Average Hit Speed: (no status effects, all figures in seconds. suicide-attack troops have assumed 1s hit speed)

Mean: [1.1 (Knight) + 1.9 (Bomber) + 1.2 (Archer) + 1.3 (Spear Goblin) + 1.1 (Goblin) + 1 (Skeleton) + 1 (Minion) + 1.5 (Barbarian) + 1 (Fire Spirit) + 1.7 (Royal Giant) + 1.4 (Elite Barbarian) + 1 (Ice Spirit) + 1.5 (Giant) + 1.1 (Musketeer) + 1.8 (Mini PEKKA) + 1.5 (Valkyrie) + 1.5 (Hog Rider) + 1.4 (Wizard) + 1 (Battle Ram) + 1.4 (Mega Minion) + 2.5 (Ice Golem) + 0.7 (Dart Goblin) + 1.6 (Baby Dragon) + 1.5 (Prince) + 0.7 (Witch) + 1.5 (Giant Skeleton) + 3 (Balloon) + 1.8 (PEKKA) + 2.5 (Golem) + 2.5 (Golemite) + 1.5 (Dark Prince) + 1.2 (Guards) + 2.5 (Bowler) + 2.4 (Executioner) + 0.4 (Inferno Dragon) + 1.3 (Lava Hound) + 1 (Lava Pup) + 1.5 (Ice Wizard) + 5 (Sparky) + 1.2 (Miner) + 1.7 (Electro Wizard) + 3 (Princess) + 0.7 (Lumberjack)]/43 = 68.1/43 ≈ 1.5837s.

This is closest to the hit speed of the Baby Dragon of 1.6s, with an error of approximately 0.01628s. Surprisingly, no troop shares hit speed with Baby Dragon - Wizard used to share it though.

If we were to ignore the three suicide-attack troops, then the mean hit speed would be (68.1-3)/(43-3) = 65.1/40 = 1.6275s. Again, the hit speed of 1.6s from the Baby Dragon would still be closest.

Median: The median hit speed is 1.5s, and this can be claimed by eight different troops (I'm not naming them all). Discounting the three suicide-attack troops does not change the median.

Mode: The modal hit speed is also 1.5s. As a useless piece of trivia, the second most common hit speed is 1s (only because of the earlier assumption that suicide-attack troops have a hit speed of 1s). Barring the suicide-attack troops, the second most common hit speed would be 2.5s, shared by the Golem, Golemite, Ice Golem and Bowler.

Range: There is a 4.6s difference between the Sparky's 5s hit speed and the Inferno Dragon's 0.4s hit speed. This means that the Inferno Dragon can attack 12 times in the same period of time that the Sparky takes to attack once.
