How does Cast Frequency work in Soulstone Survivors?

Cast Frequency increases the rate at which your skills are cast. A +100% Cast Frequency modifier cuts the base cooldown of your skill exactly in half, effectively doubling your attacks per second (APS).

What does Multi-cast do?

Multi-cast gives your skills a percentage chance to trigger an additional time instantly for no extra cooldown. If you have 150% Multi-cast, your skill will ALWAYS cast twice, with a 50% chance to cast a third time, acting as a massive multiplier to your base DPS.

Is it better to stack Damage modifier or Critical modifiers?

Because Damage modifier is additive with itself, stacking it infinitely leads to diminishing returns in relative DPS. Once your Damage modifier is high, investing points into Critical Chance and Critical Damage Multipliers provides a much larger overall boost to your final DPS.

Mastering Soulstone Survivors Math

Soulstone Survivors is a game entirely about exponential synergy. Taking the right upgrades at the right time transforms your build from struggling against standard elites to instantly melting high-curse Lords of the Void. Understanding how the four pillars of DPS scale is essential.

Cast Frequency & Attacks Per Second

Unlike raw cooldown reduction in other games, Cast Frequency scales your Attacks Per Second (APS) linearly. The formula is: Base Cooldown ÷ (1 + Cast Frequency%). If you have a skill with a 2.0s cooldown and gain +100% Cast Frequency, the cooldown becomes 1.0s (double the APS). Adding another +100% (total 200%) drops it to 0.66s (triple the APS). It never stops being valuable.

The Power of Multi-cast:
Multi-cast acts as a pure, separate multiplier to your DPS. If your skill hits for 100 damage and casts 1 time per second, your DPS is 100. If you reach 150% Multi-cast, your skill will ALWAYS cast twice, and has a 50% chance to cast a third time. Your average casts jump to 2.5 per second, skyrocketing your DPS to 250 without altering your damage or cooldown stats.

Critical Hits & Diminishing Returns

Damage modifier (%) is additive. Going from 0% to 100% Damage doubles your output. But going from 400% to 500% only represents a 20% relative DPS increase. Because of this, once your Damage modifier is stacked high, Critical Chance and Critical Damage become the most potent ways to increase your hit severity. A 100% Crit Chance with a 300% Crit Damage multiplier will multiply your final hit numbers by 3x across the board.

Can Critical Chance go over 100%?

Yes. If your Critical Chance exceeds 100%, the excess percentage acts as a chance to score a "Red Crit" (or higher tier crit), which applies your Critical Damage multiplier an additional time, resulting in astronomical damage numbers on late-cycle runs.

Should I focus on Multi-cast or Cast Frequency?

Ideally, both! They multiply each other. However, Cast Frequency has the added benefit of making your skill feel more responsive and fluid. Multi-cast is superior for burst damage and rapidly applying status effects like Doom, Bleed, or Burn.
