Check a small second damage type before discarding it
In a Corruption setup, a small Acid or Crush component can matter beyond its printed base amount because the damage components can each benefit. Do not judge a mixed-damage item solely by whether it has less of your main damage stat.
Compare the actual attack against the same target
- Identify an attack that actually uses the damage types you are adding.
- Keep the Corruption setup and target consistent when comparing outcomes.
- Check the target-specific preview after the effect is active.
- Retain the mixed item only if the resulting gain justifies its equipment space and any lost defenses.
Do not turn the interaction into a universal multiplier
This is not a promise of triple total damage, nor a reason to replace every weapon. Enemy defenses, ability wording, and the applied effect all matter. Avoid importing a fixed consumable value or one boss example into every encounter.
