Lusty Joker is a Common Joker that provides conditional Additive Mult to played hands. One of the four 'sinful' Jokers made to support specific Card Suits, it gives +3 Mult each time a  Heart card is scored. If the played card is retriggered, either by a Joker effect or by its own Red Seal (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png), Lusty Joker's effect will activate again.

• Magic Deck ( Start run with the {{V|Crystal Ball|class=hl-purple}} voucher and {{hl|orange|2}} copies of {{tarot|The Fool}} Win a run with the {{D|Red}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Magic Deck.png)'s Fool Tarots can be used to mass-convert cards to have Heart suits.
• Ghost Deck ( [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Spectral}}]] cards may appear in the shop, start with a {{spectral|Hex}} card Win a run with the {{D|Yellow}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Ghost Deck.png) can find a Sigil (Converts all cards in hand to a single random [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|suit}}]] Available from start. Spectral Sigil.png) Spectral card in the shop, which may convert cards into Hearts.
• Certain Erratic Deck ( All [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|Ranks}}]] and [[Suits|{{hl|orange|Suits}}]] in deck are randomized Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Orange}} difficulty or harder Erratic Deck.png) configurations can have more  Hearts.
• This Joker is easier to take with Checkered Deck ( Start run with {{hl|orange|26}} {{suit|Spades}} and {{hl|orange|26}} {{suit|Hearts}} in deck Win a run with the {{D|Black}} on any difficulty Checkered Deck.png), as the deck starts with 26 Heart playing cards.

This Joker works best with Flush-type hands that only contain Hearts:

• Flush
• Straight Flush (and Royal Flush)
• Flush House
• Flush Five

Other hands that score more cards are generally better to play with Lusty Joker, as they allow more Heart cards to be scored.

• As Lusty Joker's effect triggers when a Heart card is scored, retrigger Jokers, that allow cards to be scored multiple times, are very good to combo with Lusty.
• Flush Jokers, like Crafty Joker ({{Chips|+80}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Chips Independent Crafty Joker.png) and Droll Joker ({{Mult|+10}} if played hand contains a {{ph|Flush}} Common Additive Mult Independent Droll Joker.png), work well with Lusty Joker, as you want to be playing flushes to maximize Lusty's effect anyways.
• Bloodstone ({{hl|green|1 in 2}} chance for played cards with {{suit|Heart}} suit to give {{xmult|1.5}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Heart}} suit in your deck Uncommon Multiplicative Mult On Scored Bloodstone.png) also triggers off of Heart cards scored, forming a natural synergy with Lusty Joker. As Bloodstone gives X Mult on a chance basis, Lusty Joker can be a natural addition to Oops! All 6s (Doubles all [[listed probabilities|{{hl|orange|listed}} {{hl|green|probabilities}}]] <br> {{hl|grey|(ex: {{hl|green|1 in 3}} -> {{hl|green|2 in 3}})}} In one hand, earn at least {{hl|orange|10,000}} chips Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Oops!_All_6s.png) builds, which tend to use Lucky cards and other chance-based Joker effects, or other "X Mult from cards played" Jokers, like The Idol (Each played [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|[rank]}}]] of [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] gives {{xmult|2}} when scored<br><small>Card changes every round</small> In one hand, earn at least {{hl|orange|1,000,000}} chips Uncommon Multiplicative Mult On Scored The Idol.png) or, sometimes, Ancient Joker (Each played card with [[Card Suits|{{hl|orange|[suit]}}]] gives {{xmult|1.5}} when scored, <br> <small>suit changes at end of round</small> Rare Multiplicative Mult On Scored Ancient Joker.png).
• Because Lusty Joker's Mult is applied during the scoring of your played cards, Jokers that focus on creating Tarot cards are helpful to Lusty Joker's viability. They can both allow more Hearts to be created, and create certain Enhancements (particularly Glass and Steel) that work well with high hand-scoring Mult builds.
• Smeared Joker ({{suit|Hearts}} and {{suit|Diamonds}} count as the same suit, {{suit|Spades}} and {{suit|Clubs}} count as the same suit Have at least {{hl|orange|3}} [[Wild Cards|{{hl|orange|Wild Card}}]] in your deck Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Smeared Joker.png) effectively turns all Diamond cards into Hearts for the purpose of Lusty Joker's effect.

• When facing The Head ( Boss The Head.png), all Heart cards are debuffed, meaning Lusty Joker cannot activate.

• Lust is one of the traditional seven deadly sins. The four basic Jokers that provide +3 Mult for each suit are each based on these. The other Sinful Jokers are Greedy Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Diamond}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Greedy Joker.png), Wrathful Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Spade}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Wrathful Joker.png) and Gluttonous Joker (Played cards with {{Suit|Club}} suit give {{Mult|+3}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Gluttonous Joker.png).
• Lust is considered a more shallow or primal version of love, and hence, is associated with  Hearts.
• Lusty Joker's uncommon counterpart, Bloodstone ({{hl|green|1 in 2}} chance for played cards with {{suit|Heart}} suit to give {{xmult|1.5}} when scored Have at least {{hl|orange|30}} cards with {{hl|orange|Heart}} suit in your deck Uncommon Multiplicative Mult On Scored Bloodstone.png), could be based on the phrase "bloodlust" and therefore be connected to Lusty Joker.
