Turbo Skates

Turbo Skates

Epic
The faster you move, the more Attack Speed you gain. Max 40% per stack.
Scaling Type:
Linear scaling for attack speed bonus (sort of) Note: Bug - when entering a new stage it seems to re-calculate your current speed to be your new base speed.

Detailed Explanation

The faster you move, the more attack speed you gain. Specifically you gain 10% attack speed when you move 10% faster than your base speed.
If you move at 1.4x base speed, you reach the max cap for 1 item, which is +40% attack speed. This is very easy to reach if you move around somewhat normally even without extra movement speed items (jumping, strafing, bunny hopping)
 
NOTE: There is currently a bug in the game where whenever you enter a new stage, the game re-calculates your current speed to be your new base speed. This is explained in greater details under "How it stacks". It is a pretty significant bug and can make this item feel pretty useless even though its scaling is crazy.

How it Stacks

This item scales linearly but with an interesting curve. Below is a chart to explain this

Orange line: 1 copy. Blue line: 2 copies. Green line: 3 copies
 
 
With 3 copies you can gain up to +360% more attack speed when moving at 2.2x your basespeed. This scales infinitely and can get pretty crazy with a lot of copies. Here is a graph that shows up to 10 copies of turbo skates.

NOTE Remember the bug is important and unfortantely makes this item hard to use in some runs. Here is an example to see why this bug might be a big problem:
 
If you increase your movement speed multiplier during map 1 (say to 2.2x) and have 3 copies of turbo skates, you will get the full +360% dmg multiplier from just walking around normally on the map
 
But if you then go to the next stage it seems like the game re-calculates whatever your current speed multiplier is (2.2x) to be seen as your new "base speed" (at least for the turbo skates).
This means that now when you walk normally, you will get no attack speed bonus at all. To get the same attack speed bonus from just walking normally you'd need 2.2x movement speed more of your new "base speed", so (2.2 * 2.2 = 4.84x speed multiplier). This is a pretty big bug as it can become pretty difficult to achieve the required speeds on the next stages
