Temperaments

Each hero has a temperament which modifies the hero's stats. This temperament remains part of them if they are captured and converted into a monster.

Body Swap, once acquired at the Guidance Stone, allows you to apply a new prisoner's temperament to one of your existing monsters. This is shown as 'Transfer' on the monster upgrade screen. It also shows the number of Transfers remaining for the run.

Your starting acolyte always begins with their own temperament, which can be upgraded at the Dark Gods' Spear using Progenitor Blood. Once upgraded to the Awakening level, they will keep their own temperament effect when Transfer is used to apply a hero's temperament.
