Optics

Legendary (3%)
verified 2026-07-18 · Anime Expeditions traits

Optics is a Legendary trait in Anime Expeditions with a 3% base drop rate, increasing range by 25%, the largest range bonus of any trait in the game.

Optics is a pure range trait, adding 25% to a unit's attack range with no damage, speed or crit component. That makes it the single largest range boost available from any trait, ahead of Primordial's +20% and Forsaken's +10%.

Extra range is most valuable on units placed in tight or awkward spots on a map, or on long-range specialists whose kit benefits from covering more of the path without repositioning.

How the trait works

Optics is a pure range trait, adding +25% to a unit's attack range with no damage, speed or crit component attached. That is the single largest range bonus of any trait in Anime Expeditions, ahead of Primordial's +20% and Forsaken's +10%, and it comes at a 3% base drop rate as a Legendary trait.

Extra range from Optics stacks on top of whatever Range grade a unit already rolled through Stat Potential, so a unit that already has a strong Range roll gets an even larger effective coverage boost when Optics is added on top.

Range matters most in two situations - covering more of a map's path from a fixed placement spot, and letting a shorter-range unit engage targets before they close the distance. Optics is the trait built specifically for either scenario.

Best units for this trait

Bounty Hunter

sits at a notably shorter 16 range at its top tier, so Optics' +25% range meaningfully extends how early it can start hitting incoming enemies

Corps Captain

an even shorter-range unit at 15, making it one of the units that benefits most from Optics closing the gap to its longer-range roster mates

Elf Mage

capped at 3 placements on the field, so extending its reach with Optics lets each of those limited slots cover more of the path

How to roll it

Optics is a Legendary trait with a 3% base drop rate and no documented hard pity, making it one of the rarer Legendary results alongside Investor. It can come from the 75% base trait roll chance on any fresh summon, or be chased by spending Trait Crystals to reroll a chosen unit's trait repeatedly, since Optics has no pity counter to guarantee it after a set number of attempts.
