How to Level Up Traits in Remnant 2
The mechanics of leveling up traits inRemnant 2are somewhat similar to the original title,Remnant: From the Ashes.Like its predecessor, players need tospend Trait Points to level up traits. Each of the traits can be upgraded to Level 10 to provide more intense benefits. Players can earn Trait Points in the following ways:
Unfortunately, the game limits how many Trait Points a player can have. Players can earn a maximum of65 Trait Pointsin Remnant 2. Once they reach this point, they will no longer get any Trait Points by finding the Tomes of Knowledge or defeating bosses.
With only 65 Trait Points to spend, players will not be able to max out all of their Traits. As such, they need to be careful and wisely choose which traits to level up. However, this doesn’t apply to Archetype traits. Archetype traits automatically gain +1 when their respective Archetype levels up. In dual class, the Prime Archetype additionally assigns another 5 Trait Points to the Core Traits.
Once an Archetype Trait is maxed to level 10, players can use it even if they have equipped a different Archetype.
Players should choose traits that align with their individual playstyle and build. If they change their mind at any point, players can reallocate all their Trait Points by using theOrb of Undoing.
