A premium all-around trait recommended for top damage dealers and many support units. It improves offensive performance and is one of the main endgame reroll targets.
Cloner
A highly valuable trait that provides additional unit deployment through its cloning effect. It is a strong alternative to Superior for many damage-focused builds.
Entrepreneur
An economy-oriented trait that reduces deployment costs and improves unit efficiency. It is especially valuable on Fastwagon and other economy-focused setups.
Rebirth
A defensive survival trait suited to frontline units. It is specifically recommended as a priority option for Yubacha (The Almighty) in role-based build advice.
