Archive:Projectile Speed

I saw that ending from miles away.

Projectile Speed is the speed at which a ranged unit's attack projectile travels. After performing a basic attack, the projectile is released. This projectile follows the target, and can be disjointed or evaded. Ranged units also have an innate 25% chance to miss when attacking uphill. After gaining True Strike the projectile cannot miss or be evaded, but it can still be disjointed. Melee units do not have a missile speed and will instead hit instantly after performing an attack. Some spells also have missile speeds, which are unique to each spell. Below is a list of basic attack missile speeds.
