Tested it on a monolith I don’t care about, the node is extremely easy, there are several Temple guardians (giant statue-looking dudes), they do very little damage, so in order to get bricked you’d have to go from 100c to like 1000c, for them to become a threat.
Maybe they are not even affected by corruption? (just a guess considering how easy they are).
Also, the most valuable part of a character is gear, so if you somehow lose it and can’t unbrick the situation, might as well level a new one, as corruption and monolith progression is tied to character.
