General Information
As of game version 1.0.5.2
• There are 25 Traits in total
• There are way more enemy types than 25, but not all of them can be absorbed
• Most of the Traits get more expensive with each rank and have a diminishing returns effect
• 1 Trait (Spinesnake) is currently missable
The spoiler factor of this guide is very low.
It mainly covers mechanics.
The guide will show you which Traits are available in the game, from which enemies they can be absorbed, and the individual effects of each Trait Rank.
Neither do I reveal enemy locations, nor do I cover Bosses in this guide - with the only exception being the missable Spinesnake Trait, which is covered behind a spoiler tag.
