Pressure

When exploring Hollows with high Ether activity, the Pressure gauge will increase by 10-30 for every movement into an unexplored area. Once Pressure reaches 100, the squad will suffer Pressure Overload, obtain a random Corruption, and have their Pressure reset to 0. The squad can sustain up to five Corruptions at a time, which have various negative and positive effects on combat and exploration. The fifth consecutive Corruption will typically be related to the current Zone's final boss.

Pressure can be reduced by various Hollow Events, such as Safety Zones and Bank Zero Branch, or by using Bangboo Plug-Ins like the Concentrated Sedative. Corruptions can be removed by specific Hollow Events such as Purification Rooms or Closed Gate - Corruption.

List of Corruptions

There are 37 Corruptions:

Image	Name	Effect	Description
	Assimilation	Agents gain less Pressure (-5), but lose HP (2.5%) when obtaining Resonia.	You grow accustomed to the burning pain of the restless Ether as you gradually become one with the Hollow... This is the path to total collapse.
	Demotivation	Off-field characters gradually lose Energy. (1/second)	Your raging battlelust has dried out. You fight only to survive.
	Destructive Urge	Rest Areas and Swift Supplies no longer recover HP. Instead, after each battle, all squad members recover 3% of Max HP. Before the next floor and final battle, recover 10% of Max HP.	The insatiable craving for destruction overrides reason, providing momentary respite only when completely sated.
	Energizing Effect	Enemy Daze diminishes over time, but the Stun DMG Multiplier is increased. (+15%)	Squad members are shrouded in a mist of special Ether. It seems to be provoking the Ethereals.
	Exhausted	Decreases HP when exploring through the monitor. In combat, on-field characters will lose HP gradually.	Like air, the corruption of the Ether seeps into every being, humans or robots alike.
	Frightened	When Pressure overloads, all squad members lose HP. (20% Max HP)	"Oh nooooo... We're done for!" "I just sneezed. Am I going to die?"
	Grasping Fervor	Purchasing items from Bangboo merchants costs HP instead of Gear Coins.	An appetite for all that lies within sight, regardless of the cost. Seize them, and take them away.
	Harshness	Bangboo merchants only sell S-Rank items.	The concept of "tolerance" has been stripped from the mind, leading to a critical outlook on everything.
	Hay Fever II	Nineveh's damage increases by 50% and summons Hornets more frequently. Nineveh also activates "Blooming." A certain amount of HP is lost when exploring new areas. In combat, on-field characters will lose HP gradually.	This is a "blooming" that can't be seen with the naked eye, a strange structure vibrating its dazzling "petals." Caught in a blur, you find yourself dancing in the air with that mesmerizing, deadly flower — who's that person on the ground, frozen in astonishment?

	Insatiable Greed	Gear Coin events generate more Gear Coins (+10%) but also inflict more Pressure (+20%).	Unleash yourself from all restraints and moderation, releasing the overwhelming burden by plundering everything in your path.
	Megalophobia III	Corruption Complex deals 50% more DMG. Attacks from allies no longer accumulate Daze, but breaking weak spots inflicts a substantial amount of Daze.	Upon realizing their insignificance, their attempts to evade falter, and endeavors to attack appear futile.
	Megalophobia II	Corruption Complex deals 40% more DMG. Attacks from allies no longer accumulate Daze, but breaking weak spots inflicts a substantial amount of Daze.	Upon realizing their insignificance, their attempts to evade falter, and endeavors to attack appear futile.

	Megalophobia I	Corruption Complex deals 30% more DMG.	Upon realizing their insignificance, their attempts to evade falter, and endeavors to attack appear futile.
	Overcaution	Upon entering the next floor and starting the final battle, lose 300 Gear Coins and recover 10% of Max HP for all squad members. However, failure to pay will immediately deduct 15% Max HP from all squad members.	Caution becomes a feeble pretext for the fear of moving forward, urging one to pursue an illusory path of safety amid the Hollow's malevolence.
	Parasitic Mycose	When an Agent's HP is above 50%, HP recovery speed is significantly reduced. When an Agent's HP is below 50%, HP recovery speed is significantly increased.	Greedy when you are strong, merciful when you are weak...
	Primal Malice III	Typhon Slugger deals 50% more DMG and is Immune from all Attribute Anomalies.	Just like a gorilla mimicking a human with a weapon, the beast, devoid of reason, skillfully pulls the trigger. This evokes thoughts of the primal malice encountered only in barbaric lands.

	Primal Malice I	Typhon Slugger deals 30% more DMG.	Just like a gorilla mimicking a human with a weapon, the beast, devoid of reason, skillfully pulls the trigger. This evokes thoughts of the primal malice encountered only in barbaric lands.
	Rampage	The Bangboo merchant offers discounts (20%), but also fewer items.	For some reason, everyone has become tough and fierce, and not even the resourceful Bangboo merchant can handle these difficult customers.
	Resistance Decline	Traps become more deadly. (+10 Pressure from Disconnection, +5% HP loss from Corruption)	Your body and mind are weakened, as fragile as wreckage in the Hollow.
	Resonium Repulsion	When selecting Resonium, you have fewer choices.	This stuff makes me feel sick... It smells like Ethereal... it's not an embryo, is it?
	Self Reassurance	You receive Gear Coins (200) when Pressure increases, but can only possess up to 3,333 Coins.	"Calm down... Yeah... I will survive as long as I have Gear Coins..."
	Shadow of Horror III	The Dead End Butcher deals 40% more DMG. He restores a small amount of HP when he hits squad members.	Fear slumbers within the recesses of memory, stirring awake with each uncontrolled, pounding heartbeat.
	Shadow of Horror II	Dead End Butcher deals 30% more DMG.	Fear slumbers within the recesses of memory, stirring awake with each uncontrolled, pounding heartbeat.
	Shadow of Horror IV	The Dead End Butcher deals 50% more DMG. He restores Daze and a small amount of HP when he hits squad members.	Fear slumbers within the recesses of memory, stirring awake with each uncontrolled, pounding heartbeat.

	Shadow of Horror V	The Dead End Butcher deals 50% more DMG. He restores Daze and a small amount of HP when he hits squad members.	Fear slumbers within the recesses of memory, stirring awake with each uncontrolled, pounding heartbeat.
	Sinister Resonance	Boss attacks have a chance (50%) to deal critical damage (+50% DMG Dealt).	Don't breathe easy just yet.
	Super Homerun	No more path ahead. You have to leave the Hollow.	I wanna, I wanna go home... I don't wanna try anymore!
	Suspicion	When Pressure increases, there is a chance (50%) your Pressure either does not increase or increases by a lot (2×).	The intensifying uneasiness in your soul is taking its toll.
	Toxic Dependency	HP is restored at the conclusion of combat (3%), but Pressure is increased (+25).	The enemy explodes in a puff of Ether, and bathing in it you feel a sense of soothing like never before. Who cares about the price. More! More enemies!
	Uncanny Valley III	Twin Marionettes deal 50% more DMG and revive much faster.	Hesitation emerges from semblance and shatters under the weight of disparities.
	Uncanny Valley II	Twin Marionettes deal 50% more DMG and revive much faster.	Hesitation emerges from semblance and shatters under the weight of disparities.
	Uncanny Valley I	Twin Marionettes deal 40% more DMG.	Hesitation emerges from semblance and shatters under the weight of disparities.
	Weakened	Dodge has a longer cooldown. (+1.5s)	The old signature fighting moves and combos... It's a struggle now just to recall how they went.
