DIRECT ANSWER / FIELD-READY
Corrupted are vessels consumed by Rot with no exposed weak point; a screamer can cascade-summon more. Prioritize the enemy changing the encounter for everyone — usually a caller, Rot source or Spark threat — before finishing the nearest isolated target.

FIELD NOTE / 01
Behavior before labels
The recorded model describes Corrupted as vessels consumed by Rot with no exposed weak point, and screamers that can cascade-summon more. Identify whether a threat closes space, spreads Rot, summons pressure or punishes exposed Sparks. This remains useful even if community names change.
FIELD NOTE / 02
A simple priority rule
Remove the threat that multiplies danger (a screamer), then the one blocking retreat, then clean up isolated attackers. If the crew cannot do that in order, disengage.
