Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Bridal Louise will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

The best IVs for Louise are +Spd and -Def. A higher Spd stat allows Louise to get a ton of follow-up attacks on her foes. It also protects her from hostile follow-up attacks. Her Def is of less importance and thus safe to be taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Louise to 10. This is for the same reasons as above. With this IV, she can reach 41 Spd which is at a range wherein she can score lots of follow-up attacks if she has ample support from allies.

Follow-up attacks also speeds-up Louise's special activation so make sure to inherit an offensive special onto her.

Bridal Louise Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Bridal Louise Roles

Louise - Eternal Devotion Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Louise is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Bridal Louise Strengths

Easy to trigger Atk/Spd buffs

Bridal Louise's Boquet Bow+ grants her +4 Atk/Spd when initiating combat. On the other hand, Atk/Spd Bond 3 grants her +5 Atk/Spd during combat if she is adjacent to an ally. This means that she has easy access to a +9 Atk/Spd boost in the player phase! Be mindful of her positioning as to activate Atk/Spd Bond 3 to deal as much damage as possible!

Hone Cavalry Strengthens Cavalry-based Teams

Hone Cavalry is a great skill that Bridal Louise learns at 4 stars. It grants adjacent cavalry allies +6 Atk/Spd. This skill makes Louise a good unit to build strong cavalry units around. This skill is especially useful in big maps such as Rival Domains or in competitive game modes like the Arena where every stat boost matters.

Bridal Louise Weaknesses

Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons

Bridal Louise takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane, and one blow from this type of weapon is sure to take her down. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Bridal Louise Team and Counters

Bridal Teammates for Louise

Reinhardt	Legendary Tiki (Young)	Selkie	Kaden
Legendary Hector	Brave Lyn	Veronica	Fallen Tiki (Young)

Characters with Cavalry Buffs and Dance/Sing Skills

Since Bridal Louise is a cavalry unit, she benefits from skills like Goad Cavalry. In fact, Bridal Louise has access to Hone Cavalry who will buff her allies with offensive stats similar to Goad Cavalry. This makes Bridal Louise a great unit to have in cavalry emblem teams. Some good units to team-up with Bridal Louise are Reinhardt for covering foes that are weak against magic, Brave Lyn a back-up bow unit and Veronica, arguably one of the best cavalry support units in the game.

Tanky characters that can absorb hits for Bridal Louise

Bridal Louise is pretty frail so leaving her in the frontlines is not a good idea if you want to keep her online. Having a tanky unit like Legendary Tiki (Young) or Brave Hector absorbing attention in the enemy phase would be a great idea for Bridal Louise. If enemies are too deep for Bridal Louise to snipe them out, these tanky units can also bait them out into Bridal Louise's range!

Bridal Louise Counters

Sophia	Idunn	Robin (M)	Legendary Tiki (Young)
Naga	Cecilia	Myrrh	Fallen Tiki (Young)

Heroes with adaptive damage and Raven tomes

Aside from heroes carrying cavalry-effective weapons, Louise should look out for heroes that carry adaptive damage and Raven tomes. Adaptive damage is pretty common on dragonstone users and almost all of them are fairly powerful units so keep an eye out for them! Raven tomes on the other hand cripple Louise. Watch out for Cecilia as her Tome of Order is basically an upgraded version of a Gronnraven+!
