Powerful traits can change everything in All Star Tower Defense X, turning good units into unstoppable forces. This July 2025 tier list breaks down which traits dominate battles and which ones fall behind, helping you plan your strategy with precision.
Apart from that, you can roll unique traits for your units to give them additional boosts. These further enhance the fighting power of your units and help you win battles. That said, if you’re confused about what traits you should use in the game, you need not worry. We have ranked the traits in the game in this All Star Tower Defense X traits tier list.
All Star Tower Defense X Traits Tier List
The All Star Tower Defense X Traits Tier List ranks all unit traits based on their current strength and usefulness in both story and infinite modes. Traits affect how each unit performs in battle, influencing factors such as damage, attack speed, and special abilities. This guide helps players identify which traits provide the greatest advantage and which are less valuable, making it easier to plan upgrades and team setups for maximum impact.
Currently, All Star Tower Defense X has 13 traits players can choose from. Among these, traits like Perception, Dexterity, and others have three levels, each with increasing effectiveness. So, we’ve counted each level as its own trait while ranking them in our guide here.
Here, we have divided the traits into tiers, from S Tier to D Tier, depending on the value they add to the unit in the game. As you go up the ladder, it becomes increasingly tough to obtain the best traits due to their low drop rates. However, they are worth the effort due to their exceptional abilities and, hence, lie in the top-most S tier. The D tier, on the other hand, consists of basic traits that work well in the early stages of the game.
So, without further ado, check out where your favorite trait ranks in our All Star Tower Defense X traits tier list.
| Tier Ranking | Traits |
|---|---|
| STier | All Star |
| ATier | Genesis, Corrupted, Bloodlust |
| BTier | Midas, Prodigy, Tempest, Sharpshooter, |
| C Tier | Companion, Zenkai 3, Dexterity 3, Perception 3, Zenkai 2, Dexterity 2 |
| D Tier | Perception 2, Zenkai 1, Dexterity 1, Perception 1, Tank |
ASTD X Traits: S Tier
The top most category, S Tier consists of a single trait called All Star. This is no doubt the greatest trait of all in the game, and it’s literally in its name. With a 0.2% drop rate, it can be difficult to obtain the trait, but once you have it on any of your best units, no round will feel challenging enough.
This trait boosts your unit’s damage by 300%, range by 10%, improves durability, attack rate, and unlocks special moves as well. With so many powerful passives, your unit can single-handedly take over the whole arena in some battles. Here are the stats of the All Star trait.
| Trait | Drop Rate | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| All Star | 0.2% | 300% DMG -10% SPD 10% RNG 50% Durability Unit Limit 1 Overall cost 1.75x Special unit moves |
ASTD X Traits: A Tier
Coming to the A Tier we have three superb traits, that are some of the most powerful ones in the game, however are no match for All Star. This tier comprises of Genesis that increases all three stats of any unit including damage, speed, and range. It also boost true damage but at a cost of half your unit’s health.
The Corrupted and Bloodlust trait are slightly easier to obtain, where the former boosts rate of attack and range while the latter increases the damage output and range. Corrupted will help in bypassing shields and sometimes even breaking them. Whereas Bloodlust will stack up one every kill where each adds to the damage and rate of attack.
| Trait | Drop Rate | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Genesis | 0.7% | 12.5% DMG -8.5% SPD 8.5% RNG 50% True DMG, ignoring elemental rules for half of your unit’s damage Special unit moves |
| Corrupted | 0.8% | -10% SPD 7.5 RNG 20% Shield bypass damage 1 Shield break per hit Marks enemies to take 10% DMG from attacks Special unit moves |
| Bloodlust | 0.8% | 10% DMG 10% RNG 1 Stack per kill (Max 10) Each stack applies 1% DMG, -1% SPD to your unit Unit loses 1 stack every 0.5s after being idle for 15s Special unit moves |
ASTD X Traits: B Tier
Next up is the B Tier and consists of traits that are good for supporting units in a battlefield, specially the first two – Midas and Prodigy. While Midas helps in increasing the cash income from every stage as well as from eliminating enemies, Prodigy helps in increasing the amount of XP gained by each unit on every stage.
The Tempest trait adds to the attack rate and DoT damage of a unit, while Sharpshooter adds to the range of attacks. Another impressive ability of the Sharpshooter is that your units attack an extra enemy but, at a cost of its own health.
| Trait | Drop Rate | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Midas | 5% | 25% Farm income 5% Elimination income |
| Prodigy | 10% | 50% Unit XP gain from stages |
| Tempest | 3% | -10% SPD 30% DoT damage |
| Sharpshooter | 4% | 15% RNG Attacks an additional random enemy for 5% of unit’s damage |

C TierASTD X Traits: C Tier
The C Tier is only helpful in the early-mid game stages, when you might not have enough trait burners to unlock better ones in the higher tiers. However, that doesn’t mean these are bad in All Star Tower Defense X. As such, you can use Companion on any unit to increase the number of placements by 1.
Or, go with Zenkai to increase the damage output of your units. Dexterity increases the rate of attack for a unit while Perception increases the range of attacks. Now, you will notice that the traits are divided into their respective stages. You can also notice that Zenkai 3 has more damage boost that Zenkai 2 and its the same for other traits as well.
| Trait | Drop Rate | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Companion | 2% | 1 Placement |
| Zenkai 3 | 6.5% | 10% DMG |
| Dexterity 3 | 6% | -7% SPD |
| Perception 3 | 7% | 7% RNG |
| Zenkai 2 | 8% | 7% DMG |
| Dexterity 2 | 7.5% | -5% SPD |
ASTD X Traits: D Tier
Finally, in the D Tier we have a few traits suitable only for a complete beginner in the game. This tier consists of some of the same traits you saw above in the C Tier, but the only difference is in their stage. These are all stage 2 and 1 versions of Perception, Zenkai, and Dexterity, that are low in providing with stat boosts, but easy to obtain.
Tank trait lies at the very bottom due to its useless boost of increasing the durability of any unit by 50%. Its something you should highly consider skipping since it increase almost no value of your unit.
| Trait | Drop Rate | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Perception 2 | 9% | 5% RNG |
| Zenkai 1 | 10% | 5% DMG |
| Dexterity 1 | 10% | -3% SPD |
| Perception 1 | 11.5% | 3% RNG |
| Tank | 12% | 50% Durability |
How to Reroll Traits in All Star Tower Defense X
To reroll traits in All Star Tower Defense X, use Trait Burners from your items menu and apply them to the unit whose trait you want to change, then confirm the reroll for a random new trait. You can earn more Trait Burners through gameplay drops, by redeeming codes, or by purchasing bundles with Robux in the in-game shop. For best value, prioritize rerolling traits on your strongest S-tier units and aim to replace any low-tier traits on key damage dealers first.
In All Star Tower Defense X, you can easily reroll the traits of the units by visiting the Robot located to the right of the summoning area. Once there, you can follow the steps below:
- Head inside the chamber and press the E key to interact with the Robot.
- Left-click on the cell at the center and select the unit whose traits you wish to reroll.
- At this point, make sure you have trait burners to continue with the process. If you don’t have any, check out active All Star Tower Defense X codes to get some for free.
- Now, click on the Reroll button to receive a random trait on your ASTD X unit.
How to farm Trait Burners in All Star Tower Defense X
Trait Burners (Trait Rerolls) come from several repeatable activities, and the best strategy is to stack the highest-yield ones you can run consistently.
Best farming methods
-
Challenges (top priority)
-
Hard/Expert Challenges have one of the best Trait Burner drop rates, with many runs giving 2-4 Trait Burners if you clear them quickly.
-
Focus on the fastest map you can reliably speed-clear, and spam it instead of rotating randomly.
-
-
Dungeons (time-limited bursts)
-
Dungeons open every 4.5 hours for about 30 minutes and can drop a “decent amount” of Trait Burners per session.
-
Log in around dungeon times, clear as many runs as possible during the window, and use your strongest squad only.
-
Long-term grinds
-
Trial Shop
-
Trials let you convert Etri coins into Trait Burners (about 5 coins per Burner), with a total cap around 50 Burners from the shop.
-
Run Trials whenever you are strong enough and treat this as a slow, background stash of rerolls.
-
-
PvP / Arena Shop
-
Arena/PvP coins can also be traded for around 50 Trait Burners total, but the grind is harder than Trials.
-
Only prioritize this if you actually enjoy PvP or have a strong meta team.
-
Passive / side sources
-
Infinite mode (Void Bags)
-
Infinite can drop Void Bags that sometimes contain Trait Burners, alongside XP and other resources.
-
Use this when you are already farming XP or units; consider AFK-leaning runs with autoskip and a stable setup.
-
-
Quests, level rewards, dailies
-
Level rewards and daily/weekly quests frequently give Trait Burners as bonus rewards, especially around level milestones.
-
Clear your daily and weekly tasks first each play session, then dump extra time into Challenges or Trials.
-
Efficient farming tips
-
Focus your active grind on Challenges and Dungeons, and your AFK or relaxed grind on Infinite and story.
-
Avoid spending Trait Burners on bad or temporary units; wait until you have strong meta units before chasing top traits like All Star or Genesis.
Best challenge modes to farm Trait Burners fast
The fastest Trait Burner farming from challenges comes from Expert / Daily challenge modes that you can clear quickly and consistently.
Best challenge types
-
Daily Challenge (with Trait Burner reward)
-
Some daily challenge variants explicitly list Trait Burners in their rewards and typically give 2-4 Trait Burners per clear.
-
Prioritize the easiest daily challenge map you can speed-clear; ignore harder ones like AOT/City of York if they slow your runs down.
-
-
Expert Challenges with Trait Burner drop chance
-
Standard Expert challenges often show around a 30% chance to drop 1 Trait Burner on clear.
-
The best ones are short maps with simple enemies where you can finish runs rapidly and chain 4-5 clears per 30-minute rotation.
-
What to avoid
-
Avoid long or gimmicky challenge maps (very long waves, complex mechanics, or heavy air waves) because they tank your Trait Burners per hour even if rewards look good.
-
Skip challenges that do not show Trait Burners in the reward preview; they are better for gems or other resources, not rerolls.
Setup tips for faster clears
-
Use high-range hill/aoe carries (like Broly-type units) and farm units so you can auto-skip and run on 3x speed safely.
-
Run with a full squad and premade strategy so you can restart and re-queue instantly, aiming for short, repeatable clears over “hardest” content.
