CORRUPTION FAQs
What is a Corruption?
A Corruption is your chosen power path. You select one when you first join RELIQUE. Each path includes an ability, a passive effect, and two negative effects.
How do Watts work?
You start at −1 Watt. Killing another player gives you one Watt and removes one from them; dying removes one Watt from you. Your Watt total decides which parts of your Corruption are active.
When can I use my ability?
Your ability unlocks at 2 or more Watts. Before that, your Corruption may provide only passives and/or negatives, depending on your Watt level.
Can I change my Corruption?
Yes. Players can craft a Rebirth to select another Corruption. The exact crafting recipe is configured by the RELIQUE team and will be shared before launch.
What happens if I die?
You lose one Watt. That can disable your ability or change the effects available to you, so every fight has consequences.
Are there special weapons?
Yes. RELIQUE includes three custom mythical weapons: two blades and a hammer. Their recipes and abilities will be revealed by the team.
Where can I see every Corruption ability?
The complete ability guide and announcements will be posted in the RELIQUE Discord before launch.
