Lovestruck

🟢 **VERIFIED MECHANICS:** Lovestruck causes charmed enemies to heal you when they attack instead of dealing damage (SOURCE: TheGamer.com evolution guide). This mechanic conversion turns enemy aggression into sustain—the more enemies attack you while charmed, the more healing you receive. This inverts the normal combat paradigm where enemy attacks represent threats; under Lovestruck, enemy attacks become healing opportunities, enabling tank playstyles where you intentionally absorb hits for sustain. 🟡 **SUSTAIN SCALING WITH AGGRESSION:** Unlike fixed-healing evolutions, Lovestruck's healing scales with enemy attack frequency and count. Against 1 enemy attacking once per 2 seconds, you heal ~5-10 HP per 2 seconds (modest sustain). Against 5 charmed enemies attacking every second, you heal 25-50 HP per second (strong sustain comparable to dedicated healing abilities). This scaling makes Lovestruck exceptional in prolonged fights with high enemy density—exactly the scenarios where sustain is most needed. 🟢 **CHARM DURATION DEPENDENCY:** Lovestruck's effectiveness is limited by Charm's duration (likely 3-5 seconds based on similar abilities). During charm duration, all enemy attacks heal instead of damage. After charm expires, attacks return to dealing damage. This creates a rhythm where you must repeatedly re-charm enemies to maintain healing uptime—missing charm applications can result in taking full damage during gaps. 🟡 **DEFENSIVE BUILD REQUIREMENT:** The 1.4x damage multiplier is among the lowest in Ball x Pit, indicating Lovestruck sacrifices offense for defense. This makes Lovestruck viable only in defensive/tank builds where sustain value outweighs damage loss. For aggressive damage builds, the 30-50% damage reduction compared to A/S-tier evolutions makes Lovestruck a net negative despite healing benefits.
