For anyone who still has trouble defeating Cervius:
The score needed to beat him is 13,000 points. Unlike the Castle Town and Ralkyx arenas, that value is
always the same. In fact, Cervius is technically NOT the strongest judge of the game, since the scores to beat Castle Town and Ralkyx are randomly generated between 9,000~14,000 and 11,000~17,000, respectively.
Most of you may have noticed this already, but Contests are battles. Sex Moves are skills that you use to deal damage to the judge, and at the end of the battle the game will check whether the total damage you've dealt during the battle has managed to surpass the high score or not. Sex Moves are divided into three "elements:" Romance, Special, and Hardcore. Each judge has a different set of resistances to each of those elements.
| Romance Judge | Specialist Judge | Hardcore Judge | Generalist Judge | Cervius |
| Romance | x1.5 | x0.5 | x0.5 | x1.2 | x1.2 |
| Special | x0.5 | x1.5 | x0.5 | x1.2 | x1.2 |
| Hardcore | x0.5 | x0.5 | x1.5 | x1.2 | x1.2 |
As you can see, Cervius has the same resistances as a Generalist, so it doesn't really matter what kind of attacks you use, just use the most efficient ones.
But, which skills are more efficient? Here's a spreadsheet I made with the damage formulas for each skill:
You must be registered to see the links
What's the point of knowing the damage formulas for each skill? Simple. Some skills, like Tatsumi's
Tentacle Implant, make use of your current HP. This means that those skills get progressively
weaker as the battle goes on. Then you have skills like Corrin's
Dragon Tease and Souma's
Spanking, which make use of your Pleasure meter and the difference between you maximum and current HP, respectively. This means that those skills get
stronger as the battles goes on.
Also, please take in consideration that each skill has a 20% variance rate. This means each skill can deal between 80% and 120% of their regular damage. For example, Link's
Doggystyle has the following formula: 75 + (8 x Attack). Assuming a level 10 Link with 28 Attack, the result will be 299 damage. 299 is 100% (regular) damage, but because of the variance rate the skill will actually deal between 239~358 damage.
Interestingly enough, most of the skills are set to be impossible to crit, but some do. However, none of the characters has a critical hit rate and none of the judges has a critical evasion rate, meaning that it's still impossible to crit. Most likely Redflash forgot to set those skills to be impossible to crit.
Oh, and one more thing: Sora's Hardcore Buff, which can be acquired by using either Mastery (Vanitas) or Mastery (Vanitas) Orgasm, will give him a x1.5 damage buff to Hardcore skills.
