Boss stages now have "Corruption Crystals", each crystal grants a passive bonus to Corrupted enemies of +30% damage resistance. The resistance bonus is fixed. However, the HP of the crystals is increased by Corruption. Spawning position is random but always within 3 tiles of the Boss. If the ground is lava, then they always spawn on the platform (but you can push them into the lava!).

New Relic: Corruption Catalyst: Gain 1 gold per Corruption point at the end of each stage.

I will soon add corrupted hero items that get their stats increased by current corruption level (so at least you can get something possitive if corruption gets too high), and more ways to increase or decrease corruption.

  • High movement, attack damage and accuracy.

  • Low HP and resistance. Medium evasion.

  • +50% damage to Heroes
