In the world of Anime Crusaders, collecting your favorite units is only half the battle. The true power spike that separates beginners from end-game players lies in mastering the Trait system. These special buffs can transform a decent unit into an absolute powerhouse, granting massive bonuses to Damage, Cooldown Reduction, Range, and more. They are essential for pushing high-level Infinite Mode waves, defeating challenging bosses, and maximizing your farming efficiency.
But with so many traits and a reroll system based on rare Divine Tokens, knowing where to invest is crucial. This guide will be your ultimate resource. We’ll break down how to get traits, provide a definitive tier list, and offer strategic advice on choosing the perfect trait for every unit in your roster. Let’s unlock your team’s true potential.
Understanding Traits & The Reroll Mechanic
What is a Trait?
A Trait is a special, permanent modifier that can be applied to a unit. It provides significant statistical bonuses, such as:
Increased Damage
Reduced Attack Cooldown
Extended Attack Range
Bonus Currency (Yen)
Specialized Damage (e.g., Boss Damage, True Damage, Toxic DoT)
A well-chosen trait can fundamentally change a unit’s role and effectiveness, turning a standard damage dealer into a game-clearing monster or a support unit into a farming specialist.
How to Get & Use Traits: Farming Divine Tokens
The primary currency for obtaining and rerolling traits is the Divine Token. Here’s how to get them:
Event Quests: Limited-time events often offer Divine Tokens as top-tier rewards.
Story & Infinite Mode Quests: Progressing through the game’s main and endless modes will reward you with tokens at certain milestones.
Gacha/Summon Banners: Pulling duplicate units from banners often grants Divine Tokens.
Robux Purchase: Divine Tokens can be bought directly from the shop for Robux.
Tips for Farming Divine Tokens Efficiently:
Complete Dailies & Events: This is your most consistent free source. Never skip them.
Push Story/Infinite Mode: The further you progress, the more tokens you’ll earn from quest rewards.
Manage Your Gems: While not ideal, summoning on banners for duplicates is a viable, though RNG-dependent, method.
The Trait Reroll Guide:
Go to the main lobby and find the “Trait & Evolve” NPC or building.
Select the unit you want to assign a trait to.
You will see an option to “Add Trait” or “Reroll Trait.”
Using 1 Divine Token, you can roll for a random trait. This will replace any existing trait on the unit.
Trait Reroll Odds:
The system has two layers of RNG:
Getting a Trait: There is a base chance to receive any trait when you reroll.
Getting a Double Trait: There is a separate, very rare (approximately 1%) chance that your reroll will grant the unit two traits instead of one, making them exponentially more powerful. This can happen both when rerolling and, very rarely, when initially obtaining a new unit.
Anime Crusaders Traits Tier List (Best to Worst)
This tier list is based on a trait’s raw statistical bonus, flexibility across different units and game modes, and its overall impact on your progression speed. Odds are approximate and based on community data.
S+ Tier (Game-Breaking & Overpowered)
Crusader (Odds: ~0.1%)
Explanation: The undisputed king of traits. It provides a colossal +300% Damage bonus alongside valuable Cooldown and Range increases. This trait alone can make any unit your main damage dealer.
Recommendation: An absolute must-have for your primary DPS unit (e.g., Sung Jin-Woo, Shadow, Broly).
S Tier (Meta-Defining)
Biohazard (Odds: ~0.15%)
Explanation: Inflicts powerful Toxic Damage-over-Time (DoT). Exceptionally effective against high-health targets and bosses, as the DoT scales and melts their health bars.
Recommendation: Perfect for fast-attacking DPS units or any character you use for boss fights.
Radiant (Odds: ~0.2%)
Explanation: Offers a perfectly balanced and powerful combination of increased Damage and reduced Attack Cooldown. It’s a versatile, top-tier choice for almost any situation.
Recommendation: Excellent on all DPS units, especially those who already have high damage but slow attack speed.
A Tier (Very Strong & Flexible)
Aurora (Odds: ~0.36%)
Explanation: Provides True Damage (which ignores resistances) and a Range bonus. Incredibly useful for dealing with tanky enemies in later waves.
Recommendation: Great on ranged DPS units to keep them safe and ensure their damage always counts.
Eclipse (Odds: ~0.8%)
Explanation: Focuses purely on annihilating bosses with a huge Boss Damage multiplier.
Recommendation: The specialized choice for your boss-killing team and raid compositions.
Overdrive (Odds: ~1.5%)
Explanation: Grants a massive Attack Cooldown reduction. Turns slow, hard-hitting units into rapid-fire machines.
Recommendation: Ideal for units with powerful attacks but long cooldowns, or for support units who need to spam their abilities.
B Tier (Situational & Niche)
Glided (Odds: ~5%)
Explanation: The best farming trait in the game. It provides a +30% Yen bonus from kills.
Recommendation: Essential to put on your farming units, especially Speedcart. Do not use this on DPS units.
Hawkeye (Odds: ~2.5%)
Explanation: Significantly increases Range. Can turn a melee unit into a short-range fighter or a sniper into a map-wide dominator.
Recommendation: Use on powerful units with unfortunately short range.
Tactician (Odds: ~9.99%)
Explanation: Increases Unit XP Gain, helping new units level up faster.
Recommendation: A good early-game trait to accelerate your progression, but replace it later.
C Tier (Less Optimal)
Fierce (Odds: ~29.8%)
Explanation: A small, basic Damage bonus. It’s outclassed by every trait in the higher tiers.
Agile (Odds: ~24.8%)
Explanation: A small Cooldown reduction. The effect is often negligible compared to Overdrive.
Focus (Odds: ~24.8%)
Explanation: A small Range increase. Hawkeye is a strictly better version.
Strategic Guide: Choosing the Best Trait for Your Needs
This section helps you move beyond the tier list and make smart, strategic decisions.
For Your Main DPS Unit: Your goal is maximum damage. Crusader is the ultimate prize. If you don’t have it, prioritize Radiant for balance or Biohazard for boss melting. Aurora is also a fantastic choice.
For Farming Units: This is non-negotiable. Always use Glided. The bonus Yen will supercharge your economy, allowing you to upgrade other units faster.
For Support Units: If the support unit has a crucial ability (e.g., a heal or buff), Overdrive can help them use it more often. Otherwise, consider giving them a Glided trait if your main farmer already has one, or a utility trait like Tactician.
For Boss-Killing / Raid Teams: Specialize! Eclipse is your top pick for raw boss damage. Pairing a unit with Eclipse and Biohazard (if you get a double trait) is the dream scenario for boss fights.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What’s the difference between a single trait and double traits?
A: A single trait provides one bonus (e.g., +Damage). Double traits provide two separate bonuses (e.g., +Damage and +Range), making a unit vastly more powerful. The chance to get a double trait on a reroll is very low (~1%).
Q: How many Divine Tokens does one reroll cost?
A: Typically, one reroll attempt costs 1 Divine Token. Always check the game interface, as costs can change during special events.
Q: Can I remove a trait I don’t like?
A: You cannot “remove” a trait to leave the slot empty. You can only replace it by performing another reroll with a Divine Token, which will overwrite the old trait with a new one.
Q: Can I transfer a trait from one unit to another?
A: No, traits are permanently bound to the specific unit they are rolled on. They cannot be moved or transferred. You must roll traits for each unit individually.
Q: I used a Divine Token but didn’t get a trait. Why?
A: The reroll process has a chance to grant a trait; it is not guaranteed. Most of the time, you will get a common (C-Tier) trait. There is also a small chance to get no trait change or, very rarely, a double trait.
Conclusion
Mastering the trait system is the final step in becoming an Anime Crusaders expert. Remember: chase Crusader for your carries, lock Glided on your farmers, and use specialized traits like Eclipse for the toughest bosses.
Farming Divine Tokens takes time, so make your rerolls count. Be patient, strategize which units to prioritize, and you’ll see a dramatic improvement in your power level.
