Corrupt Charge

Corrupt Charge is a mod that increases the inital Combo Counter of melee weapons while reducing the reset timer.

Stats

Rank	Initial Combo	Combo Duration	Cost
0	+7.5	-12.5%	4
1	+15	-25%	5
2	+22.5	-37.5%	6
3	+30	-50%	7

Combo counter starts with 8/15/23/30 as base value.
- Combines well with Killing Blow.
Decreases combo counter reset time by 12.5% / 25% / 37.5% / 50%.
The Combo Duration penalty is calculated from the melee weapon's base value. Meaning it always subtracts exactly 2.5 seconds and therefore is easily counteracted by
Body Count and/or Drifting Contact

When this mod was released, only a fully ranked version could be acquired. It was patched in Hotfix 10.3.1 (2013-10-09).
As of Update 13.0 (2014-04-09), this is the only Corrupted mod that does not feature any sort of Prime equipment on its portrait.
- Prior to Update 13, the mod depicted a Frost Prime brandishing Fang Prime.
Due to a bug introduced around Update 13.0 (2014-04-09), Corrupt Charge could be obtained through Transmutation up until late 2014. This made it one of two Corrupted Mods that could (unintentionally) be obtained outside of Orokin Vaults (a similar bug occurred with Anemic Agility, which was a potential drop from Ballista from Update 13.0 (2014-04-09) to Hotfix 15.7.2 (2014-12-19)).
Unlike most mods, the picture shows an Excalibur wearing the Pendragon helmet, his Immortal Skin, as well as a different color scheme. This is a rare instance of a mod depicting a non-default character loadout. The other examples are Life Strike, Second Wind, True Punishment, Enduring Strike, Warrior's Grip and Quickening, all of which are channeling mods.
