What Torment Pulse Does
Its effect in the shop, and where it sits in the upgrade tree.
Effect
Tier 3 SpiritPeriodically deals spirit damage to the closest two enemies nearby.
Corrupted Torment Pulse
The Broker trades Torment Pulse for a corrupted version: stronger stats, plus penalties rolled once per match.
The Broker is a merchant who shows up around minute 30 of a normal match and again roughly every 15 minutes after. He swaps a tier 3 or 4 item for its corrupted version. In Street Brawl, every player gets to corrupt an item after the round 5 item draft.
A corrupted item keeps its effect with stronger stats, and takes on penalties from a fixed set. They are rolled once per match, so every corrupted item in that match carries the same ones.

The Broker only trades from about minute 30, so corrupted items only show up in longer matches; read the difference with that in mind.
