Question, Is the instrumental basic game mechanics to Ladder Slasher based on the concept of;

1 second delay action:
... Melee (excluding Heavy Weapons)
... Casting (Elemental & Healing)
... All skills like fishing, cooking, transmuting etc.

1.8 second delay action only applies to using Heavy Weapons.

Note: Quick Draw ONLY applies to Melee actions of 1 second or 1.8 second delay.
???

Now, ask yourself this: when playing Ladder Slasher, does "SPAM" (or RAPID MASHING) clicking help you achieve more benefits???

Yeah, that last question was a Teaser... it doesn't do jack shit, 1 second is 1 second, so if you can click 4 times within 1 second, it is wasting your time and adding issues to your device and your tendons.

Brother what

For each action (attack, melee or skilling) is recorded by each second. So, you can say click once per second and it counts as an action, if you click twice in that second, only 1 of those actions are accounted for and the other is ignored because it did NOT COMPUTE.

So, if you can click 4 times in 1 second... only 1 of those clicks means something... so when fishing... you only need to click once per second, NOT SPAM click.

Click (pause within that second) and Click (pause within that second) etc... also... if you see "Snag" appear, you have time to click "Snag" while pausing... thus making it easier to successfully catch the fish... same with cooking and other skills, as well as killing monsters in a Catacomb or Map while exploring the maze.

Simple Simon says it in the original game play manual that people don't really read.

On skills i click slowly once per second ish.. but during a climb i click faster. Do you have the exact timing of clicking once per second? Or is it maybe once per 1.3 seconds? In that case you might decrease the extra time after each second if you spam click

Most of the time ppl get inte a better rythm when spamclicking

Clicking slow almost never helps

Let's play with the thought that you're a slow clicker right, so if u do what u think might be 1 second and in fact it is

First click action register
Next click u do once u think is a second might be 0.95s and wont do shit for u.
u wait for 1 more second and that one registers
u then click again 0.8s later and wont register either
next one u click register
next click u do is 1.2s later -> register (but then missed time)
next is the same.

==== This means you're wasting alot of time/actions

IF you can spam however there's more likely u dont fuck up your actions.

ALSO there's;

So as long as u dont kill the monster with ur first hit u dont have to click it again at all as u have it lined up for an extra action after.
If you spamclick other monsters u line up for those monsters with ur next hit instead of the one u're currently attacking.


Clicking slow helps only when fishing because u dont wanna miss the snag, so u wait for the counter to move and then u move to make sure to not miss snag, same for cooking
Suffuse u only click when text pops up and never otherwise.

That is why I "untick/uncheck" the "Disable Auto Hold Attack" in the "Settings".

This Automatically attacks per action sequence per second including any Quick Draw % from items worn.

Also, for Hybrid builds it is great, while attacking, and you are low on life and need to heal, you just press the R hotkey for your ACC charm and it carries on healing until you click the Q hotkey to deal Melee damage or the E hotkey for casting (vice versa if heal is in main slot and cast is in ACC slot).

I am not spam clicking at all... the game does it for me other than me clicking ONCE on a monster and maybe click QER if needed... damn I have my cursor over items in the drop box reading mods while I am still attacking or healing myself.

I use heavy weapons... I have been using this for years since it got introduced, and with QD... it is fucking noticeable... also, when I go fishing or cooking, I use the 1 sec rule... and I never fail those skills.

Sorry for double quoting, I did not answer your question since it is referring to skilling.

I just do this in my head.

(click) one Mississippi
(click) one Mississippi
(click) Repeat & Rinse.

May not be accurate, but I think "One Mississippi" is around 1 second and click.

mao ... yes it is true, this is what I do... click and say One Mississippi in my head and click every time... also watching for Snag, where I click and start again with one Mississippi etc.

My fishing method (on mobile) is to double-tap “Reel” or “Snag Counter” and then wait for the top bar to move. No need for counting. Just base your actions off of the bar’s movement.

As far as monster killing goes, I don’t know why you’d spam click when auto-attack has been in the game for years now.

The first couple of days I didn’t realize I only had to click each monster once (or hold down for transmuting). Now I can’t imagine trying to spam click for every action
