Alacrity applied to you is stronger but has a reduced duration. Gain increased critical-strike damage when you have alacrity.

  Recharge Speed: 50%

  Critical Damage Increase: 10%

  Duration Decreased: 33%

— In-game description

Notes

Bug:

The reduction in duration doesn't affect Alacrity gained via  Persistence of Memory.

• This applies -33% Boon duration of Alacrity to yourself. If you have 133% Boon duration, Alacrity will be applied to you as 100% duration.
• The increased critical-strike damage only affects the chronomancer, and not their illusions.

Version history

Patch	Changes
August 02, 2022	In addition to its previous effects, this trait now also increases your critical strike damage by 10% when you have alacrity. This is a multiplier to total damage dealt, not additive with critical strike damage from ferocity.
February 06, 2018	This trait now causes alacrity applied to you to improve skill-recharge speed by 50%, but it reduces the duration of incoming alacrity from all sources by 33%. Alacrity applied to others is unaffected.
October 23, 2015	Heart of Thorns release: Improved Alacrity has been added to the game.
