What is Corruption?
Makes Skills free while exhausting them, creating explosive turns and a finite defensive resource.
This reference covers gameplay decisions in the original Slay the Spire. Character-specific options and relic synergy can change how useful an item is, so consider your current deck, health, upcoming enemy and available resources before applying a strategy.
When and how to use it
Use it with draw, Exhaust synergies, or relics that reward the rapid cycling of skills.
What to avoid
If damage output is insufficient, exhausting all defensive cards can leave the next cycle exposed.
