Special Trait Mechanics

๐Ÿ‘‘ One Placement

Ruler trait reduces placement limit to 1 but massively increases power. Ace with Ruler becomes a "1 placement nuclear bomb".

๐ŸŽฒ Double Trait

Extremely rare chance to get two traits at once. "Double Duelist" and "Double Prodigy" have been seen. Achievement exists for double Unique trait.

๐Ÿ”„ Reroll Sources

Level milestones (10/level), Half-hour challenges (3), Featured Challenge (best late-game), Gold shop.

โš ๏ธ Common Mistake

Don't waste rerolls on low-priority units. Focus on Kyito (Duelist) and Speedwagon (Fortunate) first - they're easier to hit.
