Speed

Speed represents a pet's agility and quickness in battle. Speed is one of the options you can choose to increase when a pet Levels up. Speed can be checked on the Pet Status screen of the Battledome, as well as the Equipment page. Most Weapons and Armor do not grant Speed bonuses; special event items are more likely to carry extra Speed boosts. These increases are percentage based, thus pets with a high Speed rating will benefit the most from equipment bonuses.

A pet's Speed rating (including equipment bonuses, if any) determines who gets to go first in each combat round. The number of actions a pet can perform in a single round of combat is also dependent on Speed, since additional Tiers are unlocked at specific Speed levels. Because of this, Speed is generally considered the most important attribute for a battle pet, and the one raised most often at the beginning. Unlocking additional tiers is crucial, and getting to hit first with an Affliction inducing move can completely change the outcome of the fight.

There is currently no Stat Item that boosts Speed directly; under the Explore system Pinwheel Candy had a chance of raising speed (or any other statistic) but it remains uncoded for Adventure presently.
