Louis in Last Asylum: Plague
Louis is a UR Ranger Tank, and 2 of 2 ranking lists place him at A+. He heals himself, takes less damage from every source and passes some of that protection to his allies, so he can hold the front row without a Support. His name is sometimes typed as Luis, but it is the same hero. Louis unlocks once the server is 62 days old, number 5 of the 6 UR Tanks to arrive, which makes him the second line behind Arthur.
Louis Stats
A UR hero from the Ranger faction, Louis fills the tank role. Louis begins at level 1 with 7,005 HP, 41 DEF and 33 ATK, plus 52 Command (CMD), the troops the hero leads. Maxing out means level 150 and all 50 star steps (10 full stars), which gives 2,929,555 HP, 16,770 DEF and 13,256 ATK, with CMD at 350. By these numbers Louis sits 4th for HP, 2nd for DEF and 18th for ATK among 31 heroes. DEF is the best of the three, inside the top five of 31.
Only level and star upgrades are counted in the table. Base buildings, Ravens, gear, awakening and the exclusive weapon come on top in battle, which lifts the full build to 1,044,341 power. Full-build power puts Louis 4th among 31 heroes, inside the top five. Level 150 on its own, before any star, gives 2,278,628 HP, 13,045 DEF and 10,311 ATK. 10 shards unlock Louis, and the 50 star steps cost 975 shards more. Each UR Hero Omni Shard is worth 1 hero shard. Once a hero has full stars, it can enter the Hall of Honor; the honor level goes up to 600 there.

Louis Skills

At star 10 the cut also covers the nearest ally, at star 30 it covers every ally, and at star 50 the hit gains 60% and reaches 1,368% ATK. Force Link recharges every 5 seconds and shields the two allies with the highest DEF from Energy DMG; with all stars it reaches 30% and gains a third target at star 45. Indomitable Spirit lowers all damage taken by 15.38% to 30%. Shackles, the auto attack, climbs from 87.15% to 747% ATK with stars and to 996% with the weapon.
Skill Priority
Where a guide gives an order for Louis, the top skill comes first and the passive second. The list follows that order.
- Cross Whip. It heals him, cuts damage and shares the cut with the squad. Stars 10, 30 and 50 widen the cut and raise the hit, so this is where the first badges go.
- Indomitable Spirit. It is always on, and it keeps Louis alive through one fatal hit per battle. Stars 20, 45 and 50 each add a second to the undying state.
- Force Link. It matters most against Energy DMG. The cut deepens at stars 15, 35 and 45, and a third ally joins it.
- Shackles. A Tank deals little damage, so the auto attack waits until the weapon is built. Tenacity sits outside the badge system.
For the badge cost of each skill level, see the upgrade guide. The video below covers hero levels, stars and skill levels in general. It is not about Louis alone, but the same steps apply to him.
Gear and Awakening
Louis is one of three heroes whose exclusive weapon, Thorn Shackles, also improves skills: 4 of his skills get a boost, listed by weapon star below.
| Weapon star | Skill | Boost |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | Shackles | Extra damage increases to 300%. |
| 50 | Cross Whip | Damage reduction increases by 5% |
| 40 | Force Link | Target +1 |
| 30 | Indomitable Spirit | Duration +1s |
Awakening is a separate track that leaves his skills unchanged. The table prices both tracks and shows the weapon stats at the top, and for a Tank the HP is the point. The awakening bonuses will appear when his window opens in Era of Revival. Where Awaken Shards come from is covered on the awakening page, and the gear page handles ordinary upgrades.
| Track | Thorn Shackles | Awakening |
|---|---|---|
| To start | 30 weapon shards | 50 Awaken Shards |
| Top of the track | Star 50, 975 more shards | Level 40, 2,870 Awaken Shards in total |
| HP | 1,251,000 | Not open yet |
| ATK | 8,750 | Not open yet |
| DEF | 8,750 | Not open yet |
| Skill changes | 4 skills get a boost | None |
How to Get Louis
Louis appears once the server is 62 days old, and he unlocks with 10 Louis Shards. Among the 15 UR heroes only Bell, Billy and Nicole unlock after him, so many accounts reach him with a finished core. Shard sources, tickets and pity are explained on the heroes list.
Louis is the fourth strongest of the six UR Tanks by full-build power, with 1,044,341. Shadow unlocks 56 days earlier and is the strongest of the six. Rangers also take 20 percent less damage from Warriors, so Louis is a natural front row against a Warrior squad, while Warlocks hold the same 20 percent edge over Rangers.
Best Team for Louis
Louis takes a front slot beside a second Tank, and Shadow is a natural partner because the two cut Physical and Energy DMG from the same faction. The rows mix ranking advice with the faction bonus steps.
| Squad | Heroes | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Ranger squad | Shadow, Louis, Bell, Red Lady, Cynthia | The full 20 percent faction bonus |
| Warrior core with Louis | Arthur, Louis, Marlena, Daskal, Harper | A third Tank and a 15 percent bonus from four Warriors |
| Hybrid finisher | Arthur, Louis, Marlena, Jester, Red Lady | Accounts that already built these heroes and want to finish low-HP targets |
The Ranger squad is the cleanest fit, but it needs Bell, who unlocks 7 days after Louis. The Warrior core uses heroes that every account builds first, so it is the easier route while you wait. For other squads, open the best team page, and check partners on the tier list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Louis in Last Asylum Plague?
Louis is a UR Ranger Tank who reaches 1,044,341 power at full build. He heals himself with Cross Whip, cuts the damage he takes and holds the front row. The tier list puts him at A+, so he is a strong second Tank behind Arthur rather than a first pick.
Is it Louis or Luis?
The hero is Louis. Players sometimes type Luis, and a few guides use that spelling, but the game uses Louis and so does this page. If you searched for Luis, you are in the right place: the skills, the Thorn Shackles weapon and the squads below all belong to the same Ranger Tank.
Is Louis a new hero?
Louis is a late unlock, not a starting hero. He becomes available once the server is 62 days old, after Daskal, Ulfrid and Zoya. Only Bell, Billy and Nicole unlock later among the UR heroes. This page does not date his release, so plan around the unlock day.
Which Louis skill should I level first?
Level Cross Whip first, then Indomitable Spirit, then Force Link. Cross Whip heals Louis, cuts damage for the whole squad from star 30 and recharges every 7 seconds. Shackles and the support skill come last, because the auto attack only jumps when the Thorn Shackles weapon reaches star 20.
Is Louis worth building?
Yes, if you run a Ranger squad or need a second Tank. Louis sits at A+ on the tier list and pairs with Shadow in a Ranger squad. Build Arthur and Marlena first, since both are available from day one, and bring Louis in when his unlock day arrives and you have shards to spare.
