What Are Traits in Anime Adventures?

Traits are powerful modifiers that enhance your units' core stats—Damage, SPA (Speed Per Attack), and Range. When you summon units or obtain them from portals, they may come with a trait. The Christmas Update October 2025 has maintained the trait system while introducing new balance considerations that affect their relative value.

Key Trait Mechanics:

• Traits can be rerolled using Star Remnants or Reroll Tokens
• Each trait has specific drop rates ranging from 0.1% (Mythical) to 14.99% (Rare)
• Some traits provide visual effects (auras, wings, golden appearance)
• Double traits can occur with a 0.2% chance when rerolling
• New units have a 1% chance to spawn with a trait, plus an additional 1% chance for double traits

SS Tier: Game-Changing Traits

Unique (0.1% Drop Rate)

Effect: 300% damage increase, 10% SPA reduction, 10% range increase. Only one unit can be placed.

Strategic Analysis: Unique is arguably the most powerful trait in Anime Adventures, offering a staggering 344.4% DPS increase for single-placement units. However, its effectiveness diminishes with higher placement caps:

• 1 placement: 344.4% DPS increase
• 2 placements: 122.2% DPS increase
• 3 placements: 48.1% DPS increase
• 4+ placements: Actually decreases overall DPS

Best Units For: JIO (Over Heaven), Iron Knight (Arsenal), Usurper (Founder), Time Wizard (Chronos), Supreme Being (Sovereign)

Christmas Update Impact: No changes to Unique trait mechanics, but its value has increased due to new high-DPS single-placement units introduced in the update.

Divine (0.2% Drop Rate)

Effect: 20% damage boost, 10% SPA reduction, 20% range increase. Grants angelic wings visual effect.

Strategic Analysis: Divine provides a balanced 33.3% DPS increase across all stats, making it incredibly versatile. It's particularly effective for:

• Units with 4+ spawn cap (Joykid Mode IV, Gamer Dual, Hammerhead Shark Empress)
• Support units benefiting from multiple placements (Shinobi Eternal)
• Units requiring optimal positioning (Griffin Ascension)

Best Units For: Griffin (Reincarnation), Joykid (Mode IV), Shinobi (Eternal), Hammerhead (Shark Empress)

Christmas Update Impact: Divine trait maintains its S-tier status with no nerfs, making it one of the most sought-after traits in the current meta.

S Tier: Elite Performance Traits

Celestial (0.36% Drop Rate)

Effect: 10% damage boost, 10% range boost, 20% damage buff as True Damage. Grants purple galaxy aura.

Strategic Analysis: Celestial provides a 32% DPS increase with the unique advantage of True Damage, which ignores enemy resistances. This makes it exceptionally valuable for:

• Infinity Mansion content
• Legend Stages with resistant enemies
• Daily Challenges featuring tanky bosses
• Units with DoT (Damage Over Time) effects

True Damage Mechanics: The 20% True Damage buff can be affected by external buffs:

• With 100% buff from Leafy/Wenda/Orwin: Reduced to 10% True Damage
• With Griffin (Reincarnation): Reduced to 13.3% True Damage
• With just Griffin: Maintains 20% True Damage

Best Units For: High-DPS units, DoT applicators, boss killers

Golden (0.15% Drop Rate)

Effect: 30% damage boost, 20% more Yen gain. Grants golden appearance.

Strategic Analysis: Golden provides a 30% DPS increase plus significant economic benefits, making it unique among traits. It's particularly valuable for:

• Farm units (Bulby, C.E.O.) - Note: Weather Girl (Thief) only gets the damage boost
• Economic-focused strategies
• Early-game progression
• Players needing both combat and economic benefits

Best Units For: Bulby, C.E.O., any unit where you want dual combat/economic benefits

Christmas Update Impact: Golden trait's economic bonus has become more valuable with new expensive units and upgrades introduced in the Christmas update.

A Tier: Strong Specialized Traits

Reaper (0.8% Drop Rate)

Effect: 15% damage increase, 25% damage increase against bosses. Grants red and blackish aura.

Strategic Analysis: Reaper provides a 15% DPS increase normally, but jumps to 43.75% against bosses, making it specialized but powerful. Ideal for:

• Raid content
• Boss-focused stages
• Units already strong against bosses
• Players struggling with boss encounters

Best Units For: Captain (God), Curse (Contract), any high-damage single-target unit

Godspeed (1% Drop Rate)

Effect: 20% SPA reduction. Grants blue lightning aura.

Strategic Analysis: Godspeed provides a 25% DPS increase through attack speed and is perfect for slow but powerful units. Best suited for:

• Gene (???), Mimic Sorcerer (Cursed Child)
• Jackal (Alpha), Illusionist (Final)
• Hammer Giantess (Creation), Ice Queen (Empire's Strongest)
• Any unit with high damage but slow attack speed

Christmas Update Impact: Godspeed remains valuable for players who prefer faster-paced gameplay and want to maximize unit throughput.

B Tier: Situational But Useful Traits

Sniper (2.5% Drop Rate)

Effect: 25% range boost.

Strategic Analysis: Sniper is excellent for units that benefit from extended range but doesn't directly increase DPS. Best for:

• Operator (ROOM), Shadowgirl (Time Traveller)
• Commander, Wind Dragon, Elfy (Sylph)
• Hill units and support units
• Maps where placement flexibility is crucial

Culling (5% Drop Rate)

Effect: 20% damage boost to enemies with 30% or lower health.

Strategic Analysis: Culling provides an average 6% DPS increase and is situationally powerful for:

• Infinite modes with many low-health enemies
• Wave-clear strategies
• Units with high attack speed
• Content where enemies frequently drop to low health

Christmas Update Consideration: While Culling is Legendary rarity, its effect is often outperformed by Superior traits in most scenarios, making it a reroll candidate for many players.

C Tier: Solid Early-Game Traits

Superior III (4.5% Drop Rate)

Effect: 15% damage increase.

Strategic Analysis: Superior III provides a reliable 15% DPS increase and is excellent for:

• Early to mid-game progression
• Units where you haven't obtained better traits
• Players with limited reroll resources
• Rare and Epic units

Nimble III (3.75% Drop Rate)

Effect: 12% SPA reduction.

Strategic Analysis: Nimble III provides a 13.6% DPS increase through attack speed and is good for:

• Units that benefit from faster attacks
• Early-game optimization
• Players focusing on attack speed builds
• Alternative to Superior III for certain unit types

D Tier: Reroll Candidates

Range I, II, III (10% - 15% range increase)

Analysis: Range traits don't directly increase DPS and are generally inferior to damage or speed improvements. Keep only on specific units that benefit from range or when you have no other options.

Nimble I, II (5% - 7.5% SPA reduction)

Analysis: Lower-tier speed improvements that are outclassed by better traits. Reroll these when possible on Legendary and Mythical units.

Superior I, II (10% - 12.5% damage increase)

Analysis: Basic damage improvements that are decent for early game but should be rerolled on higher-rarity units.

Trait Rerolling Strategy

Understanding Reroll Costs

• Mythical units: 5 Star Remnants OR 1 Reroll Token
• Legendary units: 4 Star Remnants OR 1 Reroll Token
• Epic units: 3 Star Remnants OR 1 Reroll Token
• Rare units: 2 Star Remnants OR 1 Reroll Token
• Common units: 1 Star Remnant OR 1 Reroll Token

Pro Rerolling Tips

• Prioritize Reroll Tokens for Mythicals: Always use Reroll Tokens on Mythical units as they're much more efficient than Star Remnants.
• Save Resources for High-Rarity Units: Don't waste reroll resources on Rare and Common units unless they're core to your strategy.
• Double Trait Chance: Remember the 0.2% chance for double traits when rerolling—this can create incredibly powerful combinations.
• Trait Transfer Strategy: When evolving Legendary units to Mythical, traits transfer. Roll traits on the cheaper Legendary form first.
• Economic Considerations: Consider the cost-benefit ratio of rerolling versus investing in new units or upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rarest trait in Anime Adventures?

Unique is the rarest trait at 0.1% drop rate, followed by Golden at 0.15% and Divine at 0.2%.

Can you have multiple traits on one unit?

Yes, there's a 0.2% chance to get double traits when rerolling, and newly obtained units have a 1% chance for traits with an additional 1% chance for double traits.

Should I reroll traits on Rare units?

Generally no, unless the trait is completely useless (like Range traits on damage-focused units). Save your reroll resources for Legendary and Mythical units.

What's the best trait for farming?

Golden is the best trait for farming as it provides both a 30% damage boost and 20% increased Yen gain, making it perfect for units like Bulby and C.E.O.

Do traits transfer when evolving units?

Yes, when evolving a Legendary unit to Mythical, its trait will transfer. This makes it more cost-effective to roll traits on the Legendary form first.

How do I get more Reroll Tokens?

Reroll Tokens can be obtained from Battlepasses, Evolution Quests, events, trading, and sometimes purchased with Robux.

What's the difference between Star Remnants and Reroll Tokens?

Star Remnants are consumed based on unit rarity (1-5 for Common to Mythical), while Reroll Tokens always cost 1 per roll regardless of unit rarity.

Is it worth keeping Adept trait?

Adept is only worth keeping on low-level units (below level 15) for faster leveling. Once units are leveled, reroll it for combat-focused traits.

Expert Tips and Advanced Strategies

Trait Synergy Combinations

• Double Mythical Traits: If you're lucky enough to get double traits, aim for combinations like Unique + Divine or Celestial + Golden for maximum effectiveness.
• Team Composition: Build teams around your best traits rather than forcing traits onto units that don't benefit from them.
• Content-Specific Traits: Switch traits based on content—Reaper for boss raids, Celestial for resistant enemies, Golden for farming sessions.

Advanced Rerolling Mathematics

• Expected Value Calculation: Consider the probability improvement versus resource cost when deciding whether to reroll.
• Break-even Analysis: Calculate how many additional resources a better trait will generate to determine if rerolling is worth it.
• Opportunity Cost: Consider what else you could do with reroll resources (new units, upgrades, etc.).

Long-term Trait Strategy

• Early Game: Focus on collecting any decent traits (Superior III, Nimble III) and save resources.
• Mid Game: Start rerolling for S and A tier traits on your core units.
• Late Game: Target SS and S tier traits specifically, with willingness to invest significant resources.
• End Game: Perfect trait optimization with double mythical traits on key units.

Conclusion

This Anime Adventures Traits Tier List for the Christmas Update October 2025 provides you with everything needed to make informed decisions about trait selection and rerolling. Remember that while SS and S tier traits offer the highest power potential, the best trait for you depends on your specific units, playstyle, and current content focus.
