Feats in this game are basically passive abilities like holding more consumables or doing x% more damage. There are 3 feat trees for each character, the first tree being the same for all of them and the other 2 being more specialised for that character.
Unlocking feats requires one feat point per feat and feat points can only be earned by gaining levels. You will need to get level 20 to get all available feats for any character. This can take time with your first character but will be much easier with other characters as you will likely have already unlocked all levels and found yourself a nice easy one to cheese your way through.
I found that using "crystaline dreams" act 3 was a pretty decent one to use. It's short, you can run past the first fight. If you don't pop the barrels in the second fight you can have the cultists die to acid damage by dashing from 1 end to the other they will walk straight towards you until they are in the edge of the acid. Just keep avoiding the big guys sword attacks then hitting him in the back a few times when he punches the floor afterwards. This fight is not the easiest at low level with no gear, you die quick. You need to pay attention and dodge alot. Once you've survived that fight though there's only the boss to go and on this level he can be cheesed to drop to his death by blocking at the edge of the centre platform.
With a fresh character I do this on tier 3 until I get a rank 3-4 weapon (to help in the one fight you actually need to do) then move straight on to tier 6 for more xp and the added bonus of rank 4-5 gear per run including 2-3 legendary. This is really cheesy but if you only wanted to play through once but still want those achievements just the first tier 3 run on this level will get your fresh character to lvl 5 and the gear and levels your gaining once you get a better weapon and move onto tier 6 makes this easier the more you do it.
