This article has been verified for the current PC version (3.10) of the game.

This page lists traits specific to the Scientist Scientist class and its sub-classes only. For common traits please see leader traits.

Traits represent the background, education or personality of a leader. Most traits can be upgraded. The way in which leaders gain or upgrade traits depends on whether the Galactic Paragons Galactic Paragons DLC is enabled:

  • If the DLC is enabled:
    • Leaders are able to select a trait to gain or upgrade every time they level up.
    • At level 4, they can choose a Veteran Class and, at level 8, they can choose a Destiny Trait.
    • Veteran traits are in the pool of possible traits, but only for the chosen Veteran Class.
  • If the DLC is not enabled:
    • Leaders gain or upgrade a random trait every 2 levels.
    • Veteran trait pools are turned off, as the leaders do not use Veteran Classes.
    • A number traits are available only if the DLC is not enabled.
