In the Roblox hit Anime RNG Defense, building the ultimate team of anime-inspired heroes requires more than just luck. While pulling powerful units is crucial, optimizing their stats can make or break your run. To truly dominate the leaderboards, you must learn how to roll traits and reroll traits effectively. The right trait can turn a mediocre unit into a boss-shredding powerhouse. In this guide, we will cover everything you need to know about the trait system, from basic mechanics to advanced trait farming strategies.
Understanding how to roll and reroll traits is a core progression loop in the mid-to-late game. Whether you are trying to clear the challenging stages of Hueco Mundo or aiming to maximize your damage output on boss waves, mastering the trait system is non-negotiable. If you are new to the game, you might also want to read our Anime RNG Defense Beginner Guide to get a handle on the basic gameplay loop.
Understanding Traits in Anime RNG Defense
Traits are unique modifiers applied to your units that grant passive stat boosts. These boosts range from simple damage increases to game-changing mechanics like reducing cooldowns or increasing the spawn cap for spawner units. Every unit you obtain via the gacha system has a chance to roll with a random trait, but you can also manually reroll traits later using specific items.
In Anime RNG Defense, units have stat grades ranging from F to S. When you roll traits, you are not just looking for the right trait name; you are also trying to secure the highest possible grade for that trait.
Here is a breakdown of all the current traits available in the game:
Trait List and Effects
| Trait Name | Stat Modifiers & Effects | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
| Superior | +200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% Range, -15% Cooldown, +1 Spawn Cap | Divine Units, Boss Killers, Spawners |
| Cloner | Allows the unit to clone itself or increases spawn efficiency | Spawner Units (e.g., Naruto/DBZ Spawners) |
| Sharp | +Crit Chance and +Crit Damage | High Attack Speed Units |
| Power | +DMG (scales based on grade) | Main DPS Units |
| Swift | -Cooldown % (faster attack speed) | Support and Crowd Control Units |
| Tough | +HP (increases durability for blocking units) | Defensive/Blocker Units |
| Vitality | +HP Regen and Max HP | Frontline Tanks |
| Range | +Range % (increases coverage area) | AOE and Slow/Stun Units |
| Entrepreneur | +Yen Generation | Money-making/Utility Units |
| Rebirth | Revives once per wave or grants a massive stat boost upon low HP | High-risk, High-reward DPS |
To make the most of these traits, you need to place your towers strategically. Be sure to consult our Anime RNG Defense Tower Placement Guide to optimize your setup.
How to Roll and Reroll Traits
When you first summon a unit, it will automatically roll a random trait and grade. If you want to change it, you must use the reroll system. To reroll traits, you need to navigate to the Trait NPC in the main lobby or open the Trait menu. Rerolling requires specific consumable items: Scrolls and Perfect Scrolls.
Scrolls vs. Perfect Scrolls
- Scrolls: These are the standard currency for trait rerolling. Using a standard Scroll will completely randomize the unit's trait and grade. This means you could potentially drop from an A-grade trait to an F-grade trait.
- Perfect Scrolls: These are rare, high-value items. Using a Perfect Scroll guarantees that the new trait grade will be equal to or higher than your current grade. This is the safest way to hunt for S-grade traits without risking your current progress.
Stat Grade Rarity and Reroll Rates
| Grade | Reroll Success Rate (Standard Scroll) | Stat Boost Modifier |
|---|---|---|
| S | ~1% - 2% | 100% - 300% Boost (Trait Dependent) |
| A | ~5% - 8% | 75% - 99% Boost |
| B | ~15% - 20% | 50% - 74% Boost |
| C | ~25% - 30% | 25% - 49% Boost |
| D | ~20% | 10% - 24% Boost |
| F | ~15% | 1% - 9% Boost |
Because getting an S-grade trait is highly competitive, you will need to participate in heavy trait farming to stockpile enough Scrolls. Before you start spending your hard-earned materials, make sure you know Anime RNG Defense How to Roll for Units so you don't waste resources on low-tier characters.
Crafting and Farming Materials for Rerolls
To continuously roll traits, you must engage with the game's crafting system. Scrolls and Perfect Scrolls can be crafted in the lobby using materials dropped by enemies across the three anime worlds: Leaf Village (Naruto), Namek (Dragon Ball Z), and Hueco Mundo (Bleach).
Each world consists of 10 stages with 5 waves per stage. Clearing these stages is the primary method of trait farming.
Crafting Recipes
| Item | Required Materials | Crafting Success Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Scroll | 10x Headbands + 5x Boxes + 500 Yen | 100% |
| Perfect Scroll | 5x Scrolls + 10x Dragon Scales + 5x Hollow Fragments + 2,500 Yen | 100% |
| Luck Potion | 3x Headbands + 2x Dragon Scales + 1,000 Yen | 100% |
Material Drop Rates by World
- Leaf Village: Drops Headbands at a 50% rate upon stage completion. This is the best place for entry-level trait farming because the stages are quick and easy.
- Namek: Drops Dragon Scales (approx. 30% drop rate) and Boxes.
- Hueco Mundo: Drops Hollow Fragments (approx. 20% drop rate). This is an endgame zone that requires highly optimized units.

Advanced Trait Farming Strategies
To maximize your efficiency when trying to roll traits, you need to optimize your drops per hour. Here are some pro tips for efficient trait farming:
1. Leverage the Prestige System
The Prestige system in Anime RNG Defense resets your stage progress but allows you to keep all of your units and your Luck stat. Every time you Prestige, you gain access to new worlds and increased drop rates for crafting materials. Do not hesitate to Prestige once you hit a progression wall; the long-term benefits for your trait farming runs are massive.
2. Maximize Your Luck Stat
Your Luck stat directly affects the quality of units you roll and the drop rates of rare crafting materials.
- Group Bonus: Join the official Roblox Group for a permanent +0.5 Luck boost.
- Premium Gamepass: Purchase the premium gamepass for a permanent +0.25 Luck boost.
- Luck Potions: Always keep a Luck Potion active while farming stages.
- For a complete breakdown on maximizing this stat, read our guide on Anime RNG Defense How to Upgrade Luck.
3. Active Promo Codes
Anime Defense Studios frequently releases codes that grant free Scrolls, Perfect Scrolls, and Luck Potions. Be sure to redeem the following active codes in the settings menu:

Using these codes will give you a massive head start, allowing you to reroll traits on your main DPS units immediately without farming for hours.
Best Traits for Every Unit Type
Not all traits are created equal. Depending on the unit's role in your defense lineup, you should target specific traits when you roll traits.
DPS Units (Damage Dealers)
For units inspired by Dragon Ball Z or One Piece that focus purely on dealing damage, you want to target Superior, Power, or Sharp.
- Superior is the absolute best-in-slot trait, offering a massive +200% DMG and -15% Cooldown.
- If you cannot roll Superior, aim for an S-grade Power trait to maximize raw damage.
- To make these units even stronger, check out Anime RNG Defense How to Level Up Towers.
Spawner Units
Spawners (which summon mini-minions to fight along the path) benefit uniquely from the Cloner and Superior traits.
- Because Superior grants +1 Spawn Cap, it directly increases the number of active spawns you can have on the field.
- Cloner increases the rate at which spawns are generated, allowing you to overwhelm the enemy waves.
Utility and Economy Units
Units that generate Yen (like Bulma or other entrepreneur-themed units) should exclusively target the Entrepreneur trait. An S-grade Entrepreneur trait will drastically increase your income, allowing you to upgrade your frontline towers much faster during tough waves. If you find yourself running out of money mid-game, you might also want to learn Anime RNG Defense How to Get Gems Fast to unlock better passive upgrades.
Trait vs. Medal System
It is important not to confuse the Trait system with the Medal system. While you reroll traits directly on the unit to modify their base stats, Medals are equippable items that provide separate, flat stat boosts.
For the ultimate setup, you should pair an S-grade trait (like Superior) with high-tier Medals that complement the unit's role. For example, equipping a Range Medal on a unit with an S-grade Range trait will allow them to cover almost the entire map. This synergy is crucial if you are aiming to acquire and optimize the rarest units in the game. For more details on this, see our guide on Anime RNG Defense How to Get Divine Units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I lose a good trait grade when I roll traits using a standard Scroll?
Yes. Standard Scrolls completely randomize both the trait and the grade (F to S). If you have an A-grade or S-grade trait that you want to keep or improve, you should only use Perfect Scrolls, which guarantee that the grade will not drop.
What is the best world for trait farming?
For raw speed and volume of materials, Leaf Village is the best world for trait farming because the stages can be cleared quickly, and Headbands have a high 50% drop rate. However, for endgame crafting (like making Perfect Scrolls), you will need to farm Namek for Dragon Scales and Hueco Mundo for Hollow Fragments.
Does the Prestige system reset my unit traits?
No. When you Prestige, you keep all of your unlocked units, their levels, their equipped medals, and their rolled traits. Your current Luck stat upgrades are also preserved. Only your stage progression is reset.
How do I get more Perfect Scrolls?
Perfect Scrolls can be crafted using 5 standard Scrolls, 10 Dragon Scales, 5 Hollow Fragments, and 2,500 Yen. You can also occasionally get them by redeeming active promo codes or as rare drops from clearing boss waves in Hueco Mundo.
