Subjectivity is a natural aspect of Tier Lists, and achieving a community-wide agreement on traits can be notably challenging.

Tier Class	Trait Name
S Tier	Monarch (1 in 1000 chance), Ethereal (1 in 500 chance), Deadeye (1 in 250 chance)
A Tier	Solar (1 in 200 chance), Blitz (1 in 50 chance)
B Tier	Fortune (1 in 40 chance), Marksman (1 in 20 chance), Scholar (1 in 10 chance)
C Tier	Vigor (1 in 4 chance), Range (1 in 4 chance), Swift (1 in 4 chance)

Monarch is widely regarded as the most potent trait at present. This trait is incredibly rare, making its impact strikingly noticeable. Units equipped with Monarch will inflict triple damage, gain a modest range increase, and enjoy SPA reduction. Note that it is limited to one instance (not that you’re likely to roll it twice anyway, ha!).

Ethereal ranks just below Monarch in effectiveness. With Ethereal, units will deal double damage, receive a small range boost similar to Monarch, along with a slight reduction in SPA.

Deadeye presents a unique challenge in terms of tier assignment, as it straddles the line between S and A tiers. It offers a damage boost not as impressive as Ethereal’s but noticeably more effective than either Solar or Blitz.
