Traits play a big role in how strong your units perform in Anime Overload. While every trait gives some kind of boost, not all of them are worth keeping long term. Some traits offer massive damage, range, and utility, while others only provide small bonuses that quickly fall off. If you are trying to build strong units or push harder content, knowing which traits to keep and which to reroll is very important. This guide breaks down every trait into tiers so you can decide what to aim for.

Traits in Anime Overload can completely change how strong your units feel in battle. While early traits can help you progress, your goal should always be to move toward higher-tier options like Overloaded, Voidborn, or Radiant. If you are unsure what to keep, focus on traits that boost damage, reduce SPA, or improve crit stats. These provide the most value in almost every situation. Over time, reroll weaker traits and aim for the top tiers to maximize your team’s performance.
