Louise - Lady of Violets: Basic Information

Color / Weapon Type / Move Type
Rarity
What Kind of Character Are They? ・Refined Noble Bow inflicts stat penalties, neutralizes foe's bonuses, and applies a 【Deep Wounds】 effect on foes within 3Rx3C centered on Louise, grants Louise Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonuses, 7 true damage reduction on her foe's first attack, true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, a Preempt Pulse effect, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

Louise Skills at 5★


Might: 14  Range: 2
Effective against flying foes.
For foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 and neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat, and those foes cannot recover HP during or after combat. (When an effect such as 【Feud】is triggered for allies, excluding unit, that effect will also neutralize this skill's "cannot recover HP after combat" effect on their foes.)
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 10% of unit's Spd at start of combat and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).

Range: 1
Grants Def/Res+6 to target ally for 1 turn.

At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% or if 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% and 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants an additional Atk/Spd+2 to unit during combat.

At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to an ally, grants Atk/Spd+5 for 1 turn.

Louise Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (21) No Attack IV ★★★★★
Spd (9) Spd Bane ★★★★☆
Def (3) Def Bane ★★☆☆☆
Res (10) No Res IV ★★★☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units 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.

+Spd/-Def

The best IVs for Louise are +Spd and -Res. Louise's Spd is quite high at base 42, and boosting it helps prevent her foe's follow-up attacks against her. She won't be able to outspeed the fastest metagame foes without investment, but she can hold her own.

Louise's Def is her least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Spd IV when merging Louise to +10 to maximize her high Spd stat and prevent her foes from generating follow-up attacks against her.

Louise Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Louise's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
SP: 400
Might: 14 Range: 2 HP:
Effective against flying foes.
For foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5 and neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat, and those foes cannot recover HP during or after combat. (When an effect such as 【Feud】 is triggered for allies, excluding unit, that effect will also neutralize this skill's "cannot recover HP after combat" effect on their foes.)
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = 10% of unit's Spd at start of combat and reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1).
If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, deals damage = 20% of unit's Spd (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat, and restores 7 HP to unit after combat.
Arena Medal:500 Divine Dew:200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Noble Bow

Refined Noble Bow inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5, neutralizes foe's bonuses, and applies a 【Deep Wounds】 effect on foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Louise.

In combat, refined Noble Bow also grants Louise Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, an extra Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonus equal to 10% of her Spd, 7 true damage reduction on her foe's first attack, true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, a Preempt Pulse effect, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

The 【Deep Wounds】 effect is the most important effect of Noble Bow, but the refine is still worth using due to the bonus true damage and the Preempt Pulse effect greatly aiding Louise's damage output.

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.

Louise Strengths

Refined Noble Bow applies 【Deep Wounds】 from a distance

Refined Noble Bow inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-5, neutralizes foe's bonuses, and applies a 【Deep Wounds】 effect on foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Louise.

This long distance 【Deep Wounds】 effect prevents foes from recovering HP during or after combat, even when Louise herself isn't in combat! Tank units rely on their supports to provide healing, most often from skills like Breath of Life 4, and Louise can neutralize that from across the map.

In combat, refined Noble Bow also grants Louise Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, an extra Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonus equal to 10% of her Spd, 7 true damage reduction on her foe's first attack, true damage equal to 20% of her Spd, a Preempt Pulse effect, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

The 【Deep Wounds】 effect is the most important effect of Noble Bow, but the refine is still worth using due to the bonus true damage and the Preempt Pulse effect greatly aiding Louise's damage output.

Louise Weaknesses

Low Def Makes Her Fragile

Louise has low Def, which makes her vulnerable against units that deal physical damage.

Make sure you watch out where Louise is positioned after she's done attacking, or use a dancer to make her retreat to safety!
