What is the best trait for an Anime Vanguards unit?

The best trait depends on the unit role. Monarch can be strongest for one-placement carries, Ethereal is a broad DPS trait, Solar helps range and tempo, and Deadeye needs crit-friendly context.

Does this Anime Vanguards trait calculator prove exact in-game DPS?

No. It is a planning calculator using visible unit stats and editable trait assumptions. Always confirm upgraded stats, passives, placement limits, and mode rules in game.

Trait result

How to read the result

Use Monarch as a one-placement carry estimate, not a universal team answer.
Use Ethereal when broad damage plus faster SPA matters more than one-placement ceiling.
Use Solar or Marksman when range fixes leaks, support coverage, or awkward map pathing.
Use Deadeye only after editing expected crit or special value for the unit and team.
For Blitz, Vigor, Swift, and Range lines, edit the default percentage to match the exact roll.
