Traits are a game mechanic in the Frontier Legends DLC of Bloons TD 6. These are passive effects that all Towers have, and can be positive or negative and can range from raw stat modifiers to the ability to summon Zombie Bloons.

Mechanics

Traits are classified in two ways: Rarity and Tier. Rarity is a somewhat arbitrary classification, but usually traits with better effects tend to have a higher Rarity. Tier determines the potency of the effect and has four levels, with the first two being negative and the second two are positive. When Towers are generated at the Salon, the game randomly determines the amount, rarity and tier of those traits. Story Towers, Heroes and Legendary recruits have a fixed set of traits.

Trait tier distribution
