TBR - A Guide

Disclaimer: while care has been taken to ensure that the tone of the mode is fun and not graphically violent or gory, this mode does feature boxing images and impact-based physical contact. Do not play this mode if you are uncomfortable with this type of content.

Step into the ring for a contest like no other. The lights dim, the bell rings. And then it starts. Just you and your opponent: toe-to-toe, face-to-face. One will triumph. One will fall. To the winner, the spoils of glory. To the loser... Well... let's just hope it's not you!

Welcome to The Boxing Ring (TBR): a new mode for Erofights that pits players against each other in a one-on-one competitive fight for dominance and then lets them live it as the winner enjoys the spoils of battle.

Game Structure

This is a unique mode of two halves. First, players battle each other in an action-packed boxing-themed "Round 1". In this round, players must pick their actions strategically to attack and defend as they try to wear each other down and inflict a single, decisive knock out. The winner of this round wins the match.

What makes TBR truly unique is that after the winner has been decided, the rest of the game is given over to a "Prize Round", in which the winner gets to enjoy sex with the loser however they wish. The winner is able to dictate the flow of the action, with the loser drawing from submissive actions that fit the direction of the winner. This prize round is non-competitive, the outcome of the match having already been decided. What is more, the winner can choose to end the match either by forcing an orgasm in the loser or by cumming themselves. Or perhaps the loser may elect to blow their load early.

The mode is very distinct in these two rounds: the first round is all action and no sex but is designed to be fast paced and intense. This round is, by design, perfectly gender symmetrical and equally balanced. Stat-wise, every male move has a corresponding and identical female move, and vice-versa.

A Guide to Stats and Thresholds

The objective is to force a knock-out via a failed cum test. Actions that knock your opponent down trigger this test. Pass the test and the player gets back to their feet. Fail and they are counted out and lose the match.

The success and failure rate of this knock-out test is dictated by the victim's stats, which are raised on each action. The pink gauge can be thought of as a measure of adrenaline. As it fills, your character will lose their cool and become more susceptible to damage. When it is filled, your green gauge fills quicker. This green gauge can be thought of as 'fatigue': a measure of the physical toll the fight has on you. The purple gauge can be thought of as 'dizziness'. Powerful attacks raise this stat and it has a huge influence on the success/failure of a knock-out test.

As in other modes, careful conservation of the blue 'energy' gauge is essential, as it fuels your actions and you will find your options limited if it is depleted. However, in TBR it has an additional significance. If it falls to 5 or below then your character will become fatigued and this will open them up to powerful 'special' moves from your opponent. These specials deal higher rates of damage and fill large amounts of 'dizziness' in the purple gauge.

Something else to watch for is managing your 'Life Points' (red) gauge. Uniquely, in TBR LP management is significant as it unlocks the ability to knock down your opponent and force a KO test. Obviously, a fresh, energetic fighter cannot be knocked out. So a KO test will only become available once your opponent's LP is 80 or lower. Every attack you unleash will reduce your opponent's LP at a rate of double the energy cost of your attack. This means that harder hits will wear your opponent down faster. If you are able to reduce your opponent to 65p LP or less, then you will be able to use powerful 'finisher' moves. These finishers are more powerful than standard knock downs and fill larger quantities of the purple gauge, meaning that they are far more likely to result in a knock out.

Round Breaks and Knock Downs

Just like in real boxing, both players occasionally get the chance to rest and recover. There are actions that trigger a 'round break' in which both fighters return to their corners. When this happens, each player receives the opportunity to greatly restore one stat gauge. Strategy is very important and this decision has a huge impact on the flow of the game.

One failed KO test is all it takes but players should not be shy about trying to take their chances when they occur. Failing to knock out an opponent with a KO test does restore stats to both players (because there is a break in the action while the ref counts). The victim does restore slightly more than the attacker when they get back to their feet but this advantage is not hugely significant. The emphasis of the game design was on trying to get that lucky punch rather than biding time and waiting for a guaranteed knock-out.

The Prize Round

By the time the game advances to the prize round, the winner of the match has already been decided and will not change, no matter what happens next (well... except for a successful rebellion, that is. More on that later, though). The winner controls the action and receives dominant-type actions while the loser goes with the flow and draws only submissive-type actions. These actions flow together cohesively, thanks to a unique scene organisation system. If the winner decides to fuck the loser doggy style, for instance, the loser's actions will be themed around this as they take a pounding. The winner will then also have linked actions, allowing them to keep up the doggy-style sex or switch to a different position as they see fit.

It is important to note that clothing restricts and unlocks these actions strings. You must expose a players genitals before you can play with them, for example. And you must remove both player's bottoms before any intercourse can occur. Both the winner and the loser have stripping options and these are always able to be drawn.

Since the prize round is non-competitive and is being played for role-play purposes, energy is, by design, not a factor. Both players receive full energy refills at the start of the prize round and every action restores it. This means that redraws, although not limitless, can be used relatively freely to allow players to draw actions that fit the flow of the narrative.

Ending the game

The game ends when an 'ending' action is used, usually involving an orgasm. The winner can end the game by forcing the loser to cum but may also choose to cum themselves. Unlike in other modes, this choice does not affect the outcome of the game as, regardless of who cums, the loser's LP is reduced to zero at this point, triggering a game over action. The loser may also elect to end the game if they choose to self-cum and suffer a premature climax. They may only let themselves cum and cannot force an orgasm in the winner. Other ending scenarios are available but orgasm endings are only unlocked once the relevant player's pleasure (green) gauge reaches 90 and their cum overdrive (purple) gauge reaches 10.

Rebellion (acting the brat)

Of course, just because the loser lost, it doesn't mean to say that they have to take their punishment meekly. The prize round is all about control and there are certain actions that can flip that control. These actions are called Rebellion Tests. Simply put, they allow the loser to "be a brat" and defy the winner, subverting their control.

Basically, if a winner is distracted by enjoying themselves too much, the loser may get the chance to subvert their control and take power for themself. For example, if the winner is making the loser give them oral sex, the loser could blow their mind and leave them begging for more, thereby taking control of the situation. Or the winner may be alert enough to put them decisively in their place.

This situation is handled through a special test, using the cum test mechanism familiar in other modes. Not all positions have rebellion tests: it is impossible to rebel if you are being fucked by a strapon, for example. However, if a sexual position pleasures the user, it is likely that a rebellion is possible.

Rebellions are risky and rare opportunities. They cost 20 energy to select, meaning that you cannot redraw to get one (since the redraw energy would nullify the action automatically). If you want to rebel, you must be both patient and lucky. If you succeed, your energy will be fully replenished and your victim will lose all theirs, giving you a period of complete control. If you lose, however, you will have no energy and must wait for it to naturally replenish to 20 before you can rebel again.

The handling of the rebellion is done via a cum test. Simply put, the hornier your victim, the greater the chance that they will be seduced and turned subby by you. Activating a rebellion test when the winner's bars are almost empty will almost certainly result in failure but if they are almost full then they will be easy to corrupt into your power. However, if your cum overdrive gauge reaches 20 then you will be unable to draw a rebellion test at all. You will simply be too horny and desperate to cum to even think about taking control.

If a rebellion test is successful then the game will swap who it considers to be the winner and the loser. This means that the successful brat will be considered the winner and have all the dom control, even though they lost the fighting round. Meanwhile, the fight's winner can wallow in their disgrace, having allowed themself to be dethroned into a sub. The game will also invert the sexual position to fit (e.g. a submissive, forced blowjob will become a dominant one designed to force an orgasm). Of course, the brat will then have the power to change the position and dictate the action at will.

Game customisation

By purchasing action packs with EF coins, you are able to expand and customise your TBR game experience. These packs are designed to be expansions that add additional game elements, not just additional actions. They are fully compatible with each other and usable by your opponent too, meaning both players can benefit from only one having the packs.

Topless boxing

The fight round can be expanded with the inclusion of topless boxing. This adds an alternative fight round in which the female player is topless. There are two packs available: one for MvF play and one for FvF. Due to the size and complexity of the packs, they must be purchased separately.

Going topless only affects the female player. The pack is active for both players, meaning that a female player can go topless even if it is the male player who owns the pack.

The player(s) will not be topless by default: they will start the game fully clothed. They can go topless during the game is several ways:

• By selecting the "Topless match!" or "Go topless" action at the start of the game, if it is drawn.
• Selecting the option to strip during a round break.
• As a forfeit for an early knock out.

If you are knocked out and your pleasure gauge is not at 100, there is a chance that one of the KO actions will be to forfeit your top to fight on. This will deliver you damage to your LP but you will survive the attack and be able to fight on topless. For balance, male players have an equivalent action too: they will argue with the referee that they slipped... but it will only work once.

Once a girl is topless, the fight round continues in the same way... only with it all on show. In FvF games, both girls can be clothed, or topless, or just one. The pack includes combinations of clothes with moves for each scenario, allowing players to enjoy a dynamic and evolving game that fits the situation.

The TBR Custom pack

Another pack is available that lets you change the TBR experience. The Custom Pack is available from the game packs screen and costs just 100 coins.

The pack is usable by both players. So as long as one of the players has it, the game will be able to be modified. In a bot game, the bot cannot select options for you: it will always be the player choice.

If the Custom Pack is active for either player, the following action will appear at the start of the game:

Selecting the game settings action will bring up the following choices:

Selecting the top option will start a fair, balanced fight with no additional rules (the default game).

If you choose to play with a handicap, another option will appear, asking you which player will be handicapped. The affected player will start at 0 energy and 80 LP, meaning that they have a slow, tentative start to the game and are able to be knocked down right from the start. Note that it is entirely possible for the disadvantaged player to still win but it is great for dom/sub games in which the players want an imbalance of power.

Players can also skip the fight round entirely and go straight to the sexy fun by choosing the "Skip to the prize round" action. Another option will appear, asking players to choose who will start with the control (rebellion tests may still happen to invert that power). This is a great option for players who wish to roleplay a designated dom/sub game without having to fight first.

The reverse is also true, of course. With the TBR Custom Pack, you can also skip the prize round if all you want to do is experience the fight.

The above action will be displayed after either player is KO'd. Bots cannot select the action; it can only be played by a human. If played, it will skip straight to a game over, meaning that you can get straight back into the action or save the domination for another time.

Possible strategies to win

LP conservation - Your opponent simply cannot win if you keep your life points high, since they need to drop this to 80 to even trigger a knock-out test. During a fight it is hard to relax but there are actions that restore small amounts of LP. Plus, round breaks contain opportunities to restore huge chunks of life points. Keeping this gauge filled blocks KO tests and protects you from devastating finishers.

Energy management - If you win the energy battle and your opponent drops to 5 energy or less, then you unlock special moves that deal much greater damage. There are many moves that are net-energy-neutral or deplete your opponent's energy more than your own, meaning that you can control their actions while opening them up to these specials. But watch your own energy and make sure you select good restoration moves when you can. Of course, the round break has an option for a large energy recovery too.

All-out assault - Flying in the face of the previous two strategies, a big push on high-damage moves could put your opponent below the thresholds for knock-out tests early. And whilst they scramble to restore the damage you deal, they will be less able to attack your stats.

Prioritise adrenaline - A full pink gauge results in a faster-filling green gauge. Prioritising rattling your opponent first can lead to more damage later when you go on the attack.

Keep your top on - If you have the relevant topless pack in play, your top can act as an extra life! If you suffer an unlucky knock down, there is a chance that the forfeit top or complain you slipped actions will be drawn, enabling you to fight on. These will only work until your pleasure gauge is filled. Keeping your top on until your pleasure is maxed gives you some protection against that lucky punch... but it is not guaranteed.

Be patient and rebel - If you lose then all is not lost! The winner will need to keep control. Avoid redraws in the prize round and you might just be lucky enough to draw a rebellion test and take the victory but subverting the winner. You can only use them with full energy so be patient and take the opportunity if it presents itself.

In conclusion

I sincerely hope that you enjoy this mode and take it in the spirit that it is intended: as one of intense, heart-pumping competition followed by a steamy, fun romp on the canvas. And above all, have fun!
