Speed 1

Rare (14.63%)
verified 2026-07-18 · Anime Expeditions traits

Speed 1 is a Rare trait in Anime Expeditions with a 14.63% base drop rate, granting a -5% SPA reduction for slightly faster attacks.

Speed 1 is one of the three most common traits in the game, dropping at a 14.63% base rate alongside Strength 1 and Range 1. Its effect is a straightforward 5% reduction to SPA, making a unit attack slightly more often.

Like Strength 1, Speed 1 is common enough that most players treat it as an interim result while rerolling toward Speed 2 or Bolt for a bigger attack speed boost.

How the trait works

Speed 1 is one of the three most common traits, dropping at 14.63% alongside Strength 1 and Range 1. Its effect is a -5% SPA reduction, a small but real cut to the delay between attacks.

Speed 1's value follows the same logic as Bolt at a smaller scale - it helps most on units whose passives trigger off Regular Attacks, since a faster attack cycle reaches stack or charge thresholds sooner, and it is still a plain DPS gain on any other unit.

Given how common it is, most players treat Speed 1 as an interim result while rerolling toward Speed 2 or Bolt for a bigger attack speed boost.

Best units for this trait

Arcane Magic's per-attack charge gain means any SPA reduction, even Speed 1's modest -5%, shortens the time to its 3, 5 and 7 charge spell thresholds

Lady Giant

Rock Storm's Rock Chunk stacking benefits from more frequent Regular Attacks the same way

String Demon

Cocoon of Carnage's 6-attack trigger comes around faster with a shorter attack cycle

How to roll it

Speed 1 is a Rare trait with a 14.63% base drop rate and no documented hard pity. It rolls through the 75% base trait chance on any summon, or can be rerolled with a Trait Crystal, though its high base rate means most players roll past it quickly while chasing Speed 2 or Bolt.
