Synergies
- For Brutality builds, it is possible to back it up with
Vampirism and the 
Recovery mutation to compensate for any mistakes made while the skill is active.
- Beware that some damage sources have a specified limit which will ignore the skill's negative attribute, such as being hit by traps while
Masochist is active.

- As ironic as it may seem, Corrupted Power works well with
Cursed Sword, further capitalizing on the already high damage while forcing the player to dodge all enemy attacks to avoid death, hence technically eliminating its downside.
Notes
- Corrupted Power is best used for burst damage. As a trade-off, the player needs to avoid attacks to the best of their abilities in order to take maximum advantage of the skill.
- It is ill-advised to use weapons such as

Alchemic Carbine and 
Hokuto's Bow with it since the skill does not affect damage from negative status effects such as bleeding, poisoning, and Hokuto's 
mark.
- While Corrupted Power does not work with traditional damage over time effects, it does apply to the mutation
Barbed Tips.

- Corrupted Power works differently from the damage boosting mutations in that instead of increasing a damage value by a percentage, it creates an additional damage instance which deals half the damage of the original.
- Can increase the damage dealt by skills too, provided that they deal ranged or melee damage, such as
Scarecrow's Sickles and 
Pollo Power. - Does not increase the damage dealt by
Homunculus Rune, 
Electrodynamics orbs, pets, deployable traps, grenades or biters, since none of these items deal ranged or melee damage.
- The direct damage applied by these items is not affected by damage boosting mutations either. However, status effects they inflict by design (e.g.
Flamethrower Turret, 
Cleaver) or through affixes can be affected by damage boosting mutations (but not by Corrupted Power).

- Corrupted Power does not increase the bonus damage dealt by
Wolf Trap itself, but it still affects the ranged and melee damage instances which are buffed through Wolf Trap's affix transfer mechanic. Furthermore, Wolf Trap reapplies its affix transfer mechanic on the new damage instances created by Corrupted Power.
