SpongeBob Tower Defense Traits Tier List [Update 3] (January 2025)

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.

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.

SpongeBob TD Traits List

Below is the list of all traits in SpongeBob Tower Defense and their effects. Some numbers in the table are approximations as the exact stats aren't displayed in the game, and data mining for that kind of information is impossible.

Trait	Effect	Pros & Cons
Secret Formula (0.5%)	+50% DMG –50% SPA +50% RNG Bikini Bottom's greatest & strongest mystery!	+ The best trait in the game
Vortex (1%)	–35% SPA Greatly increases unit's attack speed!	+ Excellent for DPS & Slow units + 2nd best trait in the game
Wealth (2.5%)	–25% Placement & Upgrade Cost Reduces unit upgrade cost!	+ Can be somewhat okay for story stages – Borderline worthless for endless – One of the worst traits in the game
Pursuit (6%)	+50% RNG Greatly increases unit's range!	+ Very good range bonus for such a "common" trait + Line and AoE units benefit a lot from it – Slow units don't benefit much from it
Scholar (12%)	+100% XP Gain Increases unit's XP gain. Doesn't apply to food items.	+ Will make leveling units easier – Doesn't work with food items – Generally useless as unit stats aren't that affected by levels
Surge III (8.66%)	–20% SPA Increases unit's attack speed!	+ SPA is often the best stat to have + Extremely useful for slow and other utility units – Vortex would be ideal
Surge II (8.66%)	–15% SPA Increases unit's attack speed!	• Same as Surge III
Surge I (8.66%)	–5% SPA Increases unit's attack speed!	• Same as Surge III
Reach III (8.66%)	+25% RNG Increases unit's range!	+ Provides excellent value on maps with winding roads – SPA is often better to have
Reach II (8.66%)	+15% RNG Increases unit's range!	• Same as Reach III
Reach I (8.66%)	+5% RNG Increases unit's range!	• Same as Reach III
Strike III (8.66%)	+25% DMG Increases unit's damage!	+ Better than Wealth and Scholar – DMG has a bit less value than RNG and SPA
Strike II (8.66%)	+15% DMG Increases unit's damage!	• Same as Strike III
Strike I (8.66%)	+5% DMG Increases unit's damage!	• Same as Strike III
