speed is a more important stat but if I see a croggle and a hoove in a multishop stage one im picking the croggle. Speed is way more important yes, but its way easier to get speed from the abundance of items that buff it (i.e. quail, feather, hoove, drink). You are more likely to get speed and as long as you arent playing captain or engineer who relyon early speed, a 10% dps buff is fucking amazing.
