Louis Best Emblem

Recommended Emblems

Marth	Sigurd	Leif	Ike

Capitalizing Louis' high HP and Def stat growth, consider pairing him with Emblems like Marth, Leif, or Ike in order for Louis to take down foes with ease while taking little to no damage in battle.

Alternatively, players can pair Louis with Sigurd in order to make him a highly mobile tank unit that can travel and decimate enemies from both ends of the map.

Louis Paired Ending and Romance

Pact Ring with Louis

After clearing Chapter 22, players unlock The Connector Paralogue and can subsequently unlock the Pact Ring. This essentially acts as Fire Emblem Engage's S-Rank Support and romance route.

Alear can then give the ring to Louis once they have attained an A-Rank in support to view a special cutscene, and unlock a page in the reference about the life they lived together.

Louis' Memento

A ring from Louis that came to me from his family. I still remember how nervous he was the day we exchanged rings.

Apart from obtaining an exclusive ending with Louis after giving the Pact Ring, players can also head to Alear's room and check the small table next to their bed to find a memento from him.

While the memento serves no purpose in combat whatsoever unlike the Merc Whistle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it further contextualizes the paired ending selected by the player.
