Traits are the difference between a unit that clears waves and one that barely dents enemies. In Roblox's Anime Origins, every unit carries a trait that modifies its core stats, and the gap between a Rare roll and a Mythic one is enormous. Knowing what you're rolling for, and when to stop rerolling, saves you a serious amount of time and resources.
All Anime Origins traits and what they do

*Immortal is a Secret-tier trait with a 100% roll rate within its own secret pool, meaning the challenge is accessing that pool at all, not the roll itself.
Anime Origins Guide: All Traits & How to Reroll
Anime Origins trait tier list
Not every trait is worth burning your Rerolls on. Here's how they stack up:
| Tier | Traits |
|---|---|
| S+ | Immortal, Ascendant, Overseer |
| S | Rupture, Stride, Decay |
| A | Ace, Head Hunter, Fury III, Haste III |
| B | Hustler, Hawkeye, Scholar, Fury II, Haste II, Reach III |
| C | Fury I, Haste I, Reach II |
| D | Reach I |
S-Tier Trait
Immortal sits alone at the top. A 200% Damage boost combined with a built-in revival mechanic and crowd control makes it the strongest unit modifier in the game. The catch is the 1-unit-per-team restriction and the single activation limit per match, so placement matters. Ascendant is the cleaner pick for boss-focused compositions, stacking +35% Boss Damage on top of a flat 10% Damage and 10% Range bonus. Overseer is the sleeper pick here: that 30% True Damage conversion on every attack bypasses most defensive scaling and pulls ahead on high-HP targets.
A-Tier Trait
Rupture is straightforward: +30% Crit Chance and +35% Crit Damage turns any unit into a reliable damage spike. Stride looks weaker on paper because of the -10% Damage penalty, but once Tempo stacks max out at -20% Cooldown, the attack speed gain more than compensates. Just don't let your unit sit idle or the stacks reset after 5 seconds. Decay is the pick for DoT-heavy units, boosting damage-over-time by 40% while also trimming cooldown.
B-Tier Trait
Ace is the most practical Legendary. Three stats improved at once means no wasted rolls when you land it. Head Hunter rewards crit-focused builds at the Epic tier, which makes it a reasonable stopping point if you're running low on Rerolls.
What about Joker?
Joker is the most unpredictable Mythic. The base stats (+5% Damage, -5% Cooldown, +5% Range) are weak, and the random per-wave modifier swings between useless and genuinely strong. It's not a target to roll for, but it's not dead weight either. Treat it as a placeholder.
How to reroll traits in Anime Origins
Rerolling is straightforward once you know where to go. Here's the exact process:
- Open the game and click the Areas button from the right-side menu.
- Select the Trait Reroll option to teleport to that area.
- Walk up to the NPC in the Trait Reroll zone.
- Select the unit you want to modify and hit Reroll.
Each reroll costs Trait Rerolls, which you earn through normal gameplay, completing quests, or by redeeming active codes. If you need a quick top-up, check the current Anime Fighting Simulator codes for free reroll currency across similar games, and bookmark the Roblox guides hub for code drops specific to Anime Origins.
What's the best trait in Anime Origins?
Immortal is the single strongest trait in the game. The 200% Damage multiplier alone would make it top-tier, but the wave-10 revival effect and instant kill on nearby non-boss enemies pushes it into a category of its own. The placement limit of 1 per team means you'll only ever have one unit carrying it, so choose wisely.
For players who can't land Immortal, Ascendant and Overseer are the next best options. Ascendant is the better pick for boss-heavy content, while Overseer's True Damage conversion scales better against high-defense enemies in later waves.
If you enjoy the trait-hunting grind across similar tower defense games, the Anime Expeditions traits and reroll guide breaks down a comparable system with its own Mythic-tier rankings worth comparing.
