“ | Despite what you may think, I shoot much better than I dance or sing. I believe I can be of some small assistance. | ” | — Louise, to Eliwood and Hector |
---|
Louise (Japanese: ルイーズ Luise) is a Sniper from Etruria, and the wife of Pent, Marquess Reglay. Alongside her husband, she joins the army of Eliwood and Hector in the battle against Nergal and the Black Fang.
Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
Role
While she never appears in person, Louise is mentioned in passing in several of Klein, Clarine and Dieck's support conversations.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Role
Louise is a playable character, joining alongside her husband Pent in Chapter 24E/26H. If Louise is defeated at any time, Pent will also leave the party, and vice versa.
Starting stats and growth rates

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
For an archer in the Game Boy Advance games, she is very good. All of her base stats are sufficient at the time you recruit her, with substantial base skill, speed, and luck. Louise also starts with a base constitution of 6, meaning that she will never be weighed down by Silver Bows. This, on top of her excellent base speed, 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 with Pent, meaning she will gain a slight advantage when paired with her husband. Pent (who has an ice affinity) will provide +1 attack, +3 defense, +15 hit, +7 avoid, +7 crit, and +7 dodge whenever he is within three tiles of Louise. While these bonuses certainly are not game-breaking, they are still beneficial. Coupling Louise with Pent is recommended if possible.
Louise has a unique niche in the game in that she has excellent dodge. 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 bait Luna casters without facing crit, a feat which could otherwise risk death for any other unit as late-game Luna Druids 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 in Cog 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, the tactician's bonus, or through the use of Goddess 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 to Wil and Rebecca thanks to not needing investment, she is not as good as other pre-promoted units, such as her husband Pent.
Comparison to Rebecca
Louise serves as a pre-promoted alternative to Rebecca should the player have decided not to raise her. While Rebecca should surpass Louise if properly raised, Louise will emerge superior if the player chooses not to commit time and resources towards Rebecca. This is a big factor, as Rebecca 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 to Heroes, both based on her storyline appearance in The Blazing Blade. The normal variation of Louise is one of the characters added to the game in the Treachery update, and became available for summoning by players on April 6, 2021. A bridal variation of Louise was added to the game in the Bridal Belonging update, and was made available to players in the fifteenth edition of the Tempest 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 being Ingrid.
Louise: Lady of Violets
Starting stats
- Louise: Lady of Violets is only available at 5★ rarity.

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 with Hawkeye, Louise expresses great concerns over his daughter, Igrene, and urges Hawkeye to find time to visit her knowing that she must be lonely without her father. Louise shows worry for Lord Athos 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 to Heath 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 meeting Rebecca, Louise graciously introduces herself and tells Rebecca 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 with Rebecca.
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 and Guy 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, both Pent 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 with Erk. 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 with Eliwood 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 and Pent.
Louise is distantly related to Queen Hellene.
Supports
- Main article:
Louise/Supports
When recruited, Louise automatically has an A-rank support with Pent. 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 in Chapter 27E/29H, their B-rank in Chapter 30E/32H, and their A-rank in the second part of the 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, Lady of Violets and Pent, Mage General
When Athos died, Pent took over his research. To focus on his studies, Pent resigned as mage general of Etruria. This action set the palace in an uproar, but Pent and Louise endured.
