Should I reroll traits immediately after claiming codes?

No. Claim the rerolls first, then wait until you know which unit is staying on your main team.

What makes a trait worth keeping?

A trait is worth keeping when it improves a unit that already fits your current mode, investment path, and team role.

What source proves an Anime Vanguards trait row?

Use public trait references and current in-game trait screens for odds, pity, and effect wording. The local trait dataset supports planning, not official live balance.

Can one tier list or YouTube clip prove the best trait?

No. A tier list, Discord note, Reddit post, or YouTube clip can suggest a test, but a best-trait claim needs unit fit, mode result, reroll cost, and dated source evidence.

When should this traits guide change a recommendation?

Change a recommendation when a dated trait screen, public reference update, repeated mode result, or trade evidence shows the current row no longer matches live play.

Trait source answer

On June 15, 2026, the local trait dataset has 11 rows, 4 pity targets, and 3 S-tier targets. Monarch is listed at 0.1% with 1500 pity, Ethereal at 0.175% with 858 pity, Solar at 0.5% with 300 pity, and Deadeye at 0.375% with 400 pity. These numbers support reroll planning only; a live trait effect, pity count, or post-patch change still needs the current in-game screen or a current public traits reference.

Use traits as a unit-fit decision, not as a standalone chase list. Spend Trait Rerolls only when the unit is permanent, the target mode is named, the trait changes damage, SPA, range, crit, economy, or support uptime, and the stop point is known before rolling.

Traits source matrix

Use this source matrix before changing a trait effect, odds row, pity value, reroll priority, or best-trait recommendation. Each source route has a limited job; no single Discord note, tier-list label, YouTube clip, or calculator output proves the current best trait for every unit.

Spend rerolls

Main carry, evolved unit, high-value Secret, current mode carry, or unit you know will stay in the team.

Hold rerolls

Fresh pull with no upgrade plan, filler Mythic, trade-only copy, or unit you are testing for one map.

Check numbers

Open the DPS calculator before rerolling when the decision depends on damage, SPA, buffs, or hits.

Check value

Use the value list before rerolling a unit that you may trade. Trait quality can change demand but does not fix low supply interest.

Trait database

Use this table as a decision layer before opening the pity calculator. Rare traits are powerful, but the correct decision still depends on unit role, account stage, and whether the unit is permanent.

S+ · 0.1% · pity 1500

Monarch

Top-end carry trait

Effect: +300% damage, -10% SPA, +5% range, limited to one placement
Best for: Low-placement, expensive, or centerpiece DPS units where one boosted placement carries the map.
Keep when: Keep on a permanent main carry, premium evolved unit, or unit you already use across several modes.
Reroll when: Do not chase it on filler units, fresh pulls with no materials, or trade-only copies.

S · 0.175% · pity 858

Ethereal

Premium DPS trait

Effect: +20% damage, -20% SPA, +5% range
Best for: Fast attackers, several-placement carries, and all-round units that gain from damage and tempo together.
Keep when: Keep on almost any serious carry unless the unit specifically needs Monarch's one-placement ceiling.
Reroll when: Reroll only if the unit is truly permanent and you have enough resources to chase a narrower target.

S · 0.5% · pity 300

Solar

Range and tempo route

Effect: +10% damage, -5% SPA, +25% range
Best for: Units that need coverage while still benefiting from a modest DPS lift.
Keep when: Keep when the unit leaks because of coverage, awkward map pathing, or support-radius pressure.
Reroll when: Consider rerolling on pure boss carries where range is not the bottleneck.

A+ · 0.375% · pity 400

Deadeye

Critical route

Effect: Critical chance and critical damage boost
Best for: Units that already care about crit scaling, Unbound-style planning, or crit-support setups.
Keep when: Keep on crit-friendly units or boss-pressure units where the crit package is visible in results.
Reroll when: Reroll if the unit has no crit synergy and needs raw tempo, range, or one-placement power instead.

A · 1.85%

Blitz

Speed route

Effect: SPA-focused trait line for faster attack cadence
Best for: Units that already hit hard but lose value because they attack too slowly.
Keep when: Keep in progression when better rare traits are unrealistic and the unit needs tempo.
Reroll when: Reroll on endgame permanent carries once rare-trait pity or resource stock is realistic.

A · 2.5%

Fortune

Economy trait

Effect: Farm income increase or upgrade-cost reduction
Best for: Farm units and economy routes where income matters more than raw damage.
Keep when: Keep on farm/economy units and routes where early upgrades decide the clear.
Reroll when: Reroll on pure DPS carries unless the current mode is economy-gated.

B+ · 6.5%

Marksman

Range trait

Effect: +30% range
Best for: Support units, awkward maps, and units whose value comes from coverage instead of raw DPS.
Keep when: Keep while progressing if range is the exact reason the unit underperforms.
Reroll when: Reroll on permanent damage carries after the account has enough rerolls for rare targets.

B · 10%

Scholar

Account progression trait

Effect: Experience-focused trait line
Best for: Leveling routes or temporary units where account progression is the short-term goal.
Keep when: Keep only when leveling speed is more important than a current clear.
Reroll when: Reroll on serious carry, boss, Infinite, Rift, or trade-value units.

C · Common

Vigor

Common damage line

Effect: Vigor I / II / III style damage increase
Best for: Temporary progression when the unit has no better trait and damage is the current bottleneck.
Keep when: Keep only as a short-term stopgap on early accounts.
Reroll when: Reroll on any unit that deserves rare-trait investment.

C · Common

Swift

Common SPA line

Effect: Swift I / II / III style SPA improvement
Best for: Temporary tempo fixes while saving rare rerolls.
Keep when: Keep only if SPA is the exact reason a temporary unit feels bad.
Reroll when: Reroll on permanent carries, premium evolved units, and trade-value copies.

C · 26%

Range

Common range line

Effect: Range I / II / III adds increasing range
Best for: Early useful roll while saving rare rerolls for a permanent carry.
Keep when: Keep only when coverage is a short-term blocker and the unit is not worth deeper rerolling.
Reroll when: Reroll on high-value carries or units where extra range does not change the route.

Trait reroll checklist

Confirm the unit is used in your current Story, Infinite, Rift, Boss Rush, or Pirate Dynasty plan.
Confirm you can evolve or upgrade the unit enough for the trait to matter.
Compare the unit in the DPS calculator with and without your expected trait multiplier.
Stop rerolling when the next attempt no longer changes a real clear, trade, or progression goal.

Screenshot-needed trait evidence

Trait screen with trait name, visible odds or pity text if shown, current pity counter, and checked date.
Unit screen with unit name, evolved form, level, trait slot, stat grades, and whether the unit stays on the main team.
Reroll inventory with Trait Rerolls available, target trait, stop point, kept trait, and rejected trait if a session was run.
Mode result with Story, Infinite, Boss Rush, Rift, raid, dungeon, portal, Pirate Dynasty, event, or trade-keep reason.
Calculator setup with damage, SPA, range, damage bonus, SPA reduction, range bonus, crit or special bonus, support buff, and hits per attack.
Trade evidence with exact unit form, shiny state, trait, evolution state, offer screen, date, and source URL when value is part of the decision.

Do not publish hidden trait effects

Best trait, meta trait, overpowered trait, must reroll, cracked trait, and broken trait are weak labels unless the sentence also names the unit, trait effect, mode, account role, reroll cost, and dated source. Keep uncertain claims as test leads until the current trait screen or repeated public evidence confirms the wording.

Calculator output is not official game data. Use the output to compare likely impact, then cite the trait source, unit screen, and mode result before changing a public recommendation.

Candidate units to inspect first

These are not automatic reroll targets. They are high-value stat entries that deserve a closer check because of DPS, rarity, range, or SPA.
