How to corrupt a Card

[Sanzas]

The storepage shows a screenshot with "Card Corruption", which shows that you can gamble with shards for corrupting a card. How do I access this? Is it a building I have to unlock, or is this only available through corruption rewards?

Corrupted cards are earned through random card rewards, possibly special events too, and the bell altar node.

In your case, probably the bell altar. Find an altar with a bell. Go to it, and you'll be able to corrupt cards for a potentially steep price.

There's a node in Act IV (bell, bottom path) that let's you gamble to corrupt cards.

Ahh that explains it, I never reached that node. Thats pretty late tho, I hoped that would be a regular event. Thanks!

Do they stay corrupted permanently or just for the rest of that run? Haven't played since they added it.

Its just like any other card you get during a run. It has the chance to be yellow or blue. And a low chance to be corrupted.

You never keep any card you get between runs.

Ok, so it's just another tier of the card then. Yellow, Blue, Corrupted. Not mutating an existing card into a new one that then gets added to the pile and becomes available like the rest.

Corrupted is basically the yellow and blue upgrade combined together, though sometimes that's a worse upgrade than the others.
