Understanding the Anime Ascendants Trait System
Traits are special abilities that permanently boost your units’ stats in Anime Ascendants. They’re one of the most important systems in the game because they can dramatically increase your units’ power. When you summon a unit, it might come with a trait already attached, but this is rare and random. The main way to get good traits is through the reroll system.
There are 17 different traits in Anime Ascendants, ranging from common to extremely rare Mythic traits. Each trait falls into a rarity tier: Rare, Epic, Legendary, or Mythic. Generally, the rarer the trait, the more powerful it is. Traits can boost three main stats: Damage, Cooldown Reduction (which means faster attacks), and Range.
The trait system was completely reworked when the game changed from Special Anime Defense to Anime Ascendants, making it more strategic and important than ever before. Understanding which traits work best for different situations will help you build much stronger teams and progress faster through the game.
Complete Anime Ascendants Traits Tier List
This tier list ranks all traits based on their overall impact, versatility, and value in both general progression and endgame content. We’ve analyzed each trait’s effectiveness across different game modes and unit types to give you the most accurate rankings possible.
S+ Tier: Game-Changing Traits
Ascendant
Effect: Unit gets +325% Damage, +15% Range, -15% Cooldown. All allies get +35% Damage, +20 Range, -10% Cooldown. Only one Ascendant unit can be placed at a time.Drop Chance: 0.1%Best For: Your strongest DPS unit
Ascendant is without question the best trait in Anime Ascendants. It turns one unit into an absolute monster while also making every other unit on your team significantly stronger. The global buffs work everywhere on the map, so you don’t need to worry about positioning. The only limitation is that you can only have one Ascendant unit placed at a time, so make sure to put it on your absolute best carry unit.
S Tier: Elite Traits
Singularity
Effect: +250% Damage, +10% Range, -5% CooldownDrop Chance: 0.125%Best For: Main DPS units when you don’t have Ascendant
Singularity provides the biggest raw damage boost in the game after Ascendant. If you’re lucky enough to get this trait, put it on your primary damage dealer and watch them tear through enemies. It’s especially effective on units that already have high base damage.
Berserker
Effect: +20% Damage, -15% Cooldown, +35% Boss DamageDrop Chance: 0.4%Best For: Boss-focused DPS units
Berserker is the ultimate boss-killing trait. The massive bonus damage against bosses, combined with cooldown reduction and a solid damage boost, makes it perfect for raid events and difficult stages with tough enemies. If you struggle with bosses, this trait will solve your problems.
Supernova
Effect: +25% Damage, +10% Range, -15% CooldownDrop Chance: 0.5%Best For: All-around DPS units
Supernova is an excellent all-rounder trait that offers a great mix of damage, range, and cooldown reduction. While it doesn’t excel in any single area like some other S-tier traits, its balanced nature makes it fantastic for almost any DPS unit.
Slayer
Effect: +10% Damage, +5% Range, +25% Boss DamageDrop Chance: 0.7%Best For: Secondary boss-focused units
Slayer is similar to Berserker but with less overall power. It’s still an excellent trait for boss content, especially if you don’t have Berserker available. The boss damage bonus is substantial and can make a big difference in raids.
Golden
Effect: +30% Damage, +25% MoneyDrop Chance: 0.3%Best For: Farm and economy units
Golden is unique because it helps both your combat power and your economy. The money bonus accelerates your resource generation, while the damage boost keeps the unit relevant in combat. Put this trait on units that both farm and fight for maximum efficiency.
A Tier: Strong and Reliable Traits
Godspeed
Effect: -25% CooldownDrop Chance: 1%Best For: High-damage units that benefit from attack speed
Godspeed provides the biggest cooldown reduction in the game, which translates to faster attacks and higher DPS. This trait is especially valuable on units with high base damage or those that have on-hit effects.
Expertion
Effect: +20 XPDrop Chance: 4.925%Best For: Units you use for grinding and leveling
Expertion doesn’t help in combat, but it’s incredibly valuable for leveling up your units faster. Put this trait on units you bring to every farming run, then switch to combat traits once those units are max level.
Strong III
Effect: +15% DamageDrop Chance: 4.25%Best For: Any damage-focused unit
Strong III is a straightforward but powerful damage boost. It’s not as flashy as some other traits, but a 15% damage increase is nothing to sneeze at. This trait works well on almost any DPS unit.
Nimble III
Effect: -15% CooldownDrop Chance: 4.25%Best For: Units that benefit from faster attacks
Nimble III provides a solid cooldown reduction that increases your unit’s attack speed. For most units, this actually provides more effective DPS than an equivalent damage boost because more attacks mean more chances for on-hit effects and better overkill distribution.
Range III
Effect: +15% RangeDrop Chance: 4.25%Best For: Units that need extra reach
Range III gives a significant boost to attack range, allowing your units to hit enemies from further away. This is particularly useful on maps with long paths or for backline units that you want to keep safe.
B Tier: Decent Mid-Game Traits
Nimble II
Effect: -10% CooldownBest For: Temporary use on DPS units
Nimble II is the best trait in the B tier because cooldown reduction is generally more valuable than pure damage or range. It’s a decent placeholder while you work toward better traits.
Strong II
Effect: +10% DamageBest For: Early to mid-game damage units
Strong II provides a respectable damage boost that works well enough during the mid-game. However, you should aim to replace it with higher-tier traits as soon as possible.
Range II
Effect: +10% RangeBest For: Units that benefit from extra positioning options
Range II offers a modest range increase that can be helpful on certain map layouts. However, range is generally less impactful than damage or cooldown reduction, making this the weakest B-tier option.
C Tier: Early Game Placeholders
Nimble I
Effect: -5% CooldownBest For: Very early game use
Nimble I is the best of the C-tier traits because even a small cooldown reduction can be helpful. However, you should reroll this as soon as you have enough Magic Tokens.
Strong I
Effect: +5% DamageBest For: Brand new players
Strong I provides a small damage boost that’s barely noticeable. It’s better than nothing when you’re just starting, but don’t keep it for long.
D Tier: Avoid These Traits
Range I
Effect: +5% RangeBest For: None – always reroll
Range I is the weakest trait in the game. The 5% range increase is so minimal that it rarely makes any meaningful difference. Always reroll this trait if you get it.
How to Reroll Traits in Anime Ascendants
Rerolling traits is the most reliable way to get the best traits for your units. The process is straightforward, but there are some important strategies to keep in mind to make the most of your resources.
Step-by-Step Reroll Guide
- Go to the Summon Area: From the main hub, navigate to the Summon section where you roll for new units.
- Find Miki: Look for an NPC named Miki with a large orange Traits sign above their head. You’ll find them by turning immediately right when you enter the Summon room.
- Interact with Miki: Walk up to Miki and press E to open the traits menu.
- Select Your Unit: Choose which unit from your roster you want to reroll a trait for.
- Reroll the Trait: Click the pink “Reroll” button to spend one Magic Token and get a new random trait.
- Decide Whether to Keep It: A window will show you the new trait. You can choose to keep the new trait or stick with your old one. Either way, the Magic Token is consumed.
Important Reroll Strategies
Save Your Magic Tokens: Magic Tokens are valuable and limited resources. Don’t waste them rerolling traits on early-game units that you’ll replace quickly. Instead, save them for your core, end-game units that you plan to use for a long time.
Prioritize Your Best Units: Focus your reroll efforts on your strongest and most-used units. A good trait on a powerful unit will have much more impact than a perfect trait on a weak unit.
Know When to Stop: If you get an A-tier or better trait on an important unit, it’s often worth keeping rather than continuing to chase the perfect S-tier trait. The chance of getting better traits decreases as you already have good ones.
Consider Unit Role: Different units benefit from different traits. DPS units want damage and cooldown reduction, farm units want Golden, and support units might want utility traits. Keep the unit’s role in mind when deciding whether to keep a trait.
Best Traits for Different Unit Types
Not all traits work equally well on every type of unit. Understanding which traits are best for different unit roles will help you make better decisions when rerolling.
Meta DPS Carries
For your main damage dealers like Sukuno, Yuto, Itochi, and other top-tier units:
- Best: Ascendant > Singularity > Berserker > Supernova
- Good Alternatives: Godspeed, Nimble III, Strong III
These units need maximum damage output, so prioritize traits that boost their damage and attack speed. Ascendant is the absolute best if you can get it, as it also helps your entire team.
Boss Specialists
Units dedicated to taking down raid bosses and tough enemies:
- Best: Berserker > Slayer
- Good Alternative: Singularity (for raw power)
Boss-focused units benefit massively from the bonus boss damage on Berserker and Slayer. These traits can make boss phases go much faster and easier.
Farm and Economy Units
Units like Bolma that generate resources:
- Best: Golden
- Good Alternatives: Strong III, Supernova
Golden is unmatched for farm units because it boosts both their money generation and combat effectiveness. This lets them contribute to your economy while still helping clear waves.
Support Units
Units that buff or assist your team:
- Best: Godspeed, Expertion
- Good Alternatives: Nimble III
Support units generally benefit from traits that help them perform their role more frequently (cooldown reduction) or help your team level faster (Expertion).
Cooldown vs Damage vs Range: Which Matters Most?
When you’re choosing between the basic trait types (Strong, Nimble, Range), it’s important to understand which stat provides the most value for your units.
Cooldown Reduction (Nimble)
Cooldown reduction is generally the most valuable stat for most units because:
- More attacks per second directly increase DPS
- Faster attacks work better with on-hit effects
- Better overkill distribution (less damage wasted on overkilling enemies)
- Helps units charge abilities faster
Priority: Highest for most units, especially multi-hit or AoE units
Damage (Strong)
Damage boosts are straightforward and valuable, especially for:
- Units with slow, heavy-hitting attacks
- Boss fights where enemies have very high HP
- Units that don’t benefit as much from attack speed
Priority: Second highest, best for slow-attacking units
Range (Range)
Range increases are situational but valuable for:
- Maps with long paths or multiple lanes
- Backline units that need to stay safe
- Units with AoE effects that benefit from larger coverage
Priority: Lowest overall, only take when map layout specifically rewards it
When choosing between equivalent tiers (like Nimble III vs Strong III vs Range III), generally prioritize Nimble > Strong > Range for the best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best traits in Anime Ascendants?
The best traits in Anime Ascendants are Ascendant (S+ tier), followed by Singularity, Berserker, Supernova, Slayer, and Golden (all S tier). Ascendant is considered the best overall trait because it provides massive buffs to both the unit and your entire team. Singularity offers the highest raw damage boost, while Berserker and Slayer excel at boss killing. Supernova is a great all-rounder, and Golden helps with both damage and economy.
How do I reroll traits in Anime Ascendants?
To reroll traits in Anime Ascendants, go to the Summon area and find the NPC named Miki with an orange Traits sign. Interact with Miki, select the unit you want to reroll, and click the pink Reroll button. This costs one Magic Token per reroll. You can choose to keep the new trait or stick with your old one, but the token is consumed either way. Save your Magic Tokens for your best units rather than spending them on early-game placeholders.
Can units have multiple traits at the same time?
Yes, units can have multiple traits simultaneously, though it’s rare. Some units can even roll with double or triple traits when you summon them. However, when rerolling traits through Miki, you’re only changing one trait at a time. Having multiple good traits on a single unit can make it extremely powerful, but don’t count on this happening often due to the low probability.
What currency do I need to reroll traits?
You need Magic Tokens to reroll traits in Anime Ascendants. Each reroll costs one Magic Token, regardless of the trait you’re replacing or hoping to get. Magic Tokens are a valuable and limited resource, so it’s important to spend them wisely. Focus on rerolling traits for your core, end-game units rather than wasting them on units you’ll replace quickly.
Is the Ascendant trait’s buff global?
Yes, the Ascendant trait’s ally buff is global and affects all your units everywhere on the map. The global buffs include +35% Damage, +20 Range, and -10% Cooldown for all your units. This makes Ascendant incredibly valuable because placing one Ascendant unit automatically makes your entire team stronger, no matter where they’re positioned on the battlefield.
Which basic trait type is best: Nimble, Strong, or Range?
Nimble (cooldown reduction) is generally the best basic trait type for most units because faster attacks lead to higher DPS and better interaction with on-hit effects. Strong (damage) is the second best option, especially for slow-attacking units. Range is the least impactful overall and should only be prioritized when map layout specifically benefits from extra reach. When choosing between equivalent tiers, prioritize Nimble > Strong > Range.
Should I reroll traits immediately when starting the game?
No, you shouldn’t worry too much about rerolling traits when you first start playing Anime Ascendants. Early in the game, you’ll be replacing units frequently as you progress, so it’s better to save your Magic Tokens. Use whatever traits you get naturally from summoning, even if they’re low-tier ones like Nimble I or Strong I. Start seriously rerolling once you have secured powerful, permanent units for your team and have accumulated a good stock of Magic Tokens.
Conclusion
Mastering the trait system is essential for success in Anime Ascendants. By understanding which traits are best and how to reroll effectively, you can dramatically improve your team’s power and progress through the game much faster. Prioritize S-tier traits like Ascendant, Singularity, and Berserker for your main damage dealers, use Golden on your farm units, and save your Magic Tokens for your best units rather than spending them on early-game placeholders.
Remember that the meta can change with game updates, so stay flexible and adapt your strategy as needed. Focus on building a balanced team with appropriate traits for each unit’s role, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations. With the right traits and smart rerolling strategy, you’ll be well on your way to dominating Anime Ascendants and climbing to the top of the leaderboards.
