Build Strategy: Choosing Seven Traits

Overall gives substantial weight to the two weakest traits after adjusting for positional importance. Six outstanding numbers cannot completely hide one poor choice. In Normal mode, look for a strong usable rating in the attributes you have left. Avoid leaving a difficult attribute until the last spin, when you have no alternative slot to fill.

How Ratings and Overall Work

All-Time ratings are subjective ratings written for this game. Current ratings use the source model documented in the project, combining direct rating fields, derived categories and audited leader overrides. Some players require replacement-level estimates. The roster snapshot is fixed to an update date shown in Free Play; it is not a live feed. Current and All-Time use the same overall calculation.
