In the vast expanse of Stellaris, your empire’s success hinges on not only your diplomatic prowess and military might, but also on your careful selection of Traditions. These unique paths offer distinct bonuses that will shape the way your empire is made. But choosing the best Traditions in Stellaris for your empire is hard. So I made a guide to help you dive into the 7 best Traditions for galactic domination in Stellaris.

1. Prosperity: Best Tradition for Wealth

Starting off, maintaining a strong economy is vital for any empire in Stellaris. The Prosperity Tradition is the best choice when it comes to building such an economy. Just from adoption, you will immediately gain a +20% Mining Station Output. Which is a huge economic boost right away.

Adding on, not only do Mining Stations get a great bonus, but so do your Pops. With a +5% Resources from Jobs and a -5% Upkeep from Jobs, your empire will be prosperous. Finally with -10% Upkeep for Buildings, Districts, and Starbases, you can build more while spending less. Making it the top choice of the 7 best Traditions for Galactic Domination in Stellaris.

2. Supremacy: Best Tradition for Military Dominance

When it comes to military might, look no further than to adopting the Supremacy Tradition. This tradition is essential in any game to ensure you can compete in a war against neighboring empires.

Some core assets that this Tradition offers includes the +10% Ship Fire Rate and the +20% Damage vs Starbases. Which is vital for any war. Additionally, the +20 Naval Capacity from adoption and +20% Naval Capacity ensures you will have the opportunity to make a large navy without worries of increased upkeep. Along with the other bonuses, this makes the Supremacy Tradition one of the best Traditions in Stellaris.

3. Discovery: Best Tradition for Technology

The Discovery Tradition is probably the most fun Tradition to use. It allows you to really dive into the lore of Stellaris. And it really makes roleplaying your game a lot better. With a +35% Survey Speed and a +20% Anomaly Research Speed you will learn a lot about your galaxy. Also, the +20% Research Station Output and +10% Research Speed allows you to jump ahead of your rivals in technology. Making the Discovery Tradition an excellent choice for creating a technological superpower. With the added fun of learning the lore of Stellaris.

4. Harmony/Synchronicity: Best Traditions for Stability

Whether you are a Gestalt Consciousness or a single-minded entity, you will find these Traditions as being vital to maintaining your empire. Which is why they are some of the best Traditions for galactic domination in Stellaris.

Harmony Tradition

Made for non-Gestalt Consciousnesses, this Tradition gives great boosts to your planets and population. With a -10% Pop Upkeep and -15% Empire Size from Pops, you won’t have to worry about your population size impacting your economy and technology growth. Additionally, the -10 Crime and +5 Stability helps your planets remain stable and orderly so you can focus on your preferred aspects of the game.

Synchronicity Tradition

Made for Gestalt Consciousnesses, this Tradition offers the best bonuses to your pops. This Tradition is much like Harmony apart from one key aspect. The +2 Amenities from Synapse Drones for Hive Minds ensures your economy is at its strongest with very productive pops. Or if you are a Machine Intelligence, the -3 Deviancy from Evaluators ensures your robots are functioning at their best.

5. Unyielding: Best Tradition for Defense

It is said that the best defense is a strong offense. And this Tradition lives up to that saying. With an easy +33% Increase Hull Points and Damage of Starbases and Defense Platforms, you can trust your Starbases can withstand a strong foe. This and the +4 Starbase Capacity ensures you have plenty of opportunities to build a strong defense on chokeholds.

Finally, the very best feature, especially for Gestalt Consciousnesses is the effect: Defense Armies now produce 0.5 Unity. Which really stacks when you are a Gestalt Consciousness with many planets. Therefore making it an admirable Tradition in Stellaris.

6. Statecraft: Best Tradition for Government Council

Having strong council leaders will often rewards you with great boosts to specific areas of your empire. And the Statecraft Tradition will ensure it is maximized. If you build your empire to focus on the Government Council, you will truly see the power of a strong government. Firstly, the +50 Edict Fund will help you afford another strong Edict. This and the bonuses this Tradition gives to your councilors will ensure they excel to very high levels. Which, the higher the level, the better the empire-wide modifiers they give.

Finally, the +25% Councilor Agenda Speed and the +25% Council Agenda Effect Duration will help you maintain the incredible boosts completing Council Agendas awards you with. Hence making it an amazing choice when it comes to picking the best traditions in Stellaris.

7. Expansion: Best Tradition for Expanding

Finally, the last Tradition on this list would have to be Expansion. An excellent choice for building wide empires that can hold many planets. With a focus on, well, expansion, you can efficiently build many Starbases in the early game. Starting off, the -10% Starbase Influence Cost and the -20% Starbase Upkeep ensures you can build many Starbases for cheap.

But the most vital part of this Tradition are the Pops modifiers. With the effect: New Colonies start with 1 additional Pop. And the +10% Pop Growth Speed. You will find new colonies easier to manage. Also, you will find yourself ahead in population. And more Pops mean more workers, which means more Energy Credits. Therefore it serves as an amazing early game Tradition for building wide empires. Making it one of the best Traditions in Stellaris
