E.G.O Corrosion

[Ratohou]

anyone knows how to activate the E.G.O corrosion?, i have activated it 2 times but i really dont know what i have done to make that happens.

I think your sanity has to hit negative.

Only time I saw it happen was when my team got bodied and Rodion went into her 4th match flame ego.

You need negative, better -45, sanity. It is hard to reach.

yeah, i noticed that, but i really wanted to know specific how much sanity negativity its need and etc, this could add more to the game, and it's a funny information to do some challenges and things like that.

While I've never gotten it to trigger, my understanding was that it had to bring you to less than -45 sanity, which is why the base E.G.O.s (which cost no sanity) couldn't corrode. So for something like 4th Match Flame to corrode you you'd need to be at -26 or less (since it costs 20 sanity).

Update, I got a corrosion at -35 (using a 20 cost at -15sp) so it's not just at =<-45

If a sinner drops below -45 sanity and has any EGO that isn't the default equipped, they'll go through EGO corrosion. It takes the most recent EGO used, and if the only one used is the default it picks at random from the others equipped.

The only way I know how to farm negative points is to spam ego's and only defend until you have the points for it. This also only really works in the mirror dungeon.

You can force a corrosion, if you long hold the ego. If you have two times the resources needed to cast it you then it will only target the enemy.

This was a very old post, but also overclock and corrosion are different.
Under corrosion a Sinner can spam EGO for free at the cost of indiscriminate targeting. Overclock is just a one-time (and rarely helpful) use of the corroded attack.
