey. Each point of Haste increases a unit's attack and skill frequency by one percent and animation speed by the same amount. That means a character will perform all actions faster the more Haste they have. For example, a character that attacks\u00a010\u00a0times in 10 seconds without Haste will attack 15 times with 50 Haste, effectively boosting damage by 50 percent for that period. The Haste effect increases the frequency of skill triggers for characters like Smokey and Meerky, whose Special Aroma heals allies faster with Haste. With Haste, characters cast Ultimates and other skills quicker, reducing animation times and allowing them to attack sooner. Over\u00a0a fight's duration,\u00a0having Haste results in higher overall damage output and Energy gain\u00a0due to quicker actions and shorter delays. Haste changes are identified\u00a0by\u00a0an hourglass icon under the character's health bar\u00a0during fights; green indicates an increase, while red indicates a decrease. All characters have zero base Haste unless they have a skill that increases it, making character buffs the only other way to modify Haste values. Temesia and Rhys\u00a0are the only characters in the game whose actions aren't sped up\u00a0by Haste or Attack Speed. Instead, these stats boost Temesia's charge damage by one percent per point and Rhys' Crit Damage by two per point. Haste vs. Attack Speed The main difference between Haste and Attack Speed in AFK Journey is that Haste affects all character actions, including skills, whereas Attack Speed affects only normal attacks. This means Haste is generally more beneficial than Attack Speed since a character with Haste will use their skills faster and resume attacking earlier than with Attack Speed buffs only. You can stack Haste and Attack Speed buffs on the same character since they are different stats. High Haste allows skills with multiple activations to trigger more often within their standard duration, but it does not change their cooldown or active duration. The cooldown, the period a skill is unavailable after use, and the duration, how long the skill is active, remain unchanged by Haste. Character skills that affect Haste in AFK Journey Here's a comprehensive list of the abilities of every character in the game that affect Haste, either increasing or decreasing it for allies or enemies.

Essentially, Haste is all about speeding up your characters' actions and making them more effective. What does Haste do in AFK Journey? Haste is a hero attribute in AFK Journey. Each point of Haste increases a unit's attack and skill frequency by one percent and animation speed by the same amount. That means a character will perform all actions faster the more Haste they have. For example, a character that attacks\u00a010\u00a0times in 10 seconds without Haste will attack 15 times with 50 Haste, effectively boosting damage by 50 percent for that period. The Haste effect increases the frequency of skill triggers for characters like Smokey and Meerky, whose Special Aroma heals allies faster with Haste. With Haste, characters cast Ultimates and other skills quicker, reducing animation times and allowing them to attack sooner. Over\u00a0a fight's duration,\u00a0having Haste results in higher overall damage output and Energy gain\u00a0due to quicker actions and shorter delays. Haste changes are identified\u00a0by\u00a0an hourglass icon under the character's health bar\u00a0during fights; green indicates an increase, while red indicates a decrease. All characters have zero base Haste unless they have a skill that increases it, making character buffs the only other way to modify Haste values. Temesia and Rhys\u00a0are the only characters in the game whose actions aren't sped up\u00a0by Haste or Attack Speed. Instead, these stats boost Temesia's charge damage by one percent per point and Rhys' Crit Damage by two per point. Haste vs. Attack Speed The main difference between Haste and Attack Speed in AFK Journey is that Haste affects all character actions, including skills, whereas Attack Speed affects only normal attacks. This means Haste is generally more beneficial than Attack Speed since a character with Haste will use their skills faster and resume attacking earlier than with Attack Speed buffs only. You can stack Haste and Attack Speed buffs on the same character since they are different stats. High Haste allows skills with multiple activations to trigger more often within their standard duration, but it does not change their cooldown or active duration. The cooldown, the period a skill is unavailable after use, and the duration, how long the skill is active, remain unchanged by Haste.
