Overview

Sword Quicken temporarily boosts the Knight's attack speed and accuracy while a sword is equipped. The buff is stronger with a two-handed sword than a one-handed sword. At maximum rank the effect lasts five minutes, making it a near-permanent combat state in practice. Sword Quicken is both a core performance skill for sword builds and a prerequisite for Bowling Bash and Mighty Bash.

Mechanics

Weapon requirement: A sword must be equipped for the skill to activate and for the buff to apply. The effect is suspended if the weapon is changed to a non-sword.

Notes

The ASPD bonus is the same at all levels for both weapon types: the skill does not improve ASPD scaling beyond the initial boost. The per-level improvement is primarily in duration and Hit rating.

Sword Quicken level 5 is required to unlock Bowling Bash. Level 10 is required to unlock Mighty Bash.
