Lloyd Irving (ロイド・アーヴィング,Lloyd Irving) is the protagonist ofTales of Symphonia, the fifth game in Namco'sTales series of RPGs.
Origin[edit]
Lloyd Irving serves as the main character fromTales of Symphonia for the GameCube and as a playable protagonist inTales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World for the Wii. He is also a guest character inSoulcalibur Legends for the Wii. Though a simple country boy in many respects, Lloyd is a gifted crafter with considerable knowledge on power-enhancing ExSpheres and Key Crests. He is also a talented swordsman with a preference for dual-wielding, and a capable and idealistic leader. He aids his childhood friend Colette, the Chosen of Regeneration, in her pilgrimage to save their world. He eventually becomes a key figure in a war of balance between two worlds, leading a quest to save them both.
InSuper Smash Bros. 4[edit]
As a costume[edit]
Lloyd is the basis for a paiddownloadable contentcostume forMii Swordfighters. Nintendo also released aQR code for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising.
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a costume[edit]
Lloyd returns as aMii Swordfighter costume in the 10th wave of Mii costumes, alongsideKazuya. While his design is mostly the same, his hair is slightly shorter than it was inSmash 4 and his sword slashes produce orange trails instead of gray. He is also the final third-party Mii costume fromSmash 4 to return inUltimate.

Trivia[edit]
- Although Lloyd Irving is a dual-blade warrior, the Mii Swordfighter continues to fight with only one blade - the other will always remain sheathed. His reveal trailers make reference to this, often depicting the Mii with his costume with an additionalBeam Sword.
- Equipping a Swordfighter withAirborne Assault,Power Thrust andBlurring Blade will be a close approximation to Lloyd's Tempest, Sonic Thrust (Rising Falcon in the air) and Sword Rain moves, respectively - though with the use of only one blade.
- The song used in Lloyd's reveal for bothSSB4 andUltimate is "Like a Glint of Light".
