Traits are the key to making your build in Remnant 2. However they can be tricky to unlock and some of them require that you play in multiplayer in order to get. This means cooperating with your team to get a specific Trait like the Glutton which require one of your teammates to die and be revived.
Since some Traits are tied to archetypes, where they’ll be exclusive to that archetype at first. Archetypes like the Alchemist and Gunslinger, offer unique Traits which could be beneficial to different builds. What’s great about Traits belonging to archetypes is that they can be equipped by different ones once that archetype reaches Level 10. To level up your archetypes faster, you can do so by equipping one as your second archetype allowing it to level up along side your primary.
Traits can be leveled up in order to have a better effect. This is done by spending Trait Points which you get by defeating bosses or picking up Tomes of Knowledge found in each world. Once you spend them on a particular Trait, that Trait will have enhanced effects but it will consume Trait Points.
If you don’t like the Traits you’ve picked to upgrade, you can reinvest. By going to Wallace in Ward 13 who you can find on the docks, purchase the Orb of Undoing for 3 Lumenite Crystals and 2,500 Scrap. This will allow you to respec your Trait Points. However it does cost quite a sum so be wary of doing it too often.
