Corruption

Witch skill · Chaos line · tier 4

Beta 0.7.2

The corruption catches and spreads inside.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 8 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Corruption scales with Decay. Its value at each rank is 54.3 + 15.5 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	69.8	85.3	100.8	116.3	131.8	147.3	162.8	178.3	193.8	209.3

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Chaos skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.

Corruption has no synergies: no skill boosts it and it boosts no other skill.
