## Rarity

The Rarity of a BattleFly impacts how Traits are selected for that Fly and additionally determines if the Fly will receive free Mod Packs at the beginning of a new season.

The breakdown for each Rarity is:

* **Common**: 0 Packs, 2 Choices Per Trait Selection
* **Uncommon**: 0 packs, 3 Choices Per Trait Selection
* **Rare**: 1 Packs, 4 Choices Per Trait Selection
* **Epic**: 3 Packs, 5 Choices Per Trait Selection
* **Legendary**: 5 Packs, 6 Choices Per Trait Selection
* **Artefact**: 15 Packs, 6 Choices Per Trait Selection

## Traits

In Season 2 the Traits system was redesigned to address the Trait based imbalance present between BattleFlys of different rarities. All BattleFlys now get to select their Traits as they level up using the new [XP Track](/advanced-gameplay/the-xp-track.md) to ensure Flys with synergistic strategy top the leaderboards and not only those who received a lucky Trait assignment.

Rarer Flys still receive some in-game perks which are detailed here[^1].
