What Are Traits?
Traits are enhancers you can add to armor to do special effects.

Whichever one you use, you’ll have a great new effect. You can find them via exploring certain areas or by completing certain Challenges in your menu. Each of these Traits has 3 different levels. Level 1 slightly increases the effect, Level 2 greatly increases the effect, and Level 3 significantly increases the effect. To apply Traits to armor, you need the following items.
