If you want to complete your migration into the depths of the ocean in Crab God, empowering your colony of Crablings with the best Traits in the game is probably as important as collecting Food or Favor. If you’re wondering what Traits you should be looking for, here’s our handy guide to the best Traits to give your Crablings in Crab God.
Best roles for each Trait in Crab God
After completing a stage of migration in Crab God, your Crablings will each receive a minimum reward of food to increase their level, and if you have extra food in your stock, you can allocate it to any Crablings you want to strengthen them.
Your Crabling colony in Crab God must rely on Traits to power itself. When a Crabling reaches a new level, they will be able to choose a new Trait from three random options that gives them great sand while they live.
Below we’ve listed the best possible Traits to give your Crablings that we’ve found so far. Keep in mind that Traits are random each time, so it may take a while for some to appear. As your Crablings reach higher levels, rare Features (indicated by a gold or purple glow) will start appearing in the selection menu, and you’ll want to grab as many of those as possible.
All in all, you can go one of two ways when choosing Features. You can either give your Crablings a a diverse assortment of buffs (eg – attack stats, garden speed, favorable boost, etc) to make them well rounded in all tasks, or you can assign a specific type of sand to certain Crablings that you prefer to keep in a particular role. For example, giving only Builder-related subscriptions to your chosen Builder Crabling.
It’s all a matter of what works better for you, but when you’re playing on the higher difficulties, you’ll want to choose your Traits carefully.
