Battle Traits modify the battle to make it harder. Each level of Battle trait chosen raise the XP multiplier, based on difficulty. 30% in Looming, 70% in Glaring and 120% in Haunting. They have a maximum of seven levels. Each level cost more Shadow Core than the previous: 1 for the first 2 for the next and 3 for the third and so on in Looming difficulty. In Glaring it is multiplied by 2 and in Haunting by 3. Battle traits are purchased before the battle for Shadow Cores and you only need to pay if you win. With the Magician's Pouch, maximum XP multiplier is x19.90 for Looming, x45.60 for Glaring, and x78.10 for Haunting. Without it, the maximum XP multiplier is x13.60 for Looming, x30.90 for Glaring, and Haunting isn't available.
For each level of battle trait taken number of waves increases by 1 (counted after adding waves from difficulty). When choosing giant domination the extra waves are always giants, and in Endurance you get +5% more giant waves for each level of giant domination, up to +35% more waves with giants. This is the same for swarmling domination.
Higher difficulty raises monster stats, battle trait shadow core cost, XP multiplier and drop rarity range
