Game Data	Strategy

This is a technical list of all the traits and what they do, just in case the trait selection screen isn't good enough for you.

All effects stack additively (so that three ranks in Ironman will give 30 additional HP), unless said otherwise. Multiple percentage modifiers (for example, Finesse and Son of a Gun) are added if from the same source, and the resulting speeds are multiplied together afterwards.

As of 0.9.9.3, the maximum level of basic traits has been increased (called "extended max" on this page). Upon reaching level 12, all traits that have a standard max of 3 can be increased to a max of 5, and all traits that have a standard max of 2 can be increased to a max of 3.

Basic Traits

All basic traits can be picked from the start, IE they don't require anything.

Ironman

Shorthand	Iro
Max. Rank:	3
Extended Max.	5
Unlocks	None
Effect 1	Max health and current health are increased by 10 per rank. With no points in Iroman, a player begins with 50 HP.
Effect 2	Each level of Iroman gives +10% inherent resistances to bullet, shrapnel, and melee damage, which will stack on resistances from armor and other sources like berserk.

Finesse

Shorthand	Fin
Max. Rank:	2
Extended Max.	3
Unlocks	Juggler (1 rank), Whizkid (2 ranks)
Effect	Attack time is decreased by 15% per rank.

Hellrunner

Shorthand	HR
Max. Rank:	2
Extended Max.	3
Unlocks	Dodgemaster (2 ranks)
Effect 1	Movement time is reduced by 15% per rank.
Effect 2	Dodging chance is increased by 15% per rank.

Tough as Nails

Shorthand	TaN
Max. Rank:	2
Extended Max.	3
Unlocks	Badass (2 ranks)
Effect	The player's inherent protection is increased by one per rank (applies after protection from armor in damage calculation).

Son of a Bitch

Shorthand	SoB
Max. Rank:	3
Extended Max.	5
Unlocks	Triggerhappy (2 ranks)
Effect	One extra damage is dealt per attack per rank. For weapons that fire multiple shots, the effect is applied to each shot.

Son of a Gun

Shorthand	SoG
Max. Rank:	3
Extended Max.	5
Unlocks	Dualgunner (2 ranks)
Effect	Pistols (or pistol-type weapons) fire 20% faster and deal one more damage per shot, per rank. (Note that the minimum time weapon firing time is 0.1s, regardless of bonuses.)

Reloader

Shorthand	Rel
Max. Rank:	2
Extended Max.	3
Unlocks	Shottyman (2 ranks)
Effect	Reload time of all weapons is reduced by 30% per rank.

Eagle Eye

Shorthand	EE
Max. Rank:	3
Extended Max.	5
Unlocks	Intuition (2 ranks)
Effect	Your accuracy is increased by two points per rank.

Brute

Shorthand	Bru
Max. Rank:	3
Extended Max.	5
Unlocks	Berserker (2 ranks)
Effect	Melee attacks (either with fists or a melee weapon) deal three more damage and melee accuracy is increased by two points, per rank.

Advanced Traits

Juggler

Shorthand	Jug
Max. Rank:	1
Prerequisite	Finesse (1 rank)
Effect	Swapping weapons takes no time, working with any sort of weapon swapping.

Berserker

Shorthand	Ber
Max. Rank:	1
Prerequisite	Brute (2 ranks)
Effect 1	Each successful melee hit adds to a berserk "counter". When the counter reaches four (or less, if there are other monsters within your vision) then you will gain 20 actions' worth of the berserk effect.
Effect 2	Whenever you are harmed by a single source of damage equal to at least 10 HP and one-third of your nominal maximum health, you will gain 20 actions' worth of the berserk effect. Both effects' gain is less than twenty relative to the amount of berserk time you currently have (peaks at 100).

Dualgunner

Shorthand	DG
Max. Rank:	1
Prerequisite	Son of a Gun (2 ranks)
Effect 1	If you have a pistol in both the weapon and prepared slots, you will fire both at the same time at 120% of the normal firing time. If wielded pistols have different firing speeds, the mean is used before multiplication.
Effect 2	Allows the reloading of pistols in both hands at once using the alternate reload key.
Effect 3	If your equipped and prepared weapons are both pistols, then swapping them takes zero time.

Dodgemaster

Shorthand	DM
Max. Rank:	1
Prerequisite	Hellrunner (2 ranks)
Effect	The first dodge between each of the player's moves will automatically succeed.

Intuition

Shorthand	Int
Max. Rank:	2
Prerequisite	Eagle Eye (2 ranks), or Scout class

Effect 2	Certain objects on every floor are visible. The first rank reveals powerups, and the second rank reveals the position of enemies out of Vision within radius of sight +2.

Whizkid

Shorthand	WK
Max. Rank:	2
Extended Max.	3 (Technicians only)
Prerequisite	Finesse (2 ranks), or Technician class
Effect	Increases the number of available mod slots for ranged weapons by 2 per rank, while increasing the available mod slots of melee weapons, armors, and boots by 1 per rank. This also allows advanced assemblies with the first rank and master assemblies with the second. The second rank of Whizkid additionally allows any assemblies to be modded once, while the third rank will allow a second mod to be added to any assembly (except for those created with a unique that have a one mod limit).

Badass

Shorthand	Bad
Max. Rank:	2
Prerequisite	Tough as Nails (2 rank), or Marine class
Effect 1	The first rank allows the player to retain boosted health up to 150% before health decay kicks in, and the second rank allows the player to retain boosted health up to 200% without any health decay.
Effect 2	Any knockback the player sustains is reduced by one tile, per rank.

Shottyman

Shorthand	SM
Max. Rank:	1
Prerequisite	Reloader (2 ranks)
Effect	Shotgun-type and explosive-type weapons in the weapon slot can be reloaded by moving.

Triggerhappy

Shorthand	TH
Max. Rank:	2
Prerequisite	Son of a Bitch (2 ranks)
Effect	Gives an extra shot per rank for all weapons that fire 3 or more shots per action.

Master Traits

Master traits have rather constraining requirements: in addition to needing a partcular set of basic and/or advanced traits, you also cannot have any of the "blocked" traits (listed before the prerequisites).
