Upon leveling up in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, players will gain at least one Trait Point, which in turn can be spent in the Trait Tree menu on either Attack, Defense, or Support Traits. These Traits grant buffs either to stats such as maximum health or to certain attacks. In some cases, Traits can also unlock new abilities, as is the case with Parry.
What To Do First In Game Of Thrones: Kingsroad
With much of Westeros to explore, it can be hard to know what to do first in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad after finishing the tutorial.
Traits lower down on the tree can only be unlocked after higher up Traits connected to them have been unlocked. Lastly, some Traits can only have one point put into them, while others can be leveled up multiple times. Of course, everybody's build will be different depending on their class, but the following are generally the best Traits to unlock first in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad.
If you're unhappy with your choices, it's possible to level down individual Traits or reset completely.
Best Attack Traits To Get First In Game Of Thrones: Kingsroad
Points into Attack Traits are always useful, as there are no other ways to kill foes.
- The Attack Power Increase is a safe bet as it will increase the damage of normal attacks, which are used frequently.
- Put points into Rage Gain Increase if you want to use abilities more often.
- The Mighty Strike Damage Increase Trait is great for finishing off foes.
- After spending 20 points on Attack Traits, 3 new Traits will become available, at the cost of 5 points each.
- Contained Rage is great for using more abilities and dealing more damage with them.
- If you invested in the early Traits that buff Critical Strike chance and damage, make sure to enhance this with the Lethal Strike Trait.
Knowing how to level up fast in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad will mean unlocking Traits faster.
Best Defense Traits To Get First In Game Of Thrones: Kingsroad
You can't go too wrong with Defense Traits. However, if you're good at dodging, then they aren't that helpful aside from unlocking Parry.
Choose the Defense Traits first to unlock the Parry skill ASAP.
- Spend 1 point in Defense Increase or Damage Taken Increase.
- This allows you to unlock the Parry Trait, which is a new skill to use in combat.
- The next 3 Traits are locked until 20 points have been spent on Defense Traits. These cost 5 points each.
- Until then, spend points in Rage Gain Increase if you want to use abilities more often.
- Otherwise, points are arguably best spent on the Max HP Increase Trait.
- The Tenacious Trait is great once it has been unlocked, as Rage gain not only increases, but Rage also helps to take less damage.

- Put 1 point into Rage Gain Increase.
- This unlocks the Max Rage Increase Trait, which is particularly powerful.
- By putting as many points into these two Traits as possible, players will be able to use abilities much more often.
- The next 3 Traits require 20 points to have been spent on Support.
- Heat of Rage is great as players can heal by using skills, which they will be able to do more often if their Rage has been increased with previous Traits.
- If you want to focus on ranged attacks, go for the Craft Bolt and Endless Pursuit Traits.
