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.

+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Louise are +Atk and -Res. Her Spd stat together with her Spd buffs and Rein Bow+, is already very high, so it is best that you take a +Atk IV instead to maximize the damage she deals. Take a bane in Res as she an afford it. Taking a bane in Def is not recommended as it is already abysmally low, and it is a superbane for her.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Louise to 10. With +10 merges, Louise's Atk stat will reach 56. This is for the same reasons as above. At this point, she is very lethal when she lands a follow-up attack especially against flying foes.

Louise Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Louise Roles

Louise - Lady of Violets 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.

Louise Strengths

Can Debuff Enemy Units Through Rein Bow+

Louise's weapon inflicts Spd/Def-5 on enemy units within 2 spaces during combat. This allows her more opportunities to double and one-shot her foes.

Louise's allies will also be able to take advantage of this buff as long as Louise is in range of their opponent.

Increased Firepower Due to the Effects of Atk/Spd Ideal and Atk/Spd Oath

Atk/Spd Ideal 4 gives Louise Atk/Spd+7 if her HP is 100% or if she has a bonus on her (with an additional Atk/Spd+2 if both conditions are met).

This will be a total of +9 Atk/Spd.

Paired with her Atk/Spd Oath 3, she's guaranteed to have a bonus active on her as long as she's adjacent to an ally.

This increases her overall firepower and, as mentioned above, allows her more opportunities to double and one-shot her foes.

Take note that Oath skills require her to be adjacent to an ally at TURN START.

Louise Weaknesses

Lack of Prf Means Low Scoring in Arena

Louise's weapon is sadly not a Prf weapon like her husband Pent, so she will be scoring relatively lower in the Arena.

Dependent on Sustain

Atk/Spd Ideal 4 is strong, but it is dependent on Louise having 100% HP. Please make sure that Louise has acesss to a convenient healing mechanic that will keep her healthy when tackling harder maps.

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!
