How does speed work?
So how does speed work? I saw a guide that stated speed modified enemies turn count. Is that so? Should I not use any items or relics with a speed boost?

Speed does two things:
1. It increases this delay by your speed stat.
2. It gives you additional free Standby uses.

A certain spoiler character is an exception for #2, but otherwise, more speed is always a good thing. Sometimes you do want enemies to attack before you end your turn and/or spend all of your mana so you can heal after it, but the extra standbys will let you remove the extra delay.

It does not modify enemy turn count, only their turn speed. So if you are faster, it takes longer for them to attack in the turn. But they will still attack an equal amount of times per turn.

More speed is always good. Why? Because if you don't want it, you also get more standby so you can get back to "normal" speed.

Less speed is not just bad, but VERY bad, because this generally means many enemies will go immediately at the start of turn, all at once. With multiple enemies this means your healing gauge gets destroyed before you can heal back up or defend.

More speed isn't always good since every +1 speed usually adds 2 countdown on enemies and 1 standby for you.
So with 3 speed, it's very hard to stagger enemy attacks.

Note that some bosses have attacks that always go on 0, 1 or 9+ count regardless of speed.

Oh I didn't know that. I thought it was 1:1
