Trait Build Strategy

Do: Choose Traits Early

  • Choose your trait before upgrading a vehicle — traits synergize differently at each upgrade level
  • Focus Champion Tokens on your main racing vehicle first
  • Keep S-tier traits (Force Sensitivity, Master Mechanic) — they are extremely rare
  • Use Hazard Run for the best Champion Token farming
  • Complete Daily Challenges for bonus Pilot XP and Credits

Don't: Waste Resources

  • Do not reroll Force Sensitivity or Master Mechanic for sub-traits — no way to lock traits currently
  • Do not spend Galactic Coins on trait rerolls — save for Season Pass
  • Do not spread upgrades across many vehicles — focus one main ship
  • Do not invest heavily in Common vehicles — replace them quickly
