What Are Sailor Piece Traits?
Sailor Piece Traits are permanent stat modifiers that enhance your character’s weapons and Devil Fruits. Every player gets one trait slot, and that trait applies percentage-based buffs to three core stats: damage multiplier, defense or HP, and cooldown reduction. Unlike the Power System, which is a separate progression mechanic with its own NPC and unlock requirements, traits are simpler to obtain but still extremely impactful.
One of the biggest sources of confusion in the community is the difference between Traits and the Power System. Think of it this way: Traits are passive buffs that always apply to your loadout, while the Power System gives you active abilities tied to specific powers. Both systems buff your character, but they work independently. You can run a strong trait alongside a strong power for maximum effectiveness.
Traits scale with rarity. A Common trait like Strong gives a modest damage bump, while a Secret trait like Celestial can more than double your damage output and cut your cooldowns by 30%. That difference is massive in late-game boss fights and PvP encounters. Higher-rarity traits also tend to buff all three stats instead of just one or two, making them much more efficient per slot.
Every trait in the game is obtained the same way: by using a Trait Reroll item at the Trait Master NPC on Sailor Island. When you use a Trait Reroll, the game randomly assigns you a new trait based on fixed probability rates. We cover those exact rates in the drop rate section below, but the short version is that high-rarity traits are rare enough that most players rely on the pity system to guarantee them eventually.
Complete List of All Sailor Piece Traits (Stats and Drop Rates)
There are exactly 25 traits in Sailor Piece, spread across 7 rarity tiers. Below we break down every trait with its exact stat bonuses, organized by rarity from Common to Secret. These stats are based on our own in-game testing and cross-referenced with community data. Each trait provides percentage boosts to damage, defense or HP, and cooldown reduction.
Common Traits (50% Drop Rate)
Common traits are what you will see most often when rolling. They provide small but noticeable stat bumps and are useful early on before you start targeting higher rarities.
- Strong gives a 1.05x damage multiplier and a 1.02x defense multiplier with no cooldown reduction. It is a straightforward damage boost for beginners.
- Tough flips the focus, offering a 1.02x damage multiplier and a 1.05x defense multiplier. If you are struggling to survive boss hits, Tough can help in the early game.
- Agile provides a 1.03x damage multiplier and a 1.01x defense multiplier with a small cooldown reduction of 1.02x. It is the most balanced Common trait.
- Balanced delivers equal buffs across the board: 1.03x damage, 1.03x defense, and 1.01x cooldown reduction. A solid all-rounder if you do not want to specialize.
Uncommon Traits (28% Drop Rate)
Uncommon traits are a noticeable step up from Common ones. You will get these roughly every 3-4 rolls on average, and they provide enough of a boost to be worth keeping while you grind for better options.
- Steady provides a 1.08x damage multiplier, 1.04x defense multiplier, and 1.02x cooldown reduction. Consistent gains across all three stats make this one of the better Uncommon picks.
- Driven focuses on offense with a 1.10x damage multiplier, 1.03x defense multiplier, and 1.03x cooldown reduction. Great for players who want to maximize damage output early.
- Predator leans into aggressive play with a 1.09x damage multiplier, 1.02x defense multiplier, and 1.04x cooldown reduction. The extra cooldown reduction pairs well with spam-heavy builds.
Rare Traits (15% Drop Rate)
Rare traits start to feel meaningful. You will average about one Rare every 6-7 rolls, and the stat jumps are significant enough that most players actively try to land here as a mid-game target.
- Vicious delivers a 1.14x damage multiplier, 1.06x defense multiplier, and 1.05x cooldown reduction. A strong damage-focused option that also provides decent survivability.
- Sharpened offers a 1.12x damage multiplier, 1.08x defense multiplier, and 1.06x cooldown reduction. The most balanced Rare trait, making it a popular mid-game choice.
- Overdrive pushes cooldown reduction hard with a 1.11x damage multiplier, 1.05x defense multiplier, and 1.10x cooldown reduction. Ideal for Devil Fruit builds that rely on ability rotations.
- Ascended provides a 1.15x damage multiplier, 1.07x defense multiplier, and 1.04x cooldown reduction. The highest raw damage among Rare traits.
Epic Traits (5% Drop Rate)
Epic traits are where the numbers start to get exciting. At a 5% drop rate, you can expect one roughly every 20 rolls. These are strong enough to carry you through most of the game’s content.
- Breaker gives a 1.20x damage multiplier, 1.10x defense multiplier, and 1.08x cooldown reduction. A well-rounded Epic trait that works with almost any build.
- Unstoppable focuses on survivability with a 1.18x damage multiplier, 1.14x defense multiplier, and 1.07x cooldown reduction. The highest defense boost in the Epic tier.
- Genesis delivers a 1.22x damage multiplier, 1.09x defense multiplier, and 1.10x cooldown reduction. Great for players who want high damage with solid cooldown support.
- Dominator provides a 1.24x damage multiplier, 1.11x defense multiplier, and 1.06x cooldown reduction. The highest damage output in the Epic tier, making it a favorite for boss farming.
Legendary Traits (1% Drop Rate)
Legendary traits are the ceiling for most casual players. At 1% per roll, you are looking at roughly 100 rolls on average to land one. The stat bonuses here are substantial and can completely change how your build performs.
- Godspeed maximizes cooldown reduction with a 1.22x damage multiplier, 1.12x defense multiplier, and 1.20x cooldown reduction. The go-to Legendary for ability-heavy playstyles.
- Sovereign is the balanced Legendary option, offering a 1.26x damage multiplier, 1.18x defense multiplier, and 1.12x cooldown reduction. No weak points, just solid numbers everywhere.
- Transcendent pushes damage with a 1.30x damage multiplier, 1.15x defense multiplier, and 1.10x cooldown reduction. One of the highest raw damage numbers among Legendary traits.
- Malevolent is widely regarded as one of the best Legendary traits thanks to its 1.28x damage multiplier, 1.16x defense multiplier, and 1.14x cooldown reduction. The synergy between high damage and strong cooldown reduction makes it extremely versatile.
- Infinity rounds out the Legendary tier with a 1.25x damage multiplier, 1.20x defense multiplier, and 1.08x cooldown reduction. The tankiest Legendary option for players who prioritize survival.
Mythical Traits (0.25% Drop Rate)
Mythical traits are extremely rare. At 0.25% per roll, the average player needs about 400 rolls to see one organically, though the pity system guarantees one at exactly 400 rolls. These traits offer massive stat boosts that put Legendaries to shame.
- Overlord delivers a 1.38x damage multiplier, 1.25x defense multiplier, and 1.20x cooldown reduction. Huge damage with strong defensive and cooldown support. Many experienced players consider Overlord the best Mythical trait for general use because of its well-rounded stats.
- Cataclysm is the damage king of the Mythical tier with a 1.42x damage multiplier, 1.22x defense multiplier, and 1.18x cooldown reduction. If you want to melt bosses, this is the trait.
- Singularity balances things out with a 1.36x damage multiplier, 1.28x defense multiplier, and 1.22x cooldown reduction. The highest cooldown reduction at the Mythical tier, making it a favorite for Devil Fruit mains.
Secret Traits (Unknown Drop Rate)
Secret traits are the rarest items in the entire trait system. The exact drop rate is not publicly confirmed, but community estimates put it well below 0.1%. The pity system guarantees a Secret trait at 2,500 rerolls. There are only two Secret traits in the game, and both are absurdly powerful.
- Celestial is widely considered the single best trait in Sailor Piece. It provides a 1.50x damage multiplier, 1.30x defense multiplier, and a massive 1.30x cooldown reduction. That 50% damage boost combined with 30% cooldown reduction makes it the most sought-after trait in the game. Most experienced players agree that if you get Celestial, you stop rolling immediately.
- Emperor is the other Secret trait and is nearly as powerful, offering a 1.48x damage multiplier, 1.32x defense multiplier, and 1.28x cooldown reduction. Emperor trades a tiny bit of damage for slightly more defense compared to Celestial. Some tank-focused builds actually prefer Emperor, though Celestial remains the community’s overall top pick.
How to Get Traits in Sailor Piece (Step-by-Step)
Getting traits in Sailor Piece comes down to one core loop: earn Trait Rerolls, then spend them at the Trait Master NPC. Here is the exact step-by-step process we follow every time we roll for new traits.
Step 1: Earn Trait Rerolls
Trait Rerolls are Epic rarity items that drop from defeating enemies throughout the game. Bosses have a significantly higher drop rate for Trait Rerolls compared to regular mobs. We cover specific farming strategies in the farming section below, but the quick version is to focus on boss fights for the best returns.
Step 2: Head to the Trait Master NPC on Sailor Island
The Trait Master NPC is located on Sailor Island. Open your map and look for the NPC marker on the island. If you are having trouble finding it, the NPC stands near the central area of the island, close to other important vendors. This is the only NPC that can process your Trait Rerolls.
Step 3: Use the Trait Reroll option
Interact with the Trait Master NPC and select the Trait Reroll option from the dialogue menu. This consumes one Trait Reroll from your inventory and immediately assigns you a new random trait based on the standard drop rate table.
Step 4: Check your new trait
After the reroll completes, check your assigned trait in your character info panel. Compare the new trait’s stats to your current one. If the new trait is better, keep it. If it is worse or the same, you can try again with another Trait Reroll.
Step 5: Use Auto Reroll for batch rolling
If you have a large stockpile of Trait Rerolls, the Auto Reroll feature lets you set a rarity filter and automatically reroll until you land a trait at or above that rarity. This is a huge time saver when you are sitting on hundreds of rerolls and targeting a specific tier. Set your filter to the minimum rarity you want, activate Auto Reroll, and the game handles the rest.

Trait Drop Rates and the Pity System Explained
Understanding the numbers behind trait rolling helps you set realistic expectations and plan your Trait Reroll farming. Here are the confirmed drop rates for each rarity tier.
Common traits drop at a 50% rate, meaning every other roll on average will be Common. Uncommon sits at 28%, Rare at 15%, Epic at 5%, Legendary at 1%, and Mythical at 0.25%. Secret traits have an unknown but extremely low base drop rate, though the pity system guarantees you will get one eventually.
The pity system is your safety net. After 400 total Trait Rerolls without receiving a Mythical trait, the game guarantees one on your 400th roll. For Secret traits, the pity threshold is 2,500 total rerolls. These pity counters do not reset if you get a lower-rarity trait along the way. They only reset when you actually obtain a trait of that specific tier or higher.
What does this mean in practice? If you are targeting a Mythical trait, you need between 1 and 400 Trait Rerolls. The average is around 200-250. For a Secret trait, you need between 1 and 2,500 rerolls, with the average somewhere around 1,000-1,500 based on community reports. Having that hard cap at 2,500 means the grind is always finite, even if it feels long.
The Auto Reroll feature ties directly into the pity system. When you use Auto Reroll with a rarity filter set to Mythical, it will keep rolling until you hit a Mythical or better. If your pity counter is at 395, you only need 5 more rerolls to guarantee one. This makes batch rolling much more efficient than doing it manually one at a time.
Best Sailor Piece Traits to Aim For
Not all traits are created equal, and knowing which ones to chase saves you hundreds of wasted Trait Rerolls. Here are our top recommendations based on extensive testing across different builds and game modes.
- Celestial (Secret) is the undisputed best trait in the game. The 50% damage multiplier and 30% cooldown reduction make it the most powerful option for literally every build type. If you have the patience and rerolls to chase it, Celestial is the ultimate goal.
- Emperor (Secret) is the runner-up and the best trait for tank-focused builds. The 48% damage multiplier and 32% defense multiplier mean you trade just 2% damage for 2% more defense compared to Celestial. For players who value survivability in PvP or long boss fights, Emperor can actually be the better pick.
- Cataclysm (Mythical) is the highest-damage Mythical trait and the best non-Secret option for offensive builds. Its 42% damage multiplier is only 8% behind Celestial, which is impressive for a trait that is 10x more likely to roll.
- Overlord (Mythical) is the most versatile Mythical trait because of its balanced stat spread. The 38% damage, 25% defense, and 20% cooldown reduction mean it performs well in every situation without any weaknesses.
- Malevolent (Legendary) is the best Legendary trait and an excellent stopping point if you do not want to grind for Mythical or Secret. Its balanced 28% damage, 16% defense, and 14% cooldown reduction rival some Mythical traits in practical performance.
For beginners, we recommend aiming for any Epic trait as your first milestone. Breaker or Dominator will carry you through most content while you save up rerolls for Legendary and above. Once you have a solid Epic, start pushing for a Legendary like Malevolent or Transcendent. Only commit to the Mythical or Secret grind once you have a reliable Trait Reroll farming method running.

How to Farm Trait Rerolls Efficiently
Farming Trait Rerolls is the backbone of the entire trait system. The more rerolls you can earn, the faster you reach higher rarity traits. Here are the most efficient farming strategies we have tested.
- Boss farming is king. Bosses drop Trait Rerolls at a much higher rate than regular mobs. Focus your time on whichever boss you can kill the fastest. For early-game players, the lower-level bosses on the starter islands are quick to cycle. For mid-to-late game players, the bosses on Shinjuku Island and beyond drop multiple items per kill, increasing your overall yield.
- The Quake Fruit method. Multiple community members on Reddit have confirmed that using the Quake Fruit on Shinjuku Island is one of the fastest Trait Reroll farming methods available. The Quake Fruit’s area-of-effect attacks let you clear groups of enemies quickly, and the boss spawns on Shinjuku have solid drop tables for Trait Rerolls. If you have access to Quake Fruit, this should be your primary farming loop.
- Stack mob kills between boss spawns. Bosses have respawn timers, so fill the gaps between boss kills by farming regular mobs in the same area. While mobs have lower individual drop rates, the sheer volume of kills adds up over time. AoE abilities make this much faster than single-target farming.
- Set a farming goal before you start. Decide what rarity tier you are targeting and calculate roughly how many rerolls you need. For a Legendary trait, budget around 100-200 rerolls. For Mythical, budget 200-400. For Secret, budget 1,000-2,500. Having a concrete number prevents burnout and helps you decide when to stop and when to keep pushing.
- Use the trading community wisely. Some players trade Trait Rerolls for other items like Clan Rerolls. The commonly cited exchange rate is roughly 10 Trait Rerolls per 1 Clan Reroll. If you have excess Trait Rerolls from farming, trading can be a way to diversify your resources. Just be cautious of scams and always verify trades before committing.

Final Thoughts on Sailor Piece Traits
The trait system in Sailor Piece is one of the most impactful progression mechanics in the game. A single trait swap from Common to Secret can more than double your damage output and cut your cooldowns by a third.
