Traits (Talents) — All 7 and Which Is Best

Updated · Races

Quick answer

There are 7 traits (also called talents). Prodigy (1%) is the best — it boosts every stat. Arcane Spark (10%) is the practical pick for Mage-style builds. Survivor and Keen Eye are the common, weakest ones. You get 3 free talent spins on a new character.

Trait Rarity Chance Effect Roonby / Of Zen
Prodigy Mythic 1% +5% attack, magic, defense, HP; +2% crit; +10% XP and mastery S / S
Arcane Spark Rare 10% +1 Energy at the start of a fight; +8% magic A / A
Fortune’s Favor Rare 5% +10% gold, +8% loot, +2% jackpot B / A
Iron Soul Uncommon 14% +6% defense; 30% chance to resist a debuff C / B
Quick Study Uncommon 18% +12% XP, +15% class mastery C / B
Keen Eye Common 22% +5% crit, +2% dodge D / C
Survivor Common 30% +6% max HP; Endure: once per fight, survive a lethal hit with 1 HP (if above 20% HP) D / C

Chances and effects match on the Fandom wiki and Roonby. One list (Of Zen) gives different chances for Quick Study, Iron Soul and Keen Eye and lists two extra traits that don’t appear anywhere else — we left those out.

FAQ

What is the best trait in Pixel Lineage?

Prodigy: +5% attack, magic, defense and HP, +2% crit and +10% XP and mastery. It's a 1% roll.

Is Survivor good?

It's the most common trait (30%). The once-per-fight Endure can save a run, but most lists rank it low. Keep it only if you're out of spins.

How do I get more talent spins?

New characters get 3. Codes add more — TORMENT gives 8, LEGENDS 5, TUTORIAL 3 (see the codes page).
