Starting a new save pulls up the customisation menu, fitted with the Trait Reroller and Race Reroller. The former includes a plethora of buffs, from which you can choose three. So, which three should you settle on? Find out with my Grand Blue Traits Tier List, ranking all from best to worst based on real player data.
Let’s get into the rankings.
Grand Blue Traits Tier List
This Tier List is up to date as of September 7th, 2026.
S+ TIER
- Maniac
- The lower your HP, the harder you fight: +25% DMG and 15% less DMG taken. Starts below 50% HP and becomes full at 15% remaining HP.
- Limit Breaker
- Grants each Skill an additional Upgrade.
- Gaudy
- Copycat
- Store the last Skill that hit you (excluding Fruit skills), and press X within 30 seconds to cast it back at the opponent.
S-TIER
- Beast Tamer
- Gain an additional Pet slot, and each pet costs 1 less Skill slot.
- Man of Steel
- Attacks which deal less than 3% of your HP will not stun.
- Protagonist
- Once per fight below 20% HP: +10% DMG and 10% DMG Reduction for 8 seconds. Grows with willpower.
- Perfect for making a final stand with huge combat potential.
- Pyromaniac
- Burn builds 25% quicker and deals 25% stronger DMG ticks.
- The ideal skill to have if you have a corresponding fire-based skill or the Flame Fruit.
- Predator
- Deal 20% more DMG to enemies below 15% HP.
- Second Wind
- Once per fight, when below 20% HP: restore ALL energy and gain Hyperarmour (5 seconds).
- Incredible self-preservation Trait that makes all the difference in conflict between a win and a loss.
- Arrogant
- +15% DMG above 90% HP.
- Great for engaging in combat with stronger hits, taking down opponents quicker. Plus, if you master blocking, you’ll basically always have a 15% DMG boost.
- Adrenaline
- Knocking down or defeating an enemy restores 10% HP and ALL energy. (30-second cooldown)
- Absolutely perfect from the early to late game. You’ll always be quested with combat to some degree, so this one pays off, especially in PvE situations.
- Battle Tempo
- Landing hits builds up to +7.5% DMG. Taking DMG drains it to -7.5%. Resets out of combat.
- Great for experienced players who execute good blocks and guards.
A-TIER
- Glass Cannon
- Deal 15% more DMG, but take 15% more DMG.
- Assassin
- First attack out of combat deals 25% extra DMG (30% if from behind).
- This Trait is synonymous with Arrogant, but is only viable for the first hit.
- Prodigy
- +15% EXP boost (Skill, Pet, Lifeskills, and general EXP).
- Ideal for cutting the level grind.
- Night Owl
- +1 Speed and +5% DMG at night.
- Perfect for Mink players, who are some of the best races in the game currently.
- Early Bird
- +1 Speed and +5% DMG during the day.
- The opposite of Night Owl, and ideal for all races.
- Vengeful
- When hit, stack damage until your next attack. (+1% per hit, maxing at 10%).
- Basically a free DMG buff that scales with how damaged you are.
- Iron Will
- Attacks which deal over 10% of your total HP will have a 10% DMG Reduction.
- Great for tanking big attacks and surviving.
B-TIER
- Sturdy Guard
- Once every 20 seconds, your guard holds through a hit that would have otherwise broken it.
- Great self-preservation Trait, but is very timing-specific.
- Chameleon
- Standing still for 4 seconds will cloak you.
- Nice to hide from enemies, but isn’t useful most of the time.
- Nimble
- Gourmand
- 25% stronger Food Buffs, and +25% effect duration.
- Perfect for gluttons who carry food and remember to use it.
- Enduring Speed
- No longer slowed when at low energy.
- Huge benefit for evasion and escaping before dying to players and NPCs. The death penalty is higher than the penalty of assigning this Trait to a slot.
- Athlete
- Dashes recharge 40% quicker, or 20% quicker whilst in combat.
- Basically a faster stamina recharge, which is always valuable.
- Pacifist
- Permanent PvP protection whilst under 1,000 Bounty.
- Perfect for early-game players whilst they complete missions and begin training their skills.
- Hoarder
- Lose 50% less gold when you die or get pickpocketed.
- Pretty average Trait, but it’s always good to keep money rather than lose it.
C-TIER
- Marathoner
- While running without taking a hit, build up +0.5 Speed per second up to +4. Hits or stopping running resets.
- Small boost that only triggers under specific conditions.
- Escape Artist
- Gain a short speed boost when recovering from a knockdown.
- A niche and situational Trait that isn’t a guarantee to pay off.
- Climber
- Gain a second climb, reaching higher elevations.
- Great for smoother movement across towns, reaching places quicker, and evading situations.
- Coward
- Below 30% HP, gain a burst of speed when not attacking.
- Requires a lot of specific things to happen in a set order to execute. Kind of a mid payoff.
- Bargainer
- 10% cheaper Non-Premium NPCs shop items.
- Decent for a bargain, but this Trait is equally covered by the Celestial Being race. It’s also not enough of a discount to justify a whole Trait slot.
- Diver
- Doubles lung capacity. Oxygen lasts twice as long underwater.
- Not super useful long-term as the game has boats, and a failsafe with the Fishfolk and Half-Fish races.
D-TIER
- Garbage Collector
- Crates and barrels drop twice as much when broken.
- Crates and barrels don’t hold much of value to begin with, so this Trait is pretty lacklustre.
- Pitcher
- Rocks thrown travel twice as fast.
- Rocks are hardly anybody’s main tool for combat, but giving enemies less evasion and dodge chance is always a bonus.
What Each Tier Means
- S+: It’s hard to compare the Mythics to anything else, so this top tier is reserved for the metas.
- S: The best Traits to mix and match between, depending on your existing build and what best suits you.
- A: Secondary Trait options to fill in the slots. These are great, but have some flawed attributes such as timing or when the Trait applies.
- B: Decent for early-game players who don’t have a lot of Trait Rerolls to play with, but they’re quite niche and specific, and aren’t one-Trait-fits-all.
- C: Not great utility, but better than the bottom tier. Overall, I’d suggest rerolling.
- D: Reroll. These are the worst Traits with no real use long-term, or even within the early game.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which three Traits should you choose?
Arrogant and Maniac are two sides of the same coin, covering the start of a battle and the end of one (if you get low on health). I suggest these two alongside Night Owl (if a Mink), or Pyromaniac (if using the Flame Fruit), or any of the complementary S+ Tier choices.
How to get more Trait Rerolls
The easiest way to stockpile them is by redeeming Codes. I suggest joining the Grand Blue Discord and browsing the Codes channel for any you haven’t yet redeemed.
Note: Some Codes are timer-locked, meaning you don’t get the rewards immediately after redemption and need to wait a set amount of time before you can claim them.
