Combat Sequence DPS Calculator
Most DPS tools stop at a single hit. This one doesn't. Build a full attack rotation from a weapon's real move set, tweak your buffs, and see how each sequence stacks up — then let the optimizer find the highest-DPS combo automatically.

How to Use This Tool
- Pick a weapon from the grid. Use the type, quality, and search filters to narrow things down fast.
- Review the attack cards. Each card shows the attack's average damage, min/max range, speed, and individual DPS. The cards are sorted from highest to lowest DPS efficiency.
- Build your rotation by clicking attack cards in the order you'd actually use them in a fight. You can add the same move more than once to model a real combo loop.
- Add buffs if you're running food or stat bonuses that increase your damage output.
- Read the results. The Rotation DPS tells you how much damage you're doing per second on average. Check the breakdown table to see which move contributes the most and whether swapping it out would help.
- Compare to the Recommended Rotation at the bottom, which is calculated by greedily chaining the attacks with the best damage-to-speed ratios.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some attacks doing more DPS than others even with lower raw damage?
DPS is damage divided by time, so a fast attack with moderate damage can beat a slow heavy hit. The Thrust on a Sword, for example, deals 41 damage but fires at 0.72 s — that's 56.9 DPS solo. The heavier Vortexstrike Stab hits for 87 but takes 1.10 s, coming in at ~79 DPS. The Stab wins on raw hit value, but speed matters a lot when enemies can interrupt you.
What does the Recommended Rotation actually optimize?
It ranks every attack by its individual damage-per-second ratio, then chains the top moves in order. It doesn't account for combo locks (some moves require preceding attacks in-game), but it gives you a strong theoretical ceiling to compare your custom rotation against.
Are the attack timings exact?
The timings are based on observed in-game frame data for each attack type — light swings, charged moves, thrusts, and signature finishers each have distinct speeds. Real combat adds input lag, animation cancels, and movement, so treat these numbers as a solid baseline rather than a frame-perfect count.
How does the Strength Bonus buff work?
It applies a flat percentage multiplier to the base damage of every attack in your rotation. A +20% strength bonus on an attack averaging 41 damage pushes it to 49.2. Stack this with food buffs to see how high your ceiling can get.
Which weapon has the best overall DPS in Hytale?
At item level 40, the Adamantite Sword's Vortexstrike Stab is the hardest-hitting single move in the current build (87 physical, ~79 DPS). For sustained rotation DPS, pairing Thrust + Vortexstrike Stab in a two-move loop is highly efficient. Spears tend to edge out swords on longer fights due to their reach and quick light-attack timing.
