Your traits are just as important as other aspects of your character in Grand Blue, as having a strong combination of three traits can take your build to the next level.

S Tier - The Absolute Best
These traits are some of the absolute best ones, both for early and late game. If you are lucky enough to roll them, especially Prodigy at a low level, then you're going to be coasting.
Trait | Rarity | Reason for Rating |
|---|---|---|
Limit Breaker | Mythic | Getting an extra upgrade on your skills is too good to pass up on. |
Prodigy | Epic | It provides a massive overall EXP boost that makes it an amazing trait for the grinders out there. |
Man of Steel | Mythic | Incredibly strong trait that lets you trade M1s with ease, and certain builds become completely busted with it. |
Gaudy | Mythic | Having an extra accessory slot is extremely strong in general. |
A Tier - Strong Traits
While not necessarily "the best", these traits are incredible even on their own. Some won't be immediately useful at a low level, but you don't need to reroll if you get them early.
Trait | Rarity | Reason for Rating |
|---|---|---|
Gourmand | Rare | Food buffs can be really good, and this trait makes them even stronger. Very underappreciated trait. |
Beast Tamer | Mythic | Really good with certain pet combinations due to some of them having strong crowd control. |
Adrenaline | Rare | Useful energy restore and a nice heal to accompany it. Works great in most builds. |
Battle Tempo | Legendary | Can be really strong in the hands of a skilled player. Not so great if you keep getting hit and losing its buff though. |
Protagonist | Legendary | Cheating death is always going to be strong, though it misses out on the top tier since you should always try not to reach fatal levels of HP anyway. |
Maniac | Mythic | Strong passives that activate at half health, though a bit risky if you want to fully maximize its buffs. |
B Tier - Decent Alternatives
The traits in this tier are pretty good, though they often have some significant downsides or are just not worth specifically targeting with your rerolls.
Trait | Rarity | Reason for Rating |
|---|---|---|
Enduring Speed | Common | It can occasionally save you from getting killed, which already makes it the only notable common trait. |
Nimble | Rare | The extra dash can be great. Hard to justify rerolling specifically for it, but it's not terrible if you happen to get it. |
Iron Will | Rare | The damage reduction can mean the difference between winning or losing a fight, though not a lot of moves can reach its 10% threshold. |
Marathoner | Epic | It helps you build a lot of speed, which can be useful in some fights or just running around in general. |
Second Wind | Epic | Strong hyperarmor that triggers at a relatively safe amount of HP, which can come in clutch. |
Sturdy Guard | Epic | Can be pretty strong in PVP, but not so much in general PVE content. |
Glass Cannon | Legendary | Huge damage buff with an equally huge downside. |
Predator | Legendary | Can help you execute enemies faster, though it isn't very helpful if you aren't winning the fight. |
C Tier - Niche Choices
This tier is a bit unusual as the traits here actually aren't bad at all, but most people won't benefit much from them as they are best used for very specific builds and/or playstyles.
Trait | Rarity | Reason for Rating |
|---|---|---|
Copycat | Mythic | It has the potential to throw enemies off and make them think you have a similar build, and it scales off your best stat. Not as exciting/versatile as the other Mythic traits though. |
Climber | Uncommon | There may be some uses for it while grinding, but it's not particularly worth keeping if you have rolls. |
Night Owl | Uncommon | Decent buffs, but only at night time. |
Early Bird | Uncommon | Decent buffs, but only during the day. |
Chameleon | Epic | Not really a lot of uses for this one, but it may occasionally help you escape from a fight. |
Pyromaniac | Legendary | It's only good for specific builds, specifically Flame fruit users. |
D Tier - Not Ideal
These traits aren't really worth the trait slot and can easily be replaced by any of the higher tier options. There are a handful that may be okay if you have no rerolls left and somehow land on them, but that's the extent of their usefulness.
Trait | Rarity | Reason for Rating |
|---|---|---|
Hoarder | Common | Not really worth a trait slot. |
Pitcher | Common | Realistically, this isn't going to be useful anywhere. |
Diver | Common | It may have some uses, but what are you doing that requires you to stay in water that long? |
Garbage Collector | Common | It has some very specific use cases, but it's largely not worth dedicating a trait slot to. |
Bargainer | Common | The discount sounds nice at first, but you'll immediately realize how insignificant it is. |
Athlete | Uncommon | Not particularly great in both PVE and PVP. It can at least help you move around faster if you manage to get it and have no rerolls left. |
Coward | Uncommon | Can only really be useful when running away in PVP. |
Vengeful | Uncommon | Not really helpful since it only gives you a significant buff if you eat a lot of hits without fighting back. |
Escape Artist | Rare | If you're in a situation where this triggers, then you're already losing badly enough that the speed won't help that much. |
Assassin | Epic | Not worth a trait slot as it's essentially a one-time buff when entering combat. |
Arrogant | Epic | Relies on enemies not dealing much damage against you, which isn't a very realistic expectation. |
