RK will always win in DPM terms with an equally scrolled/equipped [insert every other 1h sword released in GMS]

Isn't the Red Katana a faster weapon than the Reverse? EDIT: Idk. 12 attack IS a lot.

12 ATK is a considerably large difference. Not sure if one speed level would make up for the loss in ATK. But honestly, who counts DPM in-game? Other than bossing, there are rarely any scenarios where you'll be stationary and constantly using the same attack over and over.

Each speed has a difference in DPM by 10 Attack intervals Speed 4 with 90attack = Speed 5 with 100 Attack Executioner is better

Is there a way to tell whether a weapon is fast 4 or 5? Do you just know from comparing or is it hidden in the description? Same thing with the slow att speeds.

Reverse Executioners would win if the wielder is buffed with SI. But in raw dpm, Red Katana would win, especially if you use an Apple. You can't say 1 speed difference = x attack, because it always depends on your base str, stats on equips (attk/str), and stats on buffs (like maple warrior and warrior elixir)

Plus with the minor difference in the attack, either the executioner is really horribly scrolled or the katana is really well scrolled. Really unbalanced scenario which favours the katana in most situations. To all that keeps saying each speed is 10, it's not... it scales to how much str and atk you have in your pool.
