FAQ

How do you get Trait Shards?
Several rows in the code ledger report shards as their reward. A publisher's reward description is not evidence that a code still redeems, so keep your actual balance separate from rewards you have only read about.
Are Trait Shards worth spending on a reroll?
Decide against a budget you set before rolling, not against the result you are hoping for. When the game displays a probability the roll-odds calculator can estimate a chance across attempts, but a 95% estimate is still not a guarantee.

What are Trait Shards used for?

Pro Game Guides describes going to the Traits stand, selecting a character and rolling its trait with Trait Shards (reviewed September 17, 2026). It reports challenges and codes as sources of the currency. Game Rant’s codes page (September 29, 2026) puts the same idea more plainly: Trait Shards “let you shape units instead of hoping the next roll is perfect.” This is community-publisher documentation; the exact current cost and trait pool still need to be read in the game.

Several entries in the code ledger report shards. A publisher’s reward description is not evidence that the code is still redeemable, so separate your actual balance from possible rewards.

What should you check before rerolling?

Read the selected character’s name and current trait. Then inspect the roll cost, any confirmation text and the available outcomes shown by the current UI. Do not assume that a result can be undone, that a trait carries over to another unit, or that every roll has the same probabilities unless the game states that.

Question Your note
Which unit am I changing? Exact name and level
What is my current result? Trait name and visible effect
What will one attempt cost? Read the current screen
What resource amount can I afford to lose? Set a maximum before starting
What would count as good enough? A specific effect or measurable improvement

These notes are a spending plan, not an optimal-build claim. A resource budget keeps a string of unsuccessful rolls from changing your goal halfway through.

How do you estimate a budget?

If your balance is B and each attempt costs C, the number of attempts you can afford is the whole-number part of B divided by C. For example, 120 shards at a hypothetical cost of 3 per attempt allow 40 attempts. Those figures demonstrate the calculation; they are not the game’s confirmed price.

When a probability is displayed, the roll-odds calculator can estimate a chance over a chosen number of independent attempts. Do not enter a guessed rarity or apply an unverified luck multiplier. A 95% estimate is still not a guarantee. Shards end up inside units, so the merge and ranking checklist covers what happens after you spend them, and the tier list calculator estimates whether the unit you upgraded actually hits harder.

When should you stop?

Our suggested stopping points are reaching your budget, obtaining your predefined acceptable result, or discovering that an upcoming unlock needs the same resources. Reassess after a meaningful change in your team rather than treating every newly rolled character as an automatic reason to spend again.
