Master every trait in Anime Vanguards! Complete list, rarity, stat bonuses, community tier list, and best units to reroll for max power.

Introduction

If you've been grinding in Anime Vanguards and hitting a wall, the answer is likely hiding in your traits. These permanent stat boosts can turn a average unit into a game‑changer, and knowing which ones to chase is critical for end‑game content. That’s why this anime vanguards traits guide covers everything from the full list of available traits to the best ways to farm rerolls and the community‑voted tier list. Whether you're aiming to dominate story mode or push leaderboards, understanding traits is the key to unlocking your team’s full potential. Let’s dive in.

What Are Traits in Anime Vanguards?

Traits are permanent upgrades that you can apply to any unit. Once equipped, a trait boosts the unit’s stats for as long as it remains on that unit. Each unit can only hold one trait at a time, so choosing wisely is essential. Traits are obtained by using a Trait Reroll item, which randomly assigns a new trait (overwriting the old one). The rarity of a trait determines how much the stats are increased.

Below is the complete list of traits in Anime Vanguards, based on the official wiki and data from player reports. Rarity levels range from Common to Mythic.

Full Trait List, Rarity, and Stat Bonuses

Community experience: The Mythic traits (Celestial and Phoenix) are extremely rare. Players report spending dozens of rerolls to land one.

How to Get and Reroll Traits

To apply a trait to a unit, you need a Trait Reroll item. Using one consumes the item and gives the unit a random trait from the available pool. If the unit already has a trait, the new trait replaces it. You cannot “lock” a trait — the only way to keep a good roll is to stop rerolling.

Farming Trait Rerolls (Update 5 – Update 8 Methods)

According to community guides and YouTube videos, here are the top ways to stockpile rerolls:

Story Mode stages – Later chapters (especially stages 20+) often drop rerolls on repeat.
Time Gated Events – Special events like the Berserk event in Update 8 reward multiple rerolls per day.
Daily Missions – Complete your daily quests for a chance at trait reroll tokens.
Trade with Friends – Some players trade duplicate units for reroll items (use at your own risk).
Boss Raids – Defeat raid bosses (ex: Rukia, Gojo variants) for reroll drops.

Farming Method	Rerolls per Hour (avg)	Difficulty
Endless Mode (Stage 30)	4-6	Hard
Daily Missions	2-3	Easy
Event (Berserk update)	8-12	Medium
Trading / Marketplace	Variable	Risky

Note: The drop rates are not officially published, but player data suggests Mythic traits appear in roughly 1-2% of rerolls.

Anime Vanguards Traits Tier List (Community Rankings)

The community has ranked traits based on overall value. This tier list is compiled from player votes on TierMaker and feedback from the game’s Discord. Remember that the best trait depends on the unit’s role (damage dealer vs support vs tank).

Tier	Traits	Reasoning
S	Celestial, Empowered, Phoenix	Massive all-around boosts, revive or huge damage.
A	Berserker, Critical, Sniper, Life Steal	Excellent for specific builds. Berserker high risk/reward.
B	Fierce, Rapid, Shielded	Solid but outclassed. Good for early game.
C	Precise, Tough, Sturdy, Swift, Strong	Common/Uncommon – easy to get but weak.

S-Tier traits will carry you through the hardest content. Celestial gives attack, speed, and range – perfect for any main DPS. Phoenix turns your unit into a survive‑and‑revenge machine with a free revive.

A-Tier traits are situational. Berserker is amazing on units that can one‑shot before taking damage, but risky on tanks. Sniper is great for long‑range supports.

B and C traits are fine for early progression but should be replaced as soon as you have enough rerolls.

Best Traits for Specific Units (Update 8 Meta)

Based on community guides and the latest Berserk update, here are recommended traits for popular units:

Unit	Recommended Trait	Why
Gojo (Satoru)	Celestial	Boosts his already insane damage and AoE range.
Ichigo (Berserker)	Berserker	Synergizes with his high base attack; one‑shot potential.
Luffy (Gear 5)	Empowered	Great all‑rounder for his mix of damage and support.
Naruto (Sage Mode)	Phoenix	Gives survivability to his clone‑based playstyle.
Rukia (Captain)	Sniper	Extends her freeze range for better crowd control.
Support units (e.g., Shikamaru)	Life Steal	Helps keep them alive while debuffing enemies.

Player experience: Many users on TikTok and YouTube recommend rerolling specifically on Gojo and Berserker Ichigo first, as they benefit most from top-tier traits.

Tips for Efficient Trait Rerolling

Don't waste rerolls on random units. Follow these strategies to maximize your progress:

Prioritize your main DPS. Your strongest unit should always have at least an A‑tier trait before you touch supports.
Never reroll a unit with a solid trait. If you land Empowered or Critical on a decent DPS, stop — save rerolls for your next unit.
Farm during events. The Berserk update (Update 8) gave generous reroll drops. Look out for similar limited‑time events.
Use the "reroll until good" mindset. Expect to use around 20-30 rerolls to get an Epic+ trait. Be patient.
Check community tier lists weekly. The meta shifts after every update. What was B‑tier last month might be S‑tier now.
Trade duplicates carefully. Some players have been scammed; only trade with trusted friends or use in‑game currency if available.

Unit Priority	Recommended Minimum Trait
Main DPS	Epic or better
Sub‑DPS	Rare or better
Support	Uncommon or better
Tank	Rare with defense/HP
