2. Trait Tier List: Solar, Requiem, and Critical Multipliers
Rerolling character traits is the single highest return on investment once your mythics are evolved:
• Solar: +30% Raw Damage, +15% Attack Range, and persistent burn ticks. The undisputed best general trait for AoE carries.
• Requiem: The rarest trait in the game. Imparts +20% base critical strike chance with an overwhelming 2.5x critical damage multiplier.
• Precision: Doubles critical hit numbers. Synergizes cleanly with high-attack-speed units like Dragon Mage or Cursed Knight.
