Traits are the system in Anime Squadron that set the ceiling for every unit, each unit permanently carries one trait, and landing Superior can elevate an otherwise average unit into a powerhouse. This guide covers all 14 traits: their effects, reroll hit rates, tier rankings, and priority order, plus how to reroll at the Traits NPC using Trait Shards, where to farm Shards, and the ongoing community debate over whether a pity system exists. Anime Squadron launched on 2026-06-13 and numbers are still being established, uncertain data is flagged with confidence labels throughout, and in-game values always take precedence.
What Are Traits
In Anime Squadron, Traits are permanent upgrade labels attached to a unit, each unit can only carry one trait at a time, and once rolled, it stays active permanently through leveling, evolving, and deployment. Traits buff multiple stats: DMG, HP, Range, Cooldown, Cost, and Spawn count. A top-tier trait can push an otherwise middling unit well beyond its baseline, so the trait a unit carries often matters more than its position on the tier list.
Also, don't confuse trait rerolling with stat-grade rerolling, they are two completely separate systems. Traits are handled at the Traits NPC using Trait Shards; a unit's stat grade is handled at the Stat-Reroll NPC across from it using Reroll Cubes / Perfect Cubes. The two systems are fully independent. This page covers traits only.
All Traits (14 Total)
The table below lists all 14 community-confirmed traits, with their effects and single-roll hit rates. The tier column is only filled in where the community has a clear consensus on a trait's strength; blank entries indicate mid-tier or situational traits.
| Trait | Effect | 出现概率 | 档位 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superior | +200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% Range, -15% Cooldown, +1 Spawn cap | 0.1% | SS |
| Cloner | +40% DMG, +60% HP, spawns 2 additional units | 0.2% | SS |
| Entrepreneur | -40% Cost, +30% DMG, +30% HP | 0.3% | S |
| Rebirth | +35% DMG, +50% HP, +20% Range, revives once at half HP | 0.4% | S |
| Juggernaut | +50% HP | 1.25% | - |
| Sniper | +20% DMG, +40% Range | 1.25% | - |
| Lethal | +20% DMG, -10% Cooldown | 1.25% | - |

Trait Tiers & Priority Guide
All 14 traits ranked by practical value, with priority breakdowns by unit role.
- SS (Priority targets)
- Superior, Cloner, the only traits genuinely worth spending Trait Shards to chase. 单源存疑
- S (Solid fallbacks)
- Entrepreneur, Rebirth, safe to stop and keep either of these. 单源存疑
- D (Reroll immediately)
- Sight, Endure, Tank, gains are too small; keeping them wastes a trait slot. 单源存疑
General priority order: Superior > Cloner > Entrepreneur > Rebirth. These four are the target traits to mark when setting up Auto Reroll, everything else is a stopgap. You can break this down further by unit role:
- DPS units: Superior > Cloner > Rebirth > Lethal > Sniper, prioritize damage output and survivability.
- Expensive / SS-tier carries: Superior > Entrepreneur > Cloner > Wealthy > Rebirth, Entrepreneur's -40% Cost reduction is enormous value on high-cost units like Goki SSJ4, Big Beard, and Karashi, letting you deploy them far earlier in a run.
- Tanks / Frontliners: Superior > Rebirth > Juggernaut > Cloner > Tank, Rebirth's half-HP revive makes frontliners dramatically more durable.
How to Reroll Traits
Rerolling is done at the Traits NPC in the Upgrade area and costs Trait Shards. Here's the full step-by-step, including the Auto Reroll feature that lets you idle until a target trait drops.
- 1Find the Traits NPCHead to the Upgrade area and locate the Traits NPC, it sits directly across from the Stat-Reroll NPC. Make sure you're at the right one and not the stat-reroll side.
- 2Select the unit to rerollInteract with the NPC and click the plus (+) button to pick a unit from your roster.
- 3RollHit Roll, each roll costs a set amount of Trait Shards, randomly assigns a new trait according to the probabilities in the table above, and overwrites the current trait.
- 4Enable Auto Reroll + ConfigClick Config and check the target traits you want (e.g. Superior, Cloner, Entrepreneur), then enable Auto Reroll. The system will keep rolling automatically until it hits one of your marked targets, perfect for farming Superior while you're away.
- 5Stop when you hit a keeperSince there's no lock mechanic, stop the moment you land a keeper (Superior / Cloner, or an acceptable Entrepreneur / Rebirth). Do not keep rolling.
How to Farm Trait Shards
All trait rerolling runs on Trait Shards. Here are the main sources, roughly in order of efficiency.
- Redeem Codes (fastest free source): Launch-period codes frequently hand out large amounts of Trait Shards / Trait Rerolls, always redeem all available codes on a new account before spending anything.
- Raids, Act 4 drops the best loot: The primary mid-to-late-game Shard farm; see Game Modes for details.
- Challenge Acts: A reliable recurring source, especially repeatable challenge stages.
- AFK Chamber (AFK Zone): Passively accumulates Shards and other rewards while you're offline.
- Quests / Battle Pass: Delivered in chunks at various milestones.
- Group / Milestone Rewards: Unlocked as you level up and hit milestone thresholds.
- Robux Bundles: Trait Shards packs are available for direct purchase with Robux.
Probability & Pity Dispute
Two other common pitfalls worth noting: some sites use Trait Rerolls and Trait Shards interchangeably, for the exact type and quantity of any reward, always check in-game. Separately, at least one source claims Perfect Cubes can also be used for trait rerolling, but every dedicated traits guide consistently states that trait rerolling uses only Trait Shards, Perfect Cubes belong to the separate stat-grade system. When sources conflict, trust the actual in-game interface.
