Understanding Anime Rangers X Traits
Anime Rangers X Traits are special modifiers that grant powerful stat boosts or unique effects to your units, significantly impacting their performance in battle. The right trait can transform an average unit into a powerhouse, while the wrong trait might leave even the strongest units underperforming. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about the trait system to maximize your team's potential.
How the Anime Rangers X Trait System Works
Every unit in Anime Rangers X can have up to two traits: a Main-Trait and a Sub-Trait. While Main-Traits are guaranteed for all units, Sub-Traits are extremely rare and provide additional minor boosts. Both traits can significantly change how your units perform in battle by affecting key stats like HP, damage, range, and even special mechanics like unit cost and spawn cap.
Main-Traits vs. Sub-Traits
Main-Traits are the primary trait modifiers that every unit receives. These can be rerolled using Trait Reroll Shards. Sub-Traits, on the other hand, have an extremely low chance of appearing (less than 1%) and provide additional minor stat boosts. Unlike Main-Traits, Sub-Traits cannot be directly rerolled—you'll need to reroll your Main-Trait and hope for a Sub-Trait to appear alongside it.
Complete Trait List and Effects
Anime Rangers X Traits are divided into rarity tiers, with rarer traits providing stronger effects. Here's the complete list of all traits and their effects:

Trait Tier List
Not all traits are created equal. Here's a tier list to help you identify the most valuable traits for your units:
| Tier | Traits |
|---|---|
| S+ | Sovereign, Duplicator |

| A | Violent, Juggernaut, Millionaire |
| B | Blitz, Jokester, Brute, Colossal |
| C | Sniper, Investor, Endure, Superior |
| D | Horizon |
Best Traits for Different Unit Types
For Powerful Mythic/Secret Units
Sovereign and Capitalist are top choices for units with a low placement cap. The massive stat boosts from Sovereign turn powerful units into unstoppable forces, while Capitalist allows you to place more of your strongest units.
For High Placement Cap Units
Duplicator excels on units with a high placement cap, effectively doubling their field presence. This trait is particularly powerful for units that provide buffs or crowd control effects.
For Versatile All-Around Units
Seraph provides balanced boosts across all key stats, making it a great choice for nearly any unit in your roster. The added evade chance is particularly valuable for frontline units that take frequent damage.
How to Get and Reroll Traits
Trait Reroll Shards are the key to optimizing your units' traits. Here are all the methods to acquire these valuable items:
- Quests: Many daily and weekly quests reward Trait Reroll Shards upon completion.
- Challenges: Unlocked at level 15, challenge missions offer rerolls as rewards for completing specific objectives.
- Shiny Normalize: Exchange shiny units for rerolls at the Shiny Normalize NPC located in the main plaza.
- Level Milestones: Every few player levels, you receive rerolls as milestone rewards in your mailbox.
- Codes: Redeem special codes for free rerolls (check official channels for active codes).
- Robux Purchase: Buy rerolls directly using Robux at the Trait Reroll NPC or in the shop (300 Robux for 3 rerolls or 500 Robux for 10 rerolls).
- Merchant: The Merchant NPC occasionally sells Trait Reroll Shards and other valuable items. The merchant inventory resets every few hours, so check back regularly.
The Reroll Process
To reroll a trait:
- Visit the Traits hub or Trait Reroll NPC in the main plaza.
- Select the unit you want to reroll from your inventory.
- Spend a Trait Reroll Shard to receive a new random trait.
- Decide whether to keep the new trait or continue rerolling.
Important Note:
Remember that traits are assigned randomly based on their rarity odds. You might need multiple rerolls to get the trait you want, especially for Mythic traits that have drop rates below 1%.
Tips for Trait Management
- Prioritize Your Best Units: Save rerolls for your best units (Mythic or Secret rarity), as traits make the most impact on top-tier characters.
- Be Patient: Traits are random—expect to reroll many times to get a top trait. Don't get discouraged if you don't immediately get what you want.
- Consider Unit Role: Match traits to your unit's function. Damage boosting traits for DPS units, HP traits for tanks, etc.
- Sub-Traits Are Rare: There is a very slim chance to roll a sub-trait, which provides an extra minor boost. These cannot be rerolled directly, so consider keeping a unit with a decent main trait and any sub-trait.
- Watch for Limited-Time Events: Special events sometimes offer increased chances for rare traits or discount prices on rerolls.
Conclusion
Traits are a core progression mechanic in Anime Rangers X, offering everything from simple stat boosts to game-changing effects like double deployment or massive cost reductions. Focus your rerolls on your strongest units, prioritize S-tier traits, and use all available sources to farm reroll shards for the best results.
With the right traits on your strongest units, you'll be able to tackle even the most challenging content in Anime Rangers X and climb the leaderboards with ease.
