In the world of Universal Tower Defense, every player knows that the key to maximizing your game’s potential lies in buffing damage per second (DPS) and enhancing the range of your units. So how do you do it? It’s all about relics and rerolling traits. Relics are flexible—they can be swapped out and saved for later. Traits, on the other hand, are a bit trickier; once you reroll, the original trait is lost forever. Grinding for Trait Rerolls can be tough, and it’s easy to find yourself out of them. That’s why we’ve put together this Universal Tower Defense Trait Tier List, designed to help you target the right traits for your best units.

In the tier list we’ve highlighted above for Universal Tower Defense, every trait is ranked based on its overall effectiveness across the current meta units.
