Anime Origins traits: 2026 Tier List & Reroll Tips

Anime Origins traits are modifiers assigned to units through the Trait Reroll system. They can increase damage, range, income, experience gain, critical performance, or cooldown efficiency. Some higher-rarity traits also introduce special mechanics, so the best choice depends on both the trait and the unit using it.

Each unit can store two traits, but only one trait is active at a time. This makes rerolling more flexible than a single-slot system, while Trait Rerolls remain valuable because strong rolls may take time to replace. Before spending resources, decide whether the current trait is merely average or already useful for the unit’s role.

Video Highlights:

• Repeatable reroll farming can be connected to Infinite Mode and other recurring content.
• Shops, quests, milestones, and daily activities provide additional reroll opportunities.
• Story and Legend stages are important sources of gems and progression rewards.
• Artifacts connect certain Legend stages with special rewards and quest requirements.

The most reliable approach is to combine regular progression with repeatable farming. Clear story content, claim milestones, complete challenges, and check rotating shops before committing to long farming sessions. The published Anime Origins trait reference also lists the current stat effects and roll categories used in this guide.

The table below organizes the available Anime Origins traits by their listed bonuses and roll categories. Basic traits improve one core statistic, while Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Secret traits can combine several bonuses or add unique effects.

Stride, Joker, Overseer, and Immortal need more attention than their headline numbers suggest. Stride builds attack Tempo over time, Joker changes its temporary modifiers between waves, and Overseer adds bonus True Damage. Immortal is especially restrictive because only one unit per team can use it, and its placement limit is also listed as one.

The best trait is determined by the unit’s role, but a general ranking helps when you receive an unexpected roll. The highest tier contains traits with strong combat statistics and valuable secondary effects. Niche economy, experience, or range traits can still be worthwhile during progression.

Use the following priority rules when evaluating a roll:

• Choose damage and cooldown for units that already have sufficient range.
• Choose range when a unit’s attacks cannot cover important lanes or targets.
• Choose crit traits when the unit’s kit benefits consistently from critical hits.
• Choose income traits for dedicated farming or support units rather than primary damage dealers.
• Choose Scholar when experience progression matters more than immediate combat output.
• Keep a specialized trait if it supports the unit’s intended build better than a generic stat boost.

A tier list is a starting point, not a command to reroll every lower-tier result. A Fury, Haste, or Reach roll may be perfectly serviceable while you build your roster. The value of a trait should be judged against the cost of replacing it and the role the unit fills in your current team.

The Trait Reroll NPC is accessed through the Areas menu. Follow the process below whenever you have enough Trait Rerolls and have identified the unit you want to improve.

Trait Rerolls are earned through several parts of Anime Origins rather than one single activity. Regular progression supplies early resources, while repeatable modes and rotating shops support longer-term farming.

For gems, clear Story Mode on Normal and Hard, then work through Legend stages. First clears provide larger gem rewards than repeat clears, while Legend stages can continue to provide useful rewards during regular progression. Infinite Mode also lists a guaranteed gem drop every five waves.

Artifacts come from specific Legend stages, including Karakura Town and Hidden Sand Village. They are connected with special progression objectives, including requirements associated with Stark and Madara. Artifact pools can offer rerolls, gems, or character-related items. Players bringing matching artifacts into a shared run may choose from the resulting reward pool, and artifacts can be refined with Umbral Splinters to improve reward chances.

Do not overlook the unit index or milestone menus. Some rewards are easy to miss because they require manual claiming. Also, avoid auto-selling units or items before checking whether they are needed for index progress or future objectives.
