| Color / Weapon Type / Move Type | |
|---|---|
| Rarity | |
| What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Bulky demote unit with a min-maxed stat spread. ・Bow of Love+ grants a Lull effect and Special acceleration to Louis and nearby allies at the start of each phase, and grants Louis bonus stats, true damage, and true damage reduction during combat. |
Valentine's Louis Skills at 5★
|
Might: 12 Range: 2 Effective against flying foes. At start of player phase or enemy phase, grants Atk/Def+6, "neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat," and "Special cooldown charge +1 per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack)" to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. Grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, unit deals +20 damage (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 10 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
Cooldown Count = 4 Boosts damage dealt by 80% of unit’s Def. |
|
If foe initiates combat or if unit's HP ≥ 25% at start of combat, inflicts Atk-5 on foe, deals +X damage (X = 20% of unit's Def; excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's attacks by X (excluding area-of-effect Specials), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and neutralizes penalties on unit during combat. |
|
If a foe uses bow, dagger, magic, or staff and initiates combat against an ally with 2 spaces of unit, triggers【Savior】on unit. If unit triggers Savior, grants Def/Res+4 during combat. 【Savior】 Unit takes ally’s space, enters combat in ally’s place, and receives all after-combat effects. Doesn't trigger if ally is on terrain that unit can't move to or if multiple units are able to use Savior during the same combat. If Savior triggers, after-combat movement effects don't occur. |

◯ = 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.
+Def / -Spd
The best IVs for Valentine's Louis are +Def and -Spd. As a hero with no exclusive skills, Louis needs to maximize his stat spread to be competitive in the current metagame. Boosting his high base 49 Def to 53 with a superboon allows him to withstand more physical attacks and have him fulfill his role as a physical tank better.
Louis's Spd is a clear dump stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of his matchups.

Valentine's Louis Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Valentine's Louis Roles
Valentine's Louis is a ranged physical attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.
Valentine's Louis Strengths
| Attention! |
This page is still under construction and will be completed shortly. |
|---|
Valentine's Louis Weaknesses
Low Spd
Valentine's Louis's base 16 Spd is abysmal and he will suffer follow-up attacks against the majority of the other heroes in the game.
He will be reliant on his high HP, Def, and Res stats to withstand damage. Ensure he isn't attacked frequently to keep him healthy!
Lack of Unique Skills
Valentine's Louis suffers from not having any unique skills to call his own, making him unable to stand out amongst other units.
Ranged armored units are quite abundant in the game, and lacking an exclusive skill makes Valentine's Louis replaceable by better units.
Weak to Armor Effective Weapons
X takes 1.5x damage from armor-effective weapons like Randgríðr, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!
Should you Unlock Potential?
| Should You Unlock Potential for this Hero? |
|
|---|
We Recommend You Unlock Potential for Louis - Petal Knight!
We recommend that you use Unlock Potential to bring Louis - Petal Knight from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Louis - Petal Knight is a very useful bulky armored bow, so we recommend you Unlock Potential for Louis - Petal Knight if your team lacks a strong bulky armored bow.
