Introduction

Traits are the random modifiers that change how your weapons perform, and they are one of the biggest power swings in Anime Zero. Every weapon rolls with traits that can boost damage, attack speed, critical rate, cooldown reduction and other combat stats — and because traits are random, chasing the right ones is a core endgame grind. Trait Rerolls and Reroll Crystals let you re-roll a weapon's traits, but the resources are limited and valuable, so knowing which traits to keep and which to re-roll matters more than how many rerolls you have. This category breaks down every trait currently in the pool, explains how reroll probabilities work, ranks the best traits for DPS weapons versus support weapons, and gives concrete spending advice: save rerolls for S-tier weapons, settle for good-enough on early gear, and use event codes like BENICE2ME and SERVERLIVE67 that hand out hundreds of Trait Rerolls. Traits are where small decisions compound, and this guide makes sure you make the right ones.

Trait Spotlights

S

Critical Rate

active

The most wanted trait in Anime Zero. Critical rate raises your crit chance on every attack, boosting overall DPS on every weapon type. Even a single crit trait can push your clear speed noticeably in dungeons.

EffectRaises critical hit chance
PriorityS-tier for all DPS weapons
Best WithCrit-scaling weapons like Sung Jin-Woo
Reroll AdviceKeep it on any A-tier or better weapon
S

Attack Speed

active

Attack speed increases how often your weapon attacks, which scales both raw damage and on-hit effects like enchants and shadow summons. Works best when paired with accessories that also boost attack speed.

EffectIncreases attack frequency
PriorityS-tier for DPS and farming
Best WithAoE weapons and enchant procs
Reroll AdvicePairs perfectly with Shadow Monarch army generation
A

Damage Multiplier

active

A flat percentage damage boost that applies to everything you hit. Less flashy than crit but always valuable, especially on raid carries. It is the most consistent damage upgrade when your gear already has crit and speed.

EffectFlat % damage increase
PriorityA-tier on raid weapons
Best WithHigh base damage weapons
Reroll AdviceGreat fallback if you cannot land crit or attack speed
B

Cooldown Reduction

Lowers skill cooldowns so you cast abilities more often. Strong on control and utility weapons; lower priority on pure damage sticks. Control tools stay valuable into raids where surviving mechanics matters more than raw burst.

EffectSkills come back faster
PriorityB-tier generally
Best WithArcane Katakuri, control weapons
Reroll AdviceKeep on utility builds; re-roll on DPS weapons

Core Mechanics

Traits are random combat modifiers attached to your weapons in Anime Zero. Each weapon rolls with a set of traits drawn from a pool that includes critical rate, attack speed, damage multipliers, cooldown reduction and more. Because traits are random, two copies of the same weapon can feel completely different, and re-rolling traits is one of the main ways to push endgame power. Trait Rerolls change your traits to a new random set, while Reroll Crystals can be used strategically — sources include codes, dungeon drops and milestone rewards. The best traits for DPS weapons are critical rate and attack speed, which directly multiply damage output; damage multipliers and cooldown reduction are strong secondary picks depending on your build. Trait rerolls are a scarce resource, so spending them wisely matters: reroll S-tier and A-tier weapons you plan to keep, and avoid burning rerolls on filler gear that you will replace. Event codes and milestone rewards frequently hand out hundreds of Trait Rerolls, which is why checking the active codes list before a reroll session is a smart play.

Advantages

Mastering traits is one of the highest-value upgrades available in Anime Zero because traits multiply everything else. Two copies of the same weapon with different traits can differ by a huge margin in DPS, and knowing which traits to chase — critical rate and attack speed first, damage multipliers and cooldown reduction second — means your rerolls create real power instead of burning currency. Understanding reroll sources and the codes that hand out Trait Rerolls turns free rewards into targeted upgrades. Our trait priority guide tells you exactly which traits to keep on which weapon type, so you stop settling for bad rolls on your best gear. For endgame players, the trait grind is the difference between clearing Nightmare content and wiping at the boss. Getting traits right makes every other system in your build more effective.

Challenges

Trait grinding is one of the biggest time and resource sinks in Anime Zero. Trait Rerolls and Reroll Crystals are limited — codes help but the flow dries up between events — and re-rolling traits on every weapon drains your supply quickly. Randomness is the core weakness: you can burn dozens of rerolls chasing a single critical-rate trait and still land nothing useful, and the probability does not guarantee the result you want at any point. Different weapons want different trait priority, so a trait that is S-tier on your DPS weapon is worthless on a support weapon, and keeping bad traits on good weapons reduces the power of your best gear. Rerolling forces you to choose between settling for an okay trait or gambling your remaining stock, and the wrong choice on a rare weapon can feel like flushing your resources. For casual players, the trait system can quietly eat the rewards of hours of farming.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best trait?+
For DPS weapons, critical rate and attack speed are the top traits because they boost damage on every attack and scale with enchants and accessories. Damage multiplier is a strong second tier for raid carry weapons, and cooldown reduction serves utility builds. The best trait depends on the weapon: a crit-scaling weapon like Sung Jin-Woo wants crit, while a summon-based weapon like Shadow Monarch wants attack speed to generate more army attacks. When in doubt, crit and attack speed are safe S-tier picks.
How do I get more Trait Rerolls?+
Trait Rerolls come from codes, dungeon rewards and milestone events. The biggest single sources are event codes like BENICE2ME and SERVERLIVE67 that hand out hundreds at once, plus milestone codes like 1MVISITS. Dungeon clears and raid rewards add smaller amounts steadily. Because rerolls are limited, spend them on your best weapons and save them for S-tier and A-tier gear. Between events, farm the dungeons that drop Reroll Crystals for extra reroll ability.
Should I reroll traits on every weapon?+
No — target your rerolls. Rerolling traits on a starter weapon you will replace burns scarce currency with zero payoff. The right approach: reroll traits only on A-tier and S-tier weapons you plan to keep, and settle for a decent trait on mid-tier fillers. For your main weapon, hold rerolls until you land a S-tier roll, then improve traits on that. Event code stockpiles are for your best gear, not for gambling on filler.
Do traits reset when weapons evolve?+
Evolution keeps your weapon's traits intact, which is why evolving a well-rolled weapon preserves your investment. The evolved form gains new abilities and stat ceilings on top of the existing trait setup. That makes it important to evolve a weapon with good traits — evolving a badly rolled weapon means carrying bad traits forward into your endgame form. Roll and reroll traits on your main weapon before pushing evolution, and check the evolutions guide for which weapons deserve the materials.

Quick Tips

💡

Reroll traits only on weapons you will keep — A-tier and S-tier picks you plan to main. Spending Trait Rerolls on starter gear wastes a scarce resource that could power your endgame weapon. Settle for a decent trait on mid-tier fillers and save your stockpile for the moment you land a meta weapon worth perfecting.

💡

For DPS weapons, prioritize critical rate and attack speed traits — they multiply damage on every attack and scale with enchants and accessories. Damage multiplier is the reliable second pick for raid carries, while cooldown reduction fits control builds. When a weapon rolls two of these, keep it and invest; when it rolls none, reroll.

💡

Build your Trait Reroll stockpile between events: codes like BENICE2ME and SERVERLIVE67 give hundreds at once, dungeon clears add a steady trickle and milestone codes pad the bank. Because reroll supply is event-driven, treat every code reward as fuel for the next big reroll session on your best weapon - and never let a claimed reroll sit idle when you have an A-tier weapon worth improving.

💡

Traits carry through evolution, so the trait investment pays off at endgame twice. A well-rolled weapon that evolves into Sung Jin-Woo or Shadow Monarch paths keeps its good traits in the evolved form. Before you evolve, make sure the base weapon has traits worth keeping — evolving a bad roll locks in your bad traits for the long grind.
