Louis: skills, upgrades and Might

Louis is a UR ranger who plays as tank. Fully upgraded, he reaches 1,044,341 Might, rank 4 of 11 among the game's tanks. Unlocking him takes 10 shards ( Louis Shard), and the shards become available once the Ranger Statue reaches level 20. Louis does not appear in the hero list until server day 63.

Awakening and the Exclusive Weapon follow their own schedules, unrelated to when the hero appears. The awakening tab appears on day 127 of the season: it opens for the fifteen UR heroes one at a time, one every two weeks, with the last tab on day 197. The Exclusive Weapon becomes available on day 22 of the season.

Why he matters

Role: A ranger tank who survives on his own, without support, as Cross Whip heals him for 150% of ATK. The ultimate also hits an area and, from the thirtieth star, lowers incoming damage for the whole squad, while the passive Indomitable Spirit holds another 30% reduction permanently and once per fight leaves him alive at 1 HP. The active Force Link takes energy damage off the three allies with the highest Defense.

Worth investing: Louis ranks fourth of eleven tanks by maximum Might (1,044,341) and sits in tier S, while the squad table gives him seven line-ups out of twelve, including a tier S one with Arthur, Marlena, Daskal and Harper. That puts him behind Arthur and Billy in the investment queue, all the more so as he does not appear in the hero list until server day 63.

Upgrade order

Skill priority: Cross Whip comes first, since it alone brings damage, healing and a damage cut. Indomitable Spirit is next for its permanent 30% reduction and the save from a lethal hit. Force Link follows, and the auto attack Shackles comes last with the support skill: 50 stars give it 747%, while 996% arrives with the Exclusive Weapon.

Progression

Hero levels

The hero has 150 levels, and reaching the last one costs Antitoxin 5,248,471,500. The table shows the stats at reference levels:

Stars

Reaching 50 stars takes 975 shards ( Louis Shard). Besides stats, stars unlock stronger versions of the skills, which makes them matter more than levels:

Skill levels

Every skill goes up to level 40 with Skill Badge: one skill costs 436,700 of them. The higher the level, the more hero stars it requires:

Awakening

40 levels, 2,870 awakening shards in total (Louis Awaken Shard). At max it adds:

• HP +425,119, ATK +12,119, DEF +3,812
• DMG RES +5%

Exclusive Weapon

“Thorn Shackles”, upgraded to 50 stars. At max it adds:

• HP +1,251,000, ATK +8,750, DEF +8,750
• Hero DEF +10%
• Hero HP +10%
• Hero ATK +10%
• Hero Energy DMG Taken +10%
• Hero Physical DMG Taken +10%
• Hero DMG Dealt +10%

How to play

By maximum Might Louis reaches 1,044,341, which is 31,565 below Shadow and 10,602 above Ulfrid. The four leading tanks fall within three percent of one another, so their skills decide between them. Arthur takes 35% of physical damage off the allies in range with Earthshattering, while Cross Whip keeps its 30% on Louis alone until his thirtieth star.

Louis enters the hero list on server day 63, later than Shadow, Daskal and Ulfrid, who arrive on days 7, 28 and 42. Unlocking him costs 10 shards, and the recruit guarantee does not hand them over: in the fourth set it is tied to nine heroes, and Louis is not one of them. His shards come in scattered, so saving for him ahead of his day brings little.

Awakening is the most expensive part of his build: 2,870 shards against the 975 that cover all fifty stars, and its tab opens only on season day 127. The Exclusive Weapon, Thorn Shackles, arrives on season day 22 and adds 1,251,000 HP against the 425,119 that awakening brings.

In the squad ranking Louis holds seven line-ups out of twelve. The best of them, a tier S one with Arthur, Marlena, Daskal and Harper, scores 98 effectiveness at 150.7M survivability, the highest figure in the table.

Squad stats with faction bonus

24.3 M HP216,750 ATK181,241 DEF150.7 M survivability2.7 M damage/s5.0 M power

Synergy

• Faction bonus +15% to HP, ATK and DEF: 4 warriors + 1 ranger.
• Incoming damage reduced by 75% for the squad: Louis 29%, Arthur 32%, Harper 16%. The sum hits the model's 75% cap.
• Shields and healing add 13.4M survivability: Arthur, Daskal.
• Roles: 3 tanks + 1 damage hero + 1 support.

Key skills

• Louis, Force Link (every 5s): −36% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Arthur, Earthshattering (every 7s): −35% damage taken by the squad for 5s
• Arthur, Strong Will (passive): −9% damage taken by tanks
• Daskal, Bloodshed Defense (every 6.4s): 792% DEF shield
• Daskal, Resolute Fight (passive): 22.5% HP shield
• Harper, Vitality Bubble (every 5s): −20% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Marlena, Skybreaker Slash (auto attack): 783% ATK damage
• Louis, Shackles (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Daskal, Battle Will (auto attack): 996% ATK damage

Why this is the best combination available

• Arthur's main contribution: 32% squad damage reduction, 8.4M of shields per fight. The best substitute among your heroes, Billy, does not match it: without Arthur the squad's result drops by 41%.
• Daskal's main contribution: 2.0M of shields per fight, 1.2M of healing per fight. The best substitute among your heroes, Zoya, does not match it: without Daskal the squad's result drops by 11%.
• Harper's main contribution: 16% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Ulfrid, does not match it: without Harper the squad's result drops by 9%.

When to use it

• The same squad is also your best by survivability.
• The best squad on the "Effectiveness" tab differs by the swap Louis, Marlena, Daskal, Harper → Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 2% more effectiveness but loses 0% effectiveness. Trade only when effectiveness is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max damage" tab differs by the swap Louis, Arthur, Marlena, Daskal, Harper → Red Lady, Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 33% more damage per second but loses 67% effectiveness. Trade only when damage per second is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max power" tab differs by the swap Marlena, Harper → Shadow, Ulfrid: it gains 5% more power but loses 30% effectiveness. Trade only when power is what matters. Power is a storefront sum that ignores synergy; it decides less in a real fight.

How this is calculated

Stats are taken at full investment (level and star template, personal growth ratio, awakening and exclusive gear). Over a 30-second fight every skill casts on its cooldown, the first cast at its initial delay. Survivability = (HP + shields + healing) / (1 − damage reduction, capped at 75%). Defense and troops are computed server-side and are outside the model. Index 100 = the best squad built from all heroes in the game.
