One Step Ahead
Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill
Your Action Speed is at least 108% of base value
Nearby Enemy Monsters' Action Speed is at most 92% of base value [1]

One Step Ahead is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Trickster that grants a minimum of 108% action speed to you and a maximum of 92% action speed on nearby Enemies.

These modifiers function similarly to Tailwind and Chill. Note that because these are minimums/maximums they do not affect the actual base action speed (100%); players will gain no additional benefits from sources of increased (and enemies with decreased) action speed unless the total magnitude is 9% or greater (therefore exceeding the threshold). Anything lower than 8% will be overwritten by the set value.[1] Note that the slow effect only applies to enemy monsters, and will not affect other players in a PVP setting.

Your Action Speed is at least 108% of its base value: This allows the player to ignore any action speed slows such as chill, freeze, or petrify, allowing players to benefit from self-freeze mechanics or Replica Rumi's ConcoctionReplica Rumi's Concoction
