Here’s a complete guide to Universal Tower Defense Traits. This guide covers the full list of all traits, their effects, and much more.
Universal Tower Defense Traits
Traits are special perks that you can apply to the units to make them stronger with unique buffs. Each trait is unqiue and grants specific buffs. For example, Ruler is one of the traits – when applied, the unit gets a massive DMG boost, heavy cooldown reduction, and increased range attributes.
How to get traits in Universal Tower Defense?
To add a Trait to a unit in Universal Tower Defense, head to the Upgrades area located behind the Summoning zone on the main map. Enter the building and look to the left, where you’ll find the Traits + Stats shop. From there, select the unit you want to modify, then roll using Trait Rerolls. Keep rerolling until you land a Trait that fits your build or playstyle, as there’s no limit other than how many rerolls you have available.
Trait Rerolls can be obtained in several ways. They drop as rewards from Challenges, and you can also purchase them from the Merchant, Virtual Shop, or directly from the Store. Players with access to the Battlepass can earn additional rerolls through its reward tiers. On top of that, always make sure to redeem all active Universal Tower Defense codes, as these often include free Trait Rerolls and can save you a significant amount of grinding.
