Dawn Piece Traits Tier List – All Buffs Ranked

Pick the best one.

March 4, 2025

Not sure which trait to roll for in Dawn Piece? Well, we’re here to help. In this guide, we’ve ranked every single trait from S tier to D tier to help you determine which trait you should pick, and which you should pick. We’ve even introduced an OP tier, as there’s a single trait that sticks out from the rest of the pack.

Dawn Piece Traits Tier List

Below, you can find all traits ranked in our tier list from OP (the best) to D (the worst)

OP Tier

We don’t often use this tier unless there’s a specific item or character that’s just considerably more powerful than any other option. That’s Overlord in Dawn Piece, as it boosts nearly every stat by a higher margin than any other buff in the game.

Trait	Buffs
Overlord	+1.5 Strength, Defence, and Weapon Damage

S Tier

Our S tier options are still very powerful, if you can’t get the S tier. Heroic edges it here, as damage is more important than defence, but you will still have a great time with Emperor.

Trait	Buffs
Emperor	+1.25 Damage (All Sources) and +1.35 Defence
Heroic	+1.35 Damage (All Sources) and +1.25 Defence

A Tier

These options excel before you hit endgame, but start to drop off later in the game. Warrior is the best option, though Arcane is still great.

Trait	Buffs
Arcane	+1.35 Weapon Damage and Defence
Warrior	+1.35 Strength and Ability Damage

B Tier

These traits are perfectly fine during the early/midgame, with the edge going to Striker as our favourite option in this category.

Trait	Buffs
Supreme	+1.8 Defence
Striker	+1.25 Ability Damage
Strong	+1.25 Strength
Swordsman	+1.25 Weapon Damage

C Tier

These aren’t bad traits, but they won’t particularly help you either. Culling is only really helpful during niche circumstances, and Titan is better than nothing but is overshadowed by any trait higher in the tiers.
