Passive Traits
A companion may carry one passive trait, and it applies wherever that companion is used. The effect line under each trait states exactly what it does.
The catalogue
A knack for coming back with more of everything from an expedition.
+10% expedition yield (stacks per squad member)
Chance when newly rolled: 12.50%
An insatiable drive to improve; earns bonus experience for itself from every expedition and incursion floor it clears.

Chance when newly rolled: 12.50%

Chance when newly rolled: 12.50%
A star-blessed pet; grants a permanent Gold wild die at the start of every Incursion, the same as a Celestial Marking.
+1 permanent starting Gold wild die in an Incursion (stacks with Celestial Marking)
Chance when newly rolled: 12.50%
Unbothered by circumstance; doesn't get shaken by repeated failure as easily as other pets.

Chance when newly rolled: 12.50%
Always looking toward the horizon; better odds of stumbling on a Vista out on expedition.
+5% chance to discover a Vista on expedition collection (stacks per squad member)

Where a trait comes from
- Starlight Nesting. A newly nested companion has a 40% chance to inherit Parent 1's trait, 40% for Parent 2's, and 20% to settle on a fresh one from the catalogue above.
- A Prism Refraction. A companion with no parents settles on a fresh trait using the catalogue odds shown above: the same weighted pick as the 20% branch above.
- Re-rolling. A Legacy Echo infusion on the companion's page (150 🎐) swaps the trait for a different one. The result is random but is never the trait the pet already had, so a re-roll always changes something: though it can still land on one of the no-effect traits above. Each companion can only be infused 2 times total, shared between a trait re-roll and a stat-ceiling boost, so choose when to spend one.
