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
