Swiftness
"All friendly Monsters have increased Speed."
+1 Speed
Notable Rulesets
| Top 3 Rulesets | Bottom 3 Rulesets |
| Up Close and Personal - With only melee monsters allowed to battle, increased speed may be the edge you need to defeat your opponent! | Aim True - monsters always hit their targets. |
| Stampede - Trample will be able to retrigger infinitely as long as the trampling monster keeps killing other monsters. Stack your team with monsters able to evade attacks - preventing your opponent from taking out multiple monsters on your team! | Reverse Speed - Monsters with lower speeds will attack before monsters with higher speeds. Avoid using Swiftness as it give your opponent an edge over you! |
| Super Sneak - Force your opponent to focus on the last monster on your team - If you use a high speed monster with dodge or flying, adding swiftness increases the odds that those attacks will miss. | Magic Reflect - Ensure that your Magic monster with Swiftness can take what they dish out! Consider whether risking the loss of this monster early on is worth the increased speed. |
Notable Abilities
| Top 3 Abilities | Bottom 3 Abilities |
| Flying - has an increased chance of evading Melee or Ranged attacks from Monsters who do not have the flying ability. | True Strike - If your opponent plays a monster with true strike, they are guaranteed to hit their target neutralizing evasion efforts. |
| Backfire - If an enemy misses this Monster with an attack, the attacker takes 2 damage. | Snipe - Ensure that your monster with Swiftness is well positioned otherwise they can be taken out with snipe. |
| Slow - reduces the speed of all enemy monsters. When combined with swiftness, you have a higher chance of not only attacking first, but also evading enemy attacks. | Slow - If your enemy plays a monster with Slow, Swiftness is negated. |
