Lust Goddess – Beginner's Guide 2026

Getting Started

Lust Goddess is a free-to-play adult card strategy game for PC (Steam or browser) and Android. You play the Captain: you lead a Commander — Ethan at the start — and recruit mercenary girls to fight other players' squads.

In the browser version you can start right after the 18+ age check: the game loads for about a minute and opens the tutorial. Kitty, the pink-haired girl in the cat-ear headset, walks you through your first battles, your first crates and the squad screen. After that, Captain's Path on the home screen — 17 steps mixing tasks, league milestones and crates — shows you what to do next, and its task steps pay Emerix Gems and Credits.

How Battles Work

Battles are turn-based and fought on a grid of cells between two Commanders. Each Commander is a unit with its own Health, and you win when the enemy Commander's Health drops to 0.

• Your hand: you play mercenaries from a hand of cards (three on a new account) and place them on free cells.
• Attack and Health: most units show both values; a fist icon marks a melee attacker, a crosshair a ranged one.
• Abilities: most mercenaries carry one or two abilities written as short rules — Block, Poison, Barrier, Stun, Heal, Lifesteal, Pierce and more. Many trigger on spawn, at the end of a turn or when another unit dies.
• Your Commander: Ethan starts with an ability that damages every deployed enemy; his next abilities unlock at levels 11 and 21.
• Speed: the x2 button speeds up the animation once you know how a fight will go.

Factions, Classes and Rarity

Every mercenary belongs to one of three factions — Peacekeepers, Freemen or Syndicate — and one of three classes: Sentinel, Fighter or Replica. Rarity runs from Common through Rare and Epic to Legendary, and the card frame shows it in green, blue, purple or gold.

Factions matter in battle because some abilities only boost allies of the same faction — Breacher, for example, gives the allied Peacekeepers extra Attack for a turn — so it can pay to field several cards from one faction. Legendary cards carry the girl's own name, while her Epic, Rare and Common versions go by a callsign, so one girl can appear on several cards. All 290 cards are on our characters page.

Your Squad

A new squad has five slots, and more open as you climb: a sixth at League 28, a seventh at League 26 and an eighth at League 22. The BEST button fills the open slots with the strongest cards you own. It is a good starting point, but a slightly weaker card from the same faction can be worth more if it switches on another card's ability.

Levelling Mercenaries

Recruits and crates give you copies of cards. When a card's copy bar is full, you can level it up for Credits. The first level-up takes 5 copies for a Legendary, 15 for an Epic and 25 for a Rare or Common card, plus 100 Credits, and both costs grow with each level — a Common needs 200 copies by level 6. Levels raise Attack, Health and ability values, and a card's second ability unlocks at level 6 or 11.

Your Commander grows with the squad: when your squad power reaches the next threshold, the LEVEL UP button on the Commander's card unlocks. Further upgrade tabs open on each card later — Modification, Neural Link, Reboot and Boost — next to Outfits.

Leagues and What They Unlock

Leagues count down: you start in League 30 and climb toward League 1. Early wins against other players add 10 trophies each, and the trophy counter has to reach 20 to leave League 30, 40 to leave League 29 and 100 to leave League 28. A win also drops a crate into a free crate slot (you start with four). Crates open on a timer and hold Credits, gems and card copies, and every three wins also fill the Win Crate.

• League 28: sixth squad slot
• League 26: seventh squad slot
• League 23: Alliance War, Boost and Heli Racing
• League 22: eighth squad slot and most commanders

Many mercenaries unlock at a set league as well; the progression page lists the numbers.

Free Rewards

• Captain's Path: 17 steps for new players; the task steps pay Emerix Gems and Credits — Fair Fight (win three battles against other players) gives 20 gems and 100 Credits.
• Quests: Daily and Weekly quests fill a 100-point track with a crate every 20 points; Epic quests pay gems once, and joining the Lust Goddess Discord server is worth 50.
• Free recruit: the shop gives you one free recruit every 7 days.
• Crates: every win against another player drops one into a free slot, so keep a slot free — a crate with nowhere to go is lost unless you open it right away with gems.
• Inviting friends: you earn rewards as the players you invite climb — 300 gems when one reaches League 27 and 1,500 gems at League 16 — with a final reward once three of them reach League 16.
• Promo codes: official codes are rare. The codes players share are invite codes, and they work only on new accounts below League 26; enter them under Profile → Promotion Code. Current codes are on our promo codes page.
• Events: 152 of the 260 mercenaries are event cards, so most of the roster comes from events. See how events work.

Beginner Tips

• Follow Captain's Path first. Its steps point you to the next useful thing, and the tasks pay gems and Credits.
• Level a core squad. Costs grow with every level, so put copies and Credits into the cards you actually field.
• Keep factions together. Some abilities only buff allies of the same faction.
• Keep a crate slot free. A win with all slots full gives you a crate you can only keep by opening it with gems.
• Spend event tokens in time. They disappear when the event ends.
• Recruit in tens when it's discounted. One recruit costs 149 gems (99 for the very first), ten cost 1,499 (1,299 when discounted).
• Claim the weekly free recruit. It is the cheapest way to add new cards.
