The **Fast (old)** petal is an original, common petal in florr.io. It's a petal weaker than the Basic petal, but recharges fast, much faster than Basic, hence the name.

## Appearance

The Fast petal is simply a smaller version of the Basic petal. A small, white circle with a light gray outline with almost no details in it.

## Function

**Damage:** 8 HP

**Durability:** 5 HP

**Respawn Time:** 0.5 seconds

No special traits are available for this petal, except if we counts that this petal takes a lower time to respawn than most other petals. It's hitbox is very small.

## Drops

### Obtaining

It's pretty easy to get:

* This is easy to get, with common mobs commonly dropping it, but it's one of the worst petals, so I don't know why anyone would have it unless they're starting from scratch.
* It's still good to use in earlier zones as a placeholder, so use at least one or two of them. Don't farm players, though.

## Strategy

### Using

**Advantages**

* This petal has almost the stats of a Basic and have a shorter reload, meaning that this petal does higher damage and can kill a player faster (assuming 3 / 4 / 5 Fasts)
* Fast is easily find from many mobs (principally insects), so you can have many of them and survive a bit more than usual.

**Disvantages**

* This petal is generally not worth going for since it is very weak. You should stick with Basic petals until you get other petals. However, these can be useful for collecting, deleting, and leveling up during the first 15 levels. Replaceable by at least two Heavy petals.
* They can be used for beginner and slow deathwheels but surely fight other mobs or weak players. Twin petals and Triplet petals are similar to this petal, but Those contain multiple of them, causing Twin and Triplet being better than the Fast.
	+ Since the Fast petal is weak, it's usually better to wait until you get Twin or Triplet rather than equipping a Fast right away.
	+ If a player has a Fast equipped and obtains a Twin or Triplet, they should always replace the Fast with one of those petals.

**Extra**

* This can be used to grind XP when below level 20. (Since you can get alot of it from ant holes)

### Against

* The Fast is weaker than the Basic. How do you take advantage of this? Charge in and attack on the side where they have the Fast petal.
* Almost every petal can one hit a Fast, excluding Corn.

## Trivia

* This, along with the Faster petal, has the second fastest respawn time in the game at only 0.5 seconds.
	+ They both were beaten by the Rice petal, which has a 0.04 second respawn
* The petal has the shortest respawn, lowest durability and least damage points of the a common petal.
* This used to be referred to as the most useless petal because it is quite weak.
	+ Since the November 2nd, 2020 update, Corn has been considered the worst petal, due to its extremely low damage.
