Minimum Lust
A character's minimum lust is the minimum value that the character's lust can be lowered to. For a starting character this value is 0, but several perks or other effects can increase the minimum lust of a character. This page details the way Corruption of Champions calculates a character's minimum lust. Minimum lust also affects a PC's minimum libido, which is initially 10; see notes.
Calculation
Minimum lust boosting effects do not directly stack. Instead, the boosts to minimum lust usually see a decrease in effectiveness when a character already has a high minimum lust. Corruption of Champions applies the effects of each boost to minimum lust in sequential order. Each item in the list takes into account only the effects of the items above it. The calculation begins with a minimum lust of 0.
- The Bimbo Body, Bro Body, or Futa Form perk.
- If the character's minimum lust is above 40, increase by 10
- Else if the character's minimum lust is above 0, increase by 20
- Otherwise, increase by 40.
- The Omnibus' Gift perk
- If the character's minimum lust is above 40, increase by 10
- Else if the character's minimum lust is above 0, increase by 20
- Otherwise, increase by 35.
- The Nymphomania perk
- If the character's minimum lust is 40 or above, increase by 10
- Else if the character's minimum lust is above 0, increase by 15
- Otherwise, increase by 30.
- The Anemone Arousal status, gained from the completion of an anemone pregnancy while the character has the maximum 10 cocks
- If the character's minimum lust is 40 or above, increase by 10
- Else if the character's minimum lust is above 0, increase by 20
- Otherwise, increase by 30.
- The Hot Blooded perk
- If the character's minimum lust is above 0, increase by half the value of the Hot Blooded perk (10 unless the save has been edited)
- Otherwise, increase by the value of the Hot Blooded perk (20 unless the save has been edited)
- The Luststick Adapted perk
- If the character's minimum lust is 50 or above, increase by 5
- Otherwise, increase by 10
- The Pierced: Crimstone perk
- Increase minimum lust by value 1 of the Pierced: Crimstone perk. This value is equal to 5 x the number of crimstone piercings the character has received.
- The Pent Up perk, obtained from Greta in the Bizarre Bazaar for 100 gems (for every cocksock implanted)
- Increase minimum lust by value 1 of the Pent Up perk and lust vulnerability percentage by half of the value. This value is equal to 10 + 5 x the number of cocksocks the character has received.
- The Luststick status, gained from oral contact with Sophie or some other harpies.
- If the character's minimum lust is below 50, increase to 50.
- Shouldra's sexual frustration:
- No sex for 168 hours (7 days) - increase by 20
- No sex for 216 hours (9 days) - increase by a further 30 (+50 total)
- Note: If still no sex for 236+ hours and it is 3:00 AM, Shouldra will rape the PC and go batshit crazy, causing an Edward Dickhands nightmare. (This will reset her frustration timer and the minimal lust associated.)
- This scene will not happen if the PC is genderless; they still need to find a way to relieve Shouldra.
- If all else fails, kicking Shouldra will reset the sleep timer... and her frustration.
Uses and drawbacks
On the face of it, having a higher than usual minimum lust is a drawback. As a character automatically loses in combat when lust hits 100, having a higher starting lust puts them at a disadvantage. In addition, white magic cannot be used while the character's lust is 75 (85 with pure Jojo's Enlightened perk) or over. However, black magic requires that the character have 50 or more lust to cast, so a high lust can be useful for characters who depend on black magic and do not wish to waste turns fantasizing in battle. A high enough minimum lust also ensures that the sex scenes, both from defeated opponents as well as NPCs and camp-mates, are always available. With low libido and high enough lust resistance, a minimum lust of 50 is encouraged (as well as very low corruption) to be able to cast all spells.
High minimum lust may also cause libido and subsequent lust gains to increase due to way it is calculated. Libido will never drop below 10 but will always be at least 2/3 of the PC's minimum lust (33 1/3 at 50 minimum lust). It is recommended to combat this effect using the lowest possible sensitivity (10 if genderless, otherwise 15) if lust resistance is quite low.
Warning: If a character raises their minimum lust to 100 they may become trapped permanently in camp. Characters are unable to leave camp with 100 lust unless the character is unable to masturbate. Only characters who have the dysfunction status (gained from numb rocks or minotaur blood) or who are a centaur and has no penises greater than 5/6 of their height and no fuckable nipples are able to leave camp with 100 lust.
