Highlights:
* Elder Scrolls Castles traits tier list – Know which of the 20 traits are ideal for your ruler and subjects.
* Traits can have both positive and negative effects.
Elder Scrolls Castles is a simulation title by Bethesda Softworks in which players upgrade their castles, make rulings, and assign different jobs to their subjects. The non-playable characters (NPCs) or subjects are crucial to the functioning of the castle. Moreover, they have unique ‘traits’ which are usually a double-edged sword for the ruler. For instance, a Pyromaniac is skilled with Fire and can work in the Kitchen or Furnace but they are also prone to arson. Since traits affect the entirety of your castle, learn about the best with this Elder Scrolls Castles traits tier list.
Updated Elder Scrolls Castles Traits Tier List
NPCs in Elder Scrolls Castles can possess up to seven traits. Currently, the game has 20 traits and each impacts the ruler or subjects differently. ‘Charming’ in NPCs distracts coworkers but they are skilled with Summoning spells (pun intended, it seems). Meanwhile, the same trait in a ruler distracts subjects, reduces productivity, but brings more joy during rulings.
Each trait has been placed in this simulation tier list after considering its positives and negatives.
- Tier-0: The best traits. These either improve the efficiency of workers in stations such as Kitchen or Loom or have positive impacts on rulings.
- Tier-1: Valuable traits in Elder Scrolls Castles. Their positives overlap the negatives.
- Tier-2: The opposite of Tier-1 in this Elder Scrolls Castles traits tier lists. The negatives are hard to ignore, similar to the underpowered Rare Traits in Ijul Piece 2.
- Tier-3: Avoidable. These traits aren’t useful for your kingdom.

The Best Traits In Elder Scrolls Castles Explained
Considerate, Leader, Mighty, Perceptive, Pyromaniac, and Enduring belong at the top of the Elder Scrolls Traits tier list due to the following reasons:-
- Considerate: Subjects are skilled in Protective spells, and Kitchen and Loom work. If the Ruler possesses the trait, he or she makes everyone better at the Kitchen and Loom.
- Leader: Subjects make their coworkers work faster while the ruler inspires the NPCs.
- Mighty: Affects the efficiency of Oil Press and Smithy advantageously.
- Perceptive: Affects the efficiency of the Mill and Sewing Table.
- Pyromaniac: Subjects are prone to arson but are efficient in Kitchen, Furnace, and Smithy. Rulers make everyone skilled with Fire but the castle uses more Oil.
- Enduring: This trait improves the longevity of the character.
