Corruption is a game mechanic in Aethermancer related to the combats.

The first turn of a combat against Star Spawn. None of the ally monsters are with max HP

Everytime an ally monster takes damage without being shielded, it will gain corruption points, depending on the amount of damage. At the beggining of the next combat, the monster will start with less HP points, equal to the amount of corruption they have. For example, Wyrmling's default HP is 30. If it has 5 corruption points, it will start the next combat with 25 HP. If somehow a monster gets an amount of points equal to their max HP, they will get insta-killed at the beggining of the combat.

There are a few ways to remove corruption from your monsters. First, some traits and perks remove corruption with certain conditions. Water boons are also capable of removing corruption, although the player needs luck to get the correct boon. If you refuse whatever Lily offers you, she will clean 5 corruption points of your monsters. At last, when the Aethermancer enters Rest Site, they can give a Monster Meal to the monsters, which removes 25 points.

Trivia

  • One of Lily's old dialogues implies that Corruption is somehow related to the Void. When you refused her help, she would mention her "anti-Void potion", saying it is "popular nowadays".
