When starting out and when leveling your characters, they will eventually get some negative traits. Some of them can be extremely frustrating to have, while others are way more manageable.
With over 10 negative traits available, it can be hard to select the best one, especially since it depends on your class.
In this guide, I will mention the best negative traits to pick in Wartales that can be selected without harming your character significantly.
Combine these traits with the best classes in Wartales to make sure you’re team is ready to take down any enemy.
Best Negative Traits to Pick in Wartales

The best negative traits are those that will not hinder each character’s gameplay and they depend on their class and playstyle.
Without further delay, let’s see the three best negative traits to pick in Wartales.
3. Unlucky
Unlucky reduces the character’s Critical Hit by 3%. This perk should be used on any non-DPS character.
For instance, this is a great choice for your Swordsman, as long as you’re building him as a tank.
As long as the character doesn’t care about critical hits, Unlucky is a safe option.
2. Scrawny
Scrawny reduces the character’s Constitution by 5%. As long as your character doesn’t have high HP, this perk is a safe option as its negative effect will be almost negligible.
For instance, on a Ranger that is known for its extremely low survivability, this perk won’t make a difference at all.
However, you should avoid using this on any of the tankier classes such as the Swordsman, Brute, and Warrior.
1. Loafer
Loafer reduces the character’s carrying capacity by 3. This trait can be used when the above two don’t fit. Regardless of your character, the Loafer perk is always a safe choice.
Just make sure not to use it on every single character as you’ll end up being unable to carry almost anything.
Based on your character’s class and playstyle, pick any of the three perks above and you’ll make sure to go through the game without any major debuffs.
Wrapping up
To sum up, the best negative traits to pick in Wartales are Unlucky on non-DPS characters, Scrawny on non-tanky characters, and Loafer on DPS and everything else.
This way, your characters will be mostly unaffected by the negative traits.
