Traits can be very complex and some parts can have more than one Traits.
So, here's everything you need to know about Traits:
ABOUT TRAITS
Some gunship parts give your gunship temporary bonuses or penalties which only apply in specific circumstances. In those cases, the stats bonuses/penalties are displayed on the relevant gunship part in the form of what we call a Trait!
When you Purge your gunship, All Traits are suppressed for 3 seconds, unless they are on weapons.
- Some traits take effect for as long as a condition is met.
- Some traits requires a condition to activate, then linger for some time;
- Some traits have an instantaneous effect when triggered;

If no enemies are within 100 units, Transmission effect doesn't apply at all.
Reflect Damage
A percentage of damage received by this gunship is also applied on the attacker (calculated before all forms of damage mitigation).
This is only true for basic damage types, not combo damage.
The exact percentage of damage reflected varies for each trait.

The amount of time it takes before the Negative Effect is triggered greatly varies for each weapon.
