Scale a weapon swing with attack speed so the hit moment still lines up

A faster attack speed that simply plays the swing quicker makes the blow unreadable, and the damage often lands at the wrong point of the arm's motion. Here is how the three phases shrink at different rates, where the hit happens, and how long you must wait before the next swing.

Why this works

A swing has a hit moment the eye waits for. Faster attacks should squeeze the winding back, but a strike or a return that is too short is no longer seen. Holding the hit at the middle of the strike keeps cause and effect in the same place at any speed.

When not to use it

Don't use it for weapons whose hit lasts a while, such as a beam or a held shield, or for slow, heavy blows that are meant to be dodged. A fixed long windup is the point there, so don't speed it up without limit.
