I've found the reason. Entities with the NoAI tag will accumulate speed but will not make actual movements. This leads to the continuous accumulation of the entity's speed. Higher damage can be dealt in the direction where the entity's speed is directly opposite (even the attacker can deal damage without moving), while lower damage is dealt in the direction where the speed is opposite
