If you scored high enough in the Lust category during the opening tutorial quiz or at some point later on in the story, you will receive the Fiend of Lust as one of your partners. Lust is a PSY-oriented character, combining blazing hot and biting cold Authorities to deal high damage at maximum range. This is one of the highest damaging characters in the game, so to build them right, you need to know all abilities for the Fiend of Lust in Monark.

Of the abilities listed above, the two “ultimate” abilities of Purgatorial Furnace and Frostbarren Garden potentially have the most impact. Map-wide damage is extremely helpful for whittling down units idling in a corner somewhere, especially if you can heal the residual damage on your own units. Lust’s damage output with lower-tier Authorities, such as Up in Flames and Hailstorm, is quite high and extremely useful in the early to mid-game. Finally, Heat Death can pull off surprise one-hit KOs, which is quite useful for quick, clear bonuses.
