Description
Unique Traits adds randomized combat modifiers to every sword in the game.
Whenever a sword enters a player’s inventory — whether crafted, picked up, or taken in Creative mode — it is automatically assigned a random Trait with a rarity tier. Each trait grants a unique combat ability, creating dynamic and unpredictable gameplay.
🎲 Rarity System
Every sword rolls one of four rarity tiers:
-
Common – 50%
-
Rare – 30%
-
Epic – 15%
-
Legendary – 5%
Higher rarity means stronger or more impactful abilities.
🧬 Available Traits
🩸 Vampiric
Heals you for a percentage of the damage dealt.
❄️ Frostbite
Applies slowness to enemies, with a chance for a stronger effect.
💥 Flame Burst
Has a chance to trigger a small explosion on hit (no block damage).
