Anime Squadron Traits Guide
Every trait ranked S to D — Superior, Cloner, Lethal, Sniper, Entrepreneur, drop rates, spawn caps, and pairing tips.
By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated
Every unit carries one primary trait rolled at the Traits NPC in the Upgrade area using Trait Shards. Rare rolls can also attach a sub-trait — a secondary bonus on the same unit, not a second full trait slot. Traits are separate from stat rerolls and stack with gear bonuses. See S–D rankings on the tier list.
Roll traits before evolving a unit — evolving first can interfere with reroll progress on units you plan to keep. In-game trait cards label range as RNG; we write Range on this wiki for clarity.

B Tier Traits
Lethal
B1.25% dropCooldown reduction directly boosts overall DPS — one of the best non-secret traits for damage dealers.

Sniper
B1.25% dropHuge range increase lets units attack sooner and stay active longer throughout a match.
- +40% Range

C Tier Traits
Knight
C11.33% dropDecent all-around trait for early and mid-game progression but overshadowed by higher-tier rolls.
- +5% HP
- +20% Damage
Juggernaut
C1.25% dropStrong survivability for tanks and frontline units — most DPS units prefer offensive bonuses.
- +50% HP
D Tier Traits
Ranger
D11.33% dropRange increase is useful but lacks the damage or utility needed to compete with stronger traits.
- +25% Range
Powerful
D20% dropSimple damage boost that works on any unit — the increase is too small for endgame builds.
- +10% Damage
Tank
D11.33% dropUseful only on dedicated tanks and offers little value for most team compositions.
- +30% HP
Sight
D20% dropMinor range increase — too small to noticeably impact performance; reroll when possible.
- +10% Range
Endure
D20% dropSmallest survivability boost in the game — generally worth rerolling immediately.
- +10% HP
Squad assignment tips
- Superior on your best DPS carry — only one Superior-traited unit on the field at a time.
- Entrepreneur on a separate high Yen-cost powerhouse so it deploys earlier each wave.
- Cloner + Rebirth — pair Cloner on summoners like Woo (Shadow) for double-casts; Rebirth on frontline tanks for a one-time revive safety net.
- If Superior or Cloner lands, stop rerolling — traits have no lock (Perfect Cubes are for Stat Rerolls), so chasing a sub-trait risks losing the elite roll.
FAQ
How many traits can a unit hold?
One primary trait per unit, rolled at the Traits NPC with Trait Shards. Some rolls also attach a sub-trait — a secondary bonus on the same unit. You cannot equip two full primary traits on one unit.
Can you lock traits before rerolling?
No. Trait rerolls only spend Trait Shards, and there is no trait lock. Perfect Cubes belong to the Stat Reroll NPC (premium single-stat rolls) — do not confuse them with trait protection. If Superior or Cloner lands, keep it instead of chasing a better sub-trait.
What is the best trait in Anime Squadron?
Superior — +200% Damage, +300% Max HP, +30% Range, -15% Cooldown, and +1 Spawn Cap (0.1% roll). Only one Superior-traited unit can be on the field at a time.
When should you use Entrepreneur?
As the primary trait on high Yen-cost powerhouses. It grants -40% Cost, +30% Damage, and +30% HP so expensive units deploy earlier in each wave.
Which trait fits summoners?
Cloner spawns two copies of the unit (+40% Damage, +60% HP) — strong when each copy attacks independently.
