In SpongeBob Tower Defense, traits play a crucial role in enhancing the capabilities of your units. By default, all units come with no traits and only their base stats, which means you’ll need to apply traits to make them more powerful. This guide will walk you through the tier list for all traits in the game, how to reroll traits, and the best strategies for improving your units.
How to Get Traits in SpongeBob Tower Defense
To apply traits to your units, you’ll need to interact with the Sandy Cheeks NPC. Previously located in the Challenges area, Sandy has now been moved to the Summon Area in the latest update. Here, you’ll be able to reroll traits for your units, but note that this service requires the purchase of Trait Rerolls using Robux.
Traits Tier List: Best Traits to Use for Your Units
Traits in SpongeBob Tower Defense are divided into four categories based on their effectiveness, from S-tier (best) to C-tier (least useful). Here’s a breakdown of each tier and the traits you should prioritize:
S-Tier: Most Overpowered Traits
These traits will make a significant impact on your units’ performance, especially for mythic units. They are hard to come by but are worth the effort if you manage to get them. Since only one trait can be applied per unit, you’ll need to choose wisely.
- Secret Formula
- Drop Chance: 0.5%
- Effect: Doubles the unit’s overall damage, making it one of the most potent traits in the game.
- Tip: Ideal for boosting damage-dealing units.
- Vortex
- Drop Chance: 1%
- Effect: Greatly increases the unit’s attack speed, allowing for faster damage output.
- Tip: Perfect for units that rely on quick attacks, especially those with high base damage.
A-Tier: Highly Useful Traits
While not as game-breaking as S-tier traits, these are still highly valuable and can greatly enhance your unit’s effectiveness in battle.
- Wealth
- Drop Chance: 2.5%
- Effect: Reduces the unit’s upgrade cost, making it easier to level up units faster.
- Tip: Extremely useful for long-term sustainability in battles as it makes upgrading less resource-intensive.
- Pursuit
- Drop Chance: 6%
- Effect: Increases the unit’s range significantly, allowing it to target enemies from farther away.
- Tip: Ideal for sniper-like units or those that benefit from higher range to target enemies before they get too close.
B-Tier: Decent Alternatives
While these traits may not be as powerful as S and A-tier traits, they still provide solid benefits and are worth keeping if you can’t roll higher-tier traits.
- Scholar
- Drop Chance: 12%
- Effect: Increases the unit’s XP gain, allowing for faster leveling up.
- Tip: A good choice for units that benefit from faster progression.
- Surge
- Drop Chance: 26%
- Effect: Increases the unit’s attack speed, which is particularly useful for units with high base damage.
- Tip: If you have a unit that does well with rapid attacks, Surge will enhance its effectiveness.
C-Tier: Starter Traits
These traits are the most common and are generally considered weak. They offer minor buffs and should be replaced as soon as you have the chance to reroll for a better trait.
- Reach
- Drop Chance: 26%
- Effect: Slightly increases the unit’s range.
- Tip: Useful early on but quickly becomes obsolete compared to better range-increasing traits like Pursuit.
- Strike
- Drop Chance: 26%
- Effect: Slightly increases the unit’s damage.
- Tip: Only useful in the very early stages of the game; it’s better to reroll for something more impactful as you progress.
How to Reroll Traits in SpongeBob Tower Defense
Rerolling traits is a key strategy for optimizing your units, and it’s fairly straightforward once you know where to go and how to use the Trait Rerolls.
Step-by-Step Reroll Process
- Head to the Poseidome Colosseum: Once you’re in the game, head to this area and turn right to find the Sandy Cheeks NPC, who is surrounded by red light.
- Purchase Trait Rerolls: You can buy Trait Rerolls using Robux. The options are:
- 5 Trait Rerolls: 595 Robux
- 25 Trait Rerolls: 3,795 Robux
- 100 Trait Rerolls: 11,399 Robux
- Apply Traits:
- Press the Plus button to add a unit you want to apply the trait to.
- Press the Reroll button to start the process.
- Repeat: Each reroll removes the old trait and replaces it with a new one, so keep rerolling until you get a desirable trait for your unit.
When it comes to SpongeBob Tower Defense, traits can make or break your units’ effectiveness on the battlefield. While S-tier traits like Secret Formula and Vortex offer immense power boosts, A-tier traits like Wealth and Pursuit can enhance your units’ efficiency and flexibility. Make sure to carefully manage your rerolls and focus on improving your units with the traits that best suit your strategy. Happy rerolling, and may your units become unstoppable!
