Lowen - Apprentice Knight: Basic Information
| Color / Weapon Type / Move Type | |
|---|---|
| Rarity | |
| What Kind of Character Are They? | ・Apprentice Lance grants Lowen Canto, bonus true damage, true DR, a guaranteed follow-up attack, and a Preempt Pulse effect, and grants Lowen and allies within 3Rx3C bonus stats, bonus true damage, post-combat healing, and neutralizes their stat penalties. |
Lowen Skills at 5★
|
Might: 16 Range: 1 Enables 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】. Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). For unit and allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+X (for unit, X = 15; for allies, X = 5), neutralizes penalties, and deals +Y damage during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials; for unit, Y = 25; for allies, Y = 10), and restores 7 HP after combat. Reduces damage from foe's attacks by 15 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's Specials by an additional 15 (excluding area-of-effect Specials), unit makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat. |
|
Cooldown Count = 4 Boosts damage by 70% of unit's Def when Special triggers. If unit's or foe's Special is ready, or unit's or foe's Special triggered before or during this combat, and also, if unit's Def ≥ foe's Def-10, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 40% (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
If unit or foe initiates combat after moving to a different space, grants Atk/Def+6 and Atk/Def+X to unit during combat (X = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat; max 4), and also, if unit initiates combat, reduces damage from foe's attacks by X x 3 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). If foe's attack triggers foe's Special, reduces damage dealt to unit by X x 3 during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
|
At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Def+6 and “neutralizes foe’s bonuses during combat” to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. Grants bonus to unit's Atk/Def = number of allies on the map with the "neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat" status effect active + 2 (excluding unit; max 5) and deals damage = number of spaces from start position to end position of whoever initiated combat × 2 during combat (max 8; excluding area-of-effect Specials). |
Lowen Best IVs
Recommended IVs
| Stat | Superboon/Superbane | IV Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| HP (20) |
|
★★★★☆ |
| Atk (12) |
|
★★★★★ |
| Spd (8) |
|
★★★☆☆ |
| Def (10) |
|
★★★★★ |
| Res (4) |
|
★☆☆☆☆ |
◯ = 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.
+Atk / -Res
The best IVs for Lowen are +Atk and -Res. Due to Lowen's mediocre base 38 Spd, he will need to rely on his Atk stat to deal relevant damage in combat.
While his Def is very high at base 49, Cavalry units are not suited to playing tank roles. Leave the tanking duties to the Infantry and Armored units.
Lowen's Res is a clear dump stat and can be safely taken as a bane as it won't impact any of his matchups.

How to Use, Explanation

Lowen Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses
Lowen Roles
Lowen is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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.
Lowen Strengths
Apprentice Lance grants all of offense, defense, mobility, and support
| Condition(s) | Effect |
|---|---|
| Always | ・Accelerated Special trigger ・Enables 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】 |
| For Lowen and allies within 3 rows and 3 columns | ・Grants bonus Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat (+15 for Lowen, +5 for allies) ・Grants bonus true damage during combat (+25 for Lowen, +10 for allies) ・Neutralizes stat penalties during combat |
・Grants +7 HP post-combat healing
| In combat, grants Lowen | ・+15 bonus true damage reduction ・+15 bonus true damage reduction from foe's Specials ・A guaranteed follow-up attack ・Special cooldown count -1 before Lowen's first attack |
Apprentice Lance grants all the common modern-day weapon effects like bonus stats, true damage, true damage reduction, and Special manipulation. What differentiates it from other weapons is the 3Rx3C support it provides, granting allies extra bonus stats and true damage.
While it is not a gamebreaking weapon, it comes complete with everything Lowen needs to be competitive.
Lowen Weaknesses
Weak to Cavalry Effective Weapons
Lowen takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, 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!

Lowen as a Source Hero
| Value of Skills | ★★★★☆ |
|---|
Lowen has Flame Wall, Atk/Def Excel, and A/D Outcry Dull as inheritable options.
We heavily recommend inheriting the prerequisite skills first before using Lowen as inheritance fodder in order to acquire multiple rare skills at once.
