Away Team Traits

Traits will give you a higher critical chance on away team missions. Trait xp is rewarded from a daily mission, from battle pass events, an away team mission and occasionally in random events. Investing it wisely will help you to gain a considerable amount of rewards in increased critical mission successes over time.

Common officers have no traits. Uncommon have one, rare have two and epic officers have three traits. In order to unlock the second trait, you must have full leveled up the first trait to it's maximum.

So in this example, to unlock Ghrush's first trait, I'd have to spend 1,500 trait xp. The more ranks that are put in, the higher the cost. You can see the second and third traits are greyed out, and could not be gotten till the first trait is at its maximum level.

Cost of Maxing Officers

When selecting officers for a mission, you can see which ones have the traits required for the mission by the dots in the corner. If the dot is white or blue, it means the have the corresponding trait to the Critical Traits required. White dots mean you can learn the correct trait, blue dots mean you've already trained it. So here you can see Dedicated is upper left, Warrior is bottom Left, and Reliable is upper right.

So you can see that Bones has Dedicated, but hasn't learned it. Kerla has Reliable, but unlearned. Cap. Tilly has Warrior, but unlearned. Klaa has warrior, and has learned it, since it's blue.

Until you put an officer in, you can't see the base chance of success with a mission. Here I put Rima in, who has none of the traits needed, and you can see the chance of crit went up to 10%. This is the actual base chance of the mission.

So if I replace Rima with Klaa, I'll increase my crit chance. Klaa is currently a Level 1 Warrior, and you can see the crit chance went up to 15%. That means for each trait level you add to the mission, you'll get another 5% chance to crit and get those K'Vort blueprints.

So you can choose to either spread that trait xp out across many officers, or focus on one or two to complete a specific mission that has a specific reward you might be looking for.
