Race Shift

Race Shift is a mechanic appearing in Shin Megami Tensei NINE
==Profile==
Most demons have a Species value, ranging from 0 to 100. If this value is lower than the values of other species, a Race Shift can be performed at the Cathedral of Shadows, changing that demon into another one of a different Race. If all values except the one belonging to the demon being race shifted are at least 80, the result will be a Fiend.
Species values can be changed by defeating enemies. When an enemy demon is defeated, demons with the same species will have their values decreased, while others have their values increased.
Since Elements, Spirits, Fouls, and Fiends lack a species, they cannot perform a Race Shift.
