Attack Rate
Attack Rate helps your attacks bypass enemy blocks. The higher your Attack Rate relative to the enemy's Defense Rate, the more reliably your attacks land. Like Defense Rate, a hidden 5% hit guarantee means some attacks will always connect. This affects both physical and magical attacks.

Usage Notes
- Effectiveness varies based on enemy Defense Rate
- For consistent hits, you need at least as much attack rate as your target's defense rate (ideally 10-20% more than their defense rate).
- Essential for consistent damage output in both PvE and PvP
