Anime Origins traits and their drop rates

Three things that do not add up, and what they tell you

1. 1. The five bands total 93.15%, leaving 6.85% unaccounted for

   Rare 50% + Epic 30% + Legendary 9% + Mythic 4.05% + Secret 0.1% = 93.15%. Either a band is missing from the published list — a Common tier would fit the 6.85% gap neatly — or the figures were transcribed with an error. We cannot tell which from outside the game.

2. 2. 3 of the five bands do not add up internally either

   Within a band the individual trait rates should reach 100%. Rare and Legendary do, exactly. Epic and Mythic fall short, and Secret has no traits listed at all. That is a different kind of gap from the first one: it means specific traits were left out, not that a number is wrong.

3. 3. 18 traits are listed, but the source says there are 23

   The same page that publishes the table states the game has 23 traits. It lists 18. That is exactly 5 traits unaccounted for — and the bands with missing percentage are precisely the bands where you would expect them to sit. The three gaps corroborate each other.

Put together, the most likely reading is that 5 traits exist that nobody has published, concentrated in Epic, Mythic and Secret. If you roll something that is not on the table below, that is what you have found — and we would like to hear about it.

How rerolling works, before the numbers matter

A table of percentages is only useful once you know where to spend them. Only one of the sites carrying the trait data explains the mechanic at all — the rest publish the rates and assume you already know.

Where you reroll

The Trait Reroll station sits inside the Evolve building in the hub — the same building that holds the evolution NPC. It is not in the summoning room, which is where people tend to look first.

Where rerolls come from

Story stages, Challenge stages, quests, and code redemptions. Codes are the largest single source early on: AO alone gives 25, and TYKaito! another 25 — which is why spending rerolls before you have redeemed the codes is the most common early waste.

What a trait actually does

Every trait gives a stat bonus. The higher bands additionally grant a passive ability rather than just a larger number — which is why a Legendary is not simply a bigger Rare, and why the tier-I through tier-III progression of Reach, Fury and Haste stops at Epic.

What we cannot tell you

Whether rerolling is destructive — that is, whether a reroll can leave a unit worse than it started. Nothing published says either way, and it is the single thing you would most want to know before spending 25 rerolls on a unit you like.

The practical order is therefore: reach level 10, redeem every code on the codes page first, decide which unit you are actually building around, and only then start rolling. Half of all rolls land in the bottom band, so spreading them across units you have not committed to is how most of a stockpile disappears without changing anything.

Band rates, with the sums shown

Both totals below are computed from the numbers in the table rather than copied, so you can check them.

Every trait that has been published

Grouped by band. Pity counts appear only on the two Mythic traits that have them — a pity system for traits is confirmed, while whether unit summons have one is not.

What the numbers mean for rerolling

None of this is us testing the game. It is arithmetic on somebody else's published table, which is a weaker kind of evidence — but it is reproducible, and it points at exactly which numbers are worth chasing.
