Lust

Lust is a major game mechanic in Lust Grimm. It is one of the methods used by the game to represent Magruth gradually giving in to the temptations of the Succubi.

Description
Lust is a meter that ranges from 0 to 100%. By default, it appears on the world map, during battle and in the menu. It can, however, be set to not appear on the map, to not appear during battle, or to only appear in the menu.

As the Lust meter increases, the player will suffer increasing disadvantages during battle. Enemy attacks do more damage and sometimes hit twice. The chances of struggling out of holds or escaping battle decrease. Certain enemies will use powerful attacks (prefaced by "Killer Technique" and denoted by red text) once Lust exceeds certain thresholds. At 100% Lust, the player can no longer struggle out of holds. It is thus important to manage the Lust meter, otherwise battles will become excessively difficult and, eventually, unwinnable.

Lust increases when: the player attempts and fails to struggle out of a hold; when they flee battle (always adds 5%), when they step on Suspicious Liquid (always adds 10%), occasionally when they are attacked by an enemy; when they use certain items; and when they experience events (usually adds 80%).

Lust decreases when: the player uses certain items; the player is defeated by any enemy (sets Lust to 0%); the player uses the services of a Memory Mage (sets Lust to 0%).
