SpongeBob TD is one of those TD experiences where there are virtually no tooltips in the game. There is missing info about units and traits, and you, as the player, will have to figure out almost everything yourself. Well, not everything, as we'll help you with traits and rerolling! Scroll down and check out our definitive SpongeBob Tower Defense traits tier list and reroll guide.
SpongeBob Tower Defense Traits Tier List
| Tier | Traits |
|---|---|
| S |     |
| A |     |
| B |      |
| C |       |
You can find the tier list of all traits in SpongeBob Tower Defense in the table above. Generally, the higher the rarity of a trait, the better it is. However, Scholar and Wealth's effects are fairly weak when you take into consideration all game mechanics, making them bad choices.
The three pure stat-boosting traits (Surge, Reach, Strike) are pretty default, and if you get a tier-3 one, it's usually worth sitting on it, especially on non-mythic units. As to which of those three is best, generally Surge because SPA is king, then Reach, and finally Strike.
