Attack Rate
Attack Rate helps your attacks get past enemy blocks. The higher your Attack Rate compared to the enemy's Defense Rate, the less likely your attacks will be blocked for zero damage.
Overview
Attack Rate works against enemy Defense Rate in a blocking system. Higher Attack Rate reduces the chance of your attacks being blocked.
Block Chance Formula:
The exact formula is unknown, but it's a function that considers both your Attack Rate and the enemy's Defense Rate.
Block Chance = f(Your Attack Rate, Enemy Defense Rate)

Key Mechanics
- Block Prevention: Higher Attack Rate reduces enemy block chance against your attacks
- All Attack Types: Applies to both physical attacks and magic attacks

Usage Notes
- Effectiveness varies greatly based on enemy Defense Rate
- Essential for consistent damage output in both PvE and PvP
PvE and Pvp Variants
Attack Rate has specialized variants that provide additional accuracy in specific content:
- PvE Attack Rate: Bonus hit accuracy against monsters and NPCs
- PvP Attack Rate: Bonus hit accuracy against other players
How it works:
- PvE Content: Your total attack rate = Base Attack Rate + PvE Attack Rate
- PvP Content: Your total attack rate = Base Attack Rate + PvP Attack Rate
These variants stack additively with your base Attack Rate, giving you higher hit success rates against the respective enemy Defense Rate in their content types.
