Remnant 2 Kinship Trait Levels

Kinship upgrades its effect as you level up your Archetype, or spend more Trait Points in it. Note that for any Archetype Trait that reaches max level (Level 10), players can unlock that trait for any archetype from the archetype page, without needing to equip its respective Engram.

Remnant 2 Builds that use Kinship

Kinship is essential in builds that focus on large AoE damage, such as the mods Firestorm or Big Bang. Your co-op teammates will thank you! Friendly fire damage also applies to damage you deal to yourself, and since you are both the person dealing and receiving the damage, it's reduced by a hefty 96%.

Remnant 2 Kinship Notes & Trivia

• Kinship drastically reduces self-damage: since self-damage is dealt to you by yourself it receives the reduction twice (at level 10, self-damage is reduced by 96%)

• Traits are unique passive abilities that provide bonuses and buffs to a player. There are three types of Traits in the game. 
• Core Traits are common for all four Classes, and are unlocked as soon as you begin the game.
• Archetype or Class Traits, are locked behind their respective Archetypes, and only one can be equipped one at a time, unless you have the ability to combine any two of your Archetypes.
• The third type, called simply Traits can be equipped by any Class, but have to be unlocked. Unique Archetype Traits can be leveled up as you level up the corresponding Archetype. On the other hand, the rest require Trait Points in order to be upgraded. Note that they cap at level 10.
