Analysis

For an archer in theGame Boy Advance games, she is very good. All of her base stats are sufficient at the time you recruit her, with substantial baseskill,speed, andluck. Louise also starts with a baseconstitution of 6, meaning that she will never be weighed down bySilver Bows. This, on top of her excellent basespeed, means that Louise should be able to consistently double attack enemies throughout the game. Additionally, Louise's growth rates are good in every category meaning that she will remain statistically relevant as she levels.

Louise is also unique in that she is recruited with an A support withPent, meaning she will gain a slight advantage when paired with her husband.Pent (who has anice affinity) will provide +1attack, +3defense, +15hit, +7avoid, +7crit, and +7dodge whenever he is within three tiles of Louise. While these bonuses certainly are not game-breaking, they are still beneficial. Coupling Louise withPent is recommended if possible.

Louise has a unique niche in the game in that she has excellentdodge. Between 16 base luck and +7 dodge from her A support, Louise will have 23 dodge whenever she is near Pent. This is high enough that she can baitLuna casters without facing crit, a feat which could otherwise risk death for any other unit as late-game LunaDruids deal over 20 damage which on crit can exceed the playable HP cap. Upon recruitment, Louise is a mere 5 dodge away from being able to fight the Luna Druids inCog of Destiny on Hector Hard mode with no chance of death and fortunately, she will have plenty of time to gain luck and reach that threshold through level ups, more supports, thetactician's bonus, or through the use ofGoddess Icons. Note that she will need a few extra HP to do so, as some druids do have enough magic to one-shot her at base.

Unfortunately, Louise is held back by her poor class. Her lock to bows leaves her without the ability to counter enemies on enemy phase, greatly reducing her usefulness. She also lacks a mount, and her stats are not especially great to compensate for either of these weakpoints.

Louise is a decent unit. While she is far superior toWil andRebecca thanks to not needing investment, she is not as good as other pre-promoted units, such as her husbandPent.

Comparison toRebecca

Louise serves as a pre-promoted alternative toRebecca should the player have decided not to raise her. WhileRebecca should surpass Louise if properly raised, Louise will emerge superior if the player chooses not to commit time and resources towardsRebecca. This is a big factor, asRebecca is very difficult to raise due to her poor base stats and, thanks to her lack of enemy phase, slow experience gain. The sniper class also has few niches while being very restricted thanks to a bow-lock and lack of a mount.

In summary,Rebecca has the potential to exceed Louise if the player chooses to raise her. However, if this is not met then Louise can serve as an adequate alternative.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

There are two different variations of Louise available toHeroes, both based on her storyline appearance inThe Blazing Blade. The normal variation of Louise is one of the characters added to the game in theTreachery update, and became available for summoning by players on April 6, 2021. A bridal variation of Louise was added to the game in theBridal Belonging update, and was made available to players in the fifteenth edition of theTempest Trials+, "The Holy Guard", which initially ran from May 25, 2019 through June 4, 2019. Louise is one of a very few characters to date who had a special variation made available to players before their normal variation in which the normal variation has actually been added to the game, another example beingIngrid.

Personality

Louise is kind and serene. She cares deeply for those around her and believes that loving others is the greatest joy one can experience. While speaking withHawkeye, Louise expresses great concerns over his daughter,Igrene, and urgesHawkeye to find time to visit her knowing that she must be lonely without her father. Louise shows worry for LordAthos because he never eats and still insists that it would be healthier for him even after learning he does not require sustenance to survive.

Despite being a noble, Louise insists on being treated equally by others. She politely explains toHeath that, while he is a knight who is dutybound to protect women and nobles, he should treat her as an equal to everyone else in the army and to address her as "Louise" rather than "milady". When meetingRebecca, Louise graciously introduces herself and tellsRebecca that she does not need to address her with honorifics when speaking.

Louise seems to lack any natural talent at singing, dancing, or playing music. This fact is mentioned both during her recruitment as well as during a conversation withRebecca.

Louise is also quite beautiful – her very help description describes her as a "lethal beauty".Rebecca describes Louise as graceful and elegant while expressing her admiration for her.Sain immediately becomes enamored when first meeting Louise andGuy comments on her gorgeousness during their initial conversation.

Relationships

Louise is devoutly committed to her husband and vice versa. Even when faced with the possibility of becoming renegades, bothPent and Louise believe that being together is more valuable than their ranking as nobles. Both spouses share the same desire to protect one another and are willing to adapt to each others' needs when necessary.

Louise shares a mother-son relationship withErk. Even if Erk is only her husband's apprentice, Louise still treats Erk as though he were her own. After discovering that she will be battling alongside Erk, Louise eagerly suggests speaking withEliwood so that they may be paired together. She excitedly tends to Erk's needs – whether it be furnishing his room or insisting upon buying him new clothes. While Erk's cold demeanor seems to disregard Louise's motherly behaviors, he does eventually confide with Louise that he cares very deeply for both her andPent.

Louise is distantly related to QueenHellene.

Supports

Main article:Louise/Supports

When recruited, Louise automatically has an A-rank support withPent. This cannot be disrupted in any way, ensuring they always have their paired ending together. As a result, Louise's supports with other characters can only go up to B-rank.

Owing to their status as being already paired together, Louise and Pent do not follow the ordinary support conversation rules, but rather have unique equivalent conversations which occur in specific chapters: their C-rank conversation happens inChapter 27E/29H, their B-rank inChapter 30E/32H, and their A-rank in the second part ofthe Final Chapter. The second conversation will not occur if the first did not, and the third will not occur if one of the other two did not.

Endings

Louise is well known for her radiant smile and her kind-hearted nature, and I'm sure more than a few people would see her as the perfect blushing bride. Well, here she is in her wedding dress!	This might be a good time to point out that she's already married, though. Her husband is none other than Pent, Count Reglay of Etruria, and they're so lovey-dovey that nothing can separate them!	I wish I could have been there for the wedding. With her golden locks and pristine dress, she looks like a goddess come down from the heavens!	Together, Louise and Pent made a warm, loving home where they raised some wonderful children. They're almost too perfect!

To some, she's almost like a goddess. She's also a very talented archer, by the way. In my opinion, she might be one of the best around!	When Pent and Louise first met, Louise promised that she'd defend him with her bow. Pent was so taken by her earnestness that he immediately fell in love.	Ever since then, Louise and Pent have been a pair of little lovebirds. I'm sure a perfect future awaits the inseparable couple!

The young Igrene must have remembered how skilled Louise was with a bow. Although this time, Louise is carrying a dagger, preferring to support the grown-up Igrene.	Igrene seems so moved to be able to finally fight side by side with Louise. I bet they've got so much to talk about together!
