While there are plenty of traits you can equip on your units in Anime Overload, not all of them are created equal. While most of them are perfectly usable in their own right, there are some that simply outperform others and should be sought out as soon as possible. There are even some that, even though they are theoretically easier to obtain, offer more utility than their rarer counterparts. If you find all the traits a bit confusing and want a clearer picture on them, we have got you covered as we have created this comprehensive Trait Tier List.
Anime Overload Trait Tier List
When creating this Trait Tier List in Anime Overload, we have decided that there are no E tier traits, as all of them offer at least some form of advantage and are better than having none of them equipped. Aside from the benefits they offer, we also had to take into consideration how difficult some of these traits can be to acquire, so the tier list reflects that as well. Also keep in mind that even though some of these traits offer niche benefits, there are units with which they synergize excellently, which impacts their final position in the tier list.
With that being said, you can find our Trait Tier List below.

Close to being the best in Anime Overload but not quite, the S tier traits will still provide you with an insane competitive edge and are definitely worth going for.
| Trait | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Voidborn MYTHIC Drop Chance: 0.3% | Pros: One of the best damaging traits in the game which offers: - Damage increase of 20% - SPA reduction of 20% - An insane range increase of 60% - Crit chance and Crit damage increase of 20% Cons: Just slightly worse than Overloaded Still ridiculously difficult to obtain with only a 0.3% drop chance |

A Tier Good Traits
The traits found here are still worthwhile, but not the best out there. Still, they are worth getting and equipping to your favorite heroes.
| Unit | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Grace MYTHIC Drop Chance: 0.6% | Pros: The best XP gain trait in the game - Increases XP gain by 65% - Increases Takedowns by 50% - Increases Crit Chance by 40% Cons: Lacking in the damage department - Reduces Range by 35% - Still extremely difficult to obtain with only a 0.6% drop chance |
 Blind Rage LEGENDARY Drop Chance: 3.0% | Pros: Offers good damage increases - Increases Damage by 12.5% - Decreases SPA by 20% - Somewhat easier to obtain with a 3% drop chance Cons: Decreases Crit chance and Crit damage by 10% - Significantly better damage options exist |

B Tier Decent Traits
While B tier traits are still good and should benefit you in most situations, you should be looking to replace them with some of the traits from the higher tiers.
| Traits | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Thrift LEGENDARY Drop Chance: 5.1% | Pros: The only reason this Trait is in B tier and not any lower is because of the Farm Hero bonus it provides - If Farm Hero: Increases earnings by 20% - If Damage Hero: Reduces upgrade cost by 10% Cons: Lacks in ALL departments while still being somewhat hard to obtain |
C Tier Mediocre Traits
These Traits should be replaced as quickly as possible and are only slightly better than some of the worst traits in Anime Overload.
| Traits | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Sharpshot LEGENDARY Drop Chance: 10.1% | Pros: Decent Range increase of 20% that works well with long range characters and can sometimes come in clutch Cons: Offers literally nothing else even though its a Legendary trait with only a 10.1% drop chance |
 Wisdom LEGENDARY Drop Chance: 12.7% | Pros: Decent XP gain trait that offers: - An increase of XP gain by 30% - Increased Takedown amount by 15% Cons: XP does not mean much in a game where damage is king, provides no combat bonuses whatsoever |
 Brutality EPIC Drop Chance: 20.3% | Pros: Respectable damage increase of 10% Easy to acquire Cons: Does not give any other bonuses |
D Tier Starter Traits
By far the worst traits in Anime Overload, these ones are only useful at the very beginning of the game when Spins are not abundant and should be replaced at the first chance you get.
| Traits | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Extension EPIC Drop Chance: 24.6% | Pros: Actually synergizes very well with heroes with long range for damage, based on percentage scaling, while being the easiest Trait to obtain in the game - Provides a 12.5% Range increase Cons: No other benefits |
 Surge EPIC Drop Chance: 20.3% | Pros: Decreases SPA by 12.5% Better than nothing while being easy to obtain Cons: The worst trait in the game that offers nothing else |
