Elder Scrolls Castles Traits Tier List
There are twenty traits in Elder Scrolls Castles, and not all are equal. It’s up to you to utilize these traits to ensure your Dynasty runs smoothly and prospers. However, knowing which traits to pick over others can be tricky. Here’s anElder Scrolls Castles traits tier listfor subjects and rulers, so you know exactly what to focus on.
All Traits in Elder Scrolls Castles Ranked
A unit’s traits in Elder Scrolls Castles will behave differently if they are a subject or ruler. For this reason, I have created two separate tier lists that explain precisely why a trait is good or bad and the effects it’ll have on the owner and those around it.
All subjects and leaders can have up to seven traits, so it is important to remember this whenattempting to breed legendary babiesand using them for tasks like manning production stations or turning them into leaders.
Subject Traits Tier List for Elder Scrolls Castles
The traits in the S Tier list have no negative consequences and are highly beneficial to the subject that has them and others around them.
The traits in the A Tier list benefit the owner and those around them but have minor negative consequences that won’t affect important things like production too much.
These traits are only in the B Tier because they make subjects extremely powerful fighters if you like completing quests. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend putting them into production stations unless you are pairing them together. For instance, you may combine three Volatile and one Bossy trait for a good synergy.
The traits in the C Tier aren’t good or bad, but they are still hard to recommend. For instance, your goal is to be as productive as possible, so limiting the time you spend on a subject with the sophisticated trait in a music stageto increase happinessshould be minimal.
The traits in the D Tier are the worst of the worst. Unless you have a specific reason for keeping them around, it is recommended that youbanish subjects with bad traitsto breed new subjects with positive traits.
Ruler Traits Tier List for Elder Scrolls Castles
The traits in S Tier will turn a subject into an instrumental leader when it comes to managing the day-to-day of your dynasty. They also have zero consequences when used, so you don’t have to worry about the other side of the coin like you do with other traits.
The traits in the A Tier are helpful but can become more challenging to manage unless you build your Dynasty with these in mind. For instance, even without the Pyromaniac trait, you’ll need a lot of Oil tofulfill orders to farm goldand keep your stations running.
The traits in the B Tier all deal with the impact of a ruling you make. However, some rulings will have a negative impact no matter what, which makes these traits hard to justify over others. These traits drop down to D Tier if you play a no Rule playthrough.
The traits in C Tier aren’t beneficial, but they won’t also cause many issues with your subjects when used.
The traits in D Tier go against one of the most critical tasks in the game, which is to be as productive as possible. Most of these traits will make your subjects unhappy, which will cause a lot of drama for your ruler and the other subjects (think assassinations).
