====== Swiftness ======

{{:abilities:swiftness.png?nolink}} Units that have **Swiftness (X)** have X% more Combat Speed than usual, causing them to move faster on the battlefield. Your other movements aren't boosted similarly, or at least aren't controllable enough to be useful in combat or anything else.

This is not to be confused with [[Quickness]], which provides additional useful buffs but tends to increase gained Fatigue.

==== How do you get Swiftness? ====

Swiftness is a buff shared between [[Nature]] and [[Air]]:

  * The [[Bless]] provides Swiftness **(30)**, along with a **+1** boost to Defense (DEF), and is stackable. It requires {{path>A3}} on your [[Pretender]].
  * Three [[Enchantment]] spells provide Swiftness **(50)**; these are ??Windrunner?? (a self-buff) at [[Research]] Level 1, ??Gift of the Hare?? (AOE 1+) at Level 2, and ??Haste?? (AOE 25) at Level 4. The first spell requires {{path>A1}}, the second requires {{path>N1}}, and the third spell requires {{path>N3}} and {{gems>1N}} (or, if you're desperate for speed, {{path>N2}} and {{gems>2N}}).
     * The informative green text on those spells is wrong; they say they provide Swiftness **(100)**. 
  * Some items grant Swiftness, too.

For [[Stacking effects|stacking]] purposes, you should know that the three spells do NOT stack with themselves or each other.
