Movement Speed is a core mechanic in 33 Immortals that determines how fast a player or enemy can traverse the battlefield. Movement Speed plays a critical role in evasion, chasing, positioning for Revives, escaping Zones, and dodging elite or boss attacks.

Overview

All player characters and enemies have a base Movement Speed that can be altered by buffs, debuffs, relics, and Weapon Mastery traits. While not displayed as a stat numerically in-game, Movement Speed changes are often visually noticeable and can dramatically affect performance in both offense and defense.

Key Effects of Movement Speed

• Determines how fast you can move across the battlefield
• Affects the ability to avoid telegraphed enemy attacks or reposition during combat
• Influences how quickly you can reach allies for Revives
• Essential for escaping AoE zones like Zone Hazard or elite boss abilities
• Synergizes with kiting, hit-and-run tactics, and ranged weapon builds

Sources of Increased Movement Speed

• Relics – Some relics grant passive or triggered speed buffs
• Weapon Mastery – Traits like Mobile Light (Bow of Hope) boost speed during abilities
• Greed Effects – Daggers of Greed grant speed bonuses when Greed begins draining
• Buff Zones – Temporary zones that boost ally speed
• Support Abilities – Some co-op effects or synergy builds can enhance team mobility

Movement Speed Penalties

• Slowed – Reduces Movement Speed, often through Torpor, Super Slow, or relics
• Encumbered States – Some abilities or builds (like using Guard or Takedown) reduce speed temporarily
• Debuff Zones – Hazard areas may reduce player speed while inside

Strategy

• Use speed boosts to quickly reposition, escape crowd control, or revive teammates
• Stack mobility with ranged weapons to maximize kiting potential
• Combine Movement Speed buffs with Zone Control Builds to enter or exit zones safely
• Use relics that enhance mobility if playing a solo or frontline role

Visual Indicators

• Speed effects are usually accompanied by glowing trails, wind effects, or aura pulses
• Slowed characters appear to move sluggishly with a faint glow
• UI icons may flash or show arrows to indicate speed buffs

Summary

Movement Speed is more than just how fast you run—it's how you survive, strike, and support. Whether sprinting to save a fallen ally or dodging a boss's final blow, mastering movement is essential for thriving in the chaos of 33 Immortals.
