Ravenbound Traits Guide
Traits are passive abilities that significantly influence how you play the game. There are three types of Traits in Ravenbound: Folk Traits, Weapon Traits, and Standard Traits. Choosing the right Traits is crucial to optimize your gameplay and increase your chances of success. Experimenting with various Traits can open up a world of tactical gameplay opportunities.
The Traits that are accessible in the game are all listed in full below, along with descriptions of what each one accomplishes.
Berserker Trait
If you like to play the game aggressively, the Berserker Trait might be your best bet! This unique trait does not provide armour to you, but it does increase your health by 2% for every damage point your weapon deals. If you’re a true warrior, the Berserker Trait’s 400 cost might be worth it for you.
Dodger Trait
When the Frenzied effect is active, using a Perfect Dodge will not only reset the duration, but it will also increase by 50%. The Dodger Trait costs 300 to unlock. Trust me, this Trait can be incredibly useful in combat, allowing you to maintain a powerful buff for a longer period of time by effectively dodging attacks.
Painbringer Trait
It makes status effects on nearby enemies even more powerful. For every status effect that’s already affecting an enemy, the trait boosts its strength by 50%. This can be quite useful in fight as it enables you to defeat enemies quickly. To unlock, you’ll need to invest 400.
Calculating Trait
You got to pay 500 for this Trait. Basically, you’ll do half of the usual damage when your Surge is not active. But when your Surge is on, your Weapon Damage goes up by 300%!
Bloodfueled Trait
For just 550 you can grab the Bloodfueled Trait that increases your weapon damage by 0.5% for every point of missing health you have. Just remember to pay attention to your health bar!
Commanding Presence Trait
When you possess a Commanding Presence trait, you can use it to your advantage by Surging and inflicting Weakness on enemies who are close by. This ability comes at a cost of 200.
Death of a Thousand Cuts Trait
The Death of a Thousand Cuts trait causes a reduction of 30% in the amount of damage you can deal initially. However, it also increases the frequency of Multistrike attacks by 30%. This trait can be acquired at the cost of 600.
Parrier Trait
The Parrier Trait cost 300 and it also offers a little trade-off. Your health is reduced by 50%, while the guard health is severely damaged—by 70%. The good news is that you won’t get damage if you get a perfect guard. Pretty awesome, no?
