Editing Corrupted Powers

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Corrupted Powers}}
'''Corrupted Powers''' are negative effects in ''[[Galactic Glitch]]'' that can be obtained from corrupted sources. Unlike regular [[Powers]], corrupted powers give you '''shards''' but come with '''drawbacks''' that must be cleared.

== Overview ==

Corrupted Powers are found in:
* '''Corrupted Shops''' - Dark versions of regular shops
* '''Corrupted Crates''' - Special crates with glitched appearance
* '''Glitched Enemies''' - Sometimes drop corrupted items

When you pick up a Corrupted Power:
# You get '''2 random drops''' (shards, health, etc.)
# A '''chance to spawn a selection reward''' (power choice) - this chance '''increases''' the more corruptions you take!
# The negative effect activates
# A '''clear condition''' appears showing how to remove it

<div style="background: rgba(139, 0, 0, 0.15); border: 2px solid #8b0000; border-radius: 10px; padding: 12px; margin: 10px 0;">
'''Risk vs Reward:''' The more corrupted powers you take, the higher your chance of getting selection rewards. Stacking corruptions is risky but can lead to powerful builds!
</div>

== How Clearing Works ==

Each Corrupted Power has a specific way to clear it:
* '''Killing enemies''' - Kill a set number of enemies
* '''Clearing rooms''' - Complete a set number of combat rooms
* '''Instant''' - Effect happens once and is immediately removed

The counter appears below your health bar showing progress toward clearing.

== Strategy ==

=== When to Take Corrupted Powers ===

'''Worth taking:'''
* '''Purge''' - If you have many powers and can afford to lose one random one
* '''Trade Malfunction''' - If you've already bought what you need
* '''Handle With Care''' - If you don't rely on crates for shields/ammo
* '''Motion Dampener''' - If your build has good mobility powers

'''Avoid taking:'''
* '''Armor Erosion''' - Very dangerous at higher [[Boss Orb Level]]s
* '''Integrity Loss''' - Permanent HP loss is never worth 150 shards
* '''Weapon Degradation''' - If your build focuses on weapon damage

=== Clearing Efficiently ===

* '''Kill-based clears''' are faster if you're good at combat
* '''Room-based clears''' are safer but take longer
* Multiple corrupted powers stack - be careful not to take too many!

== Corrupted Sources ==

=== Corrupted Shops ===

Special shops with a glitched/dark appearance that only sell Corrupted Powers. They appear randomly during runs, especially at higher [[Boss Orb Level]]s.

=== Glitched Enemies ===

Enemies with a purple/glitchy appearance drop corrupted items more frequently. See [[Enemies#Glitched Variants|Glitched Enemy Variants]].
