Very slow Skill that's easily avoidable and hard to combo into. This makes it rarely worth using it in 1v1s. However, it can be pretty decent in FFAs, as Loewe gains 25 SP for every opponent caught in the AoE. This makes Arch Drain the only SP-positive Skill in the entire game, in the right circumstances. | Very slow Skill that's easily avoidable and hard to combo into.

The reason you play Loewe. While it's tied with Agate's Final Break for most expensive Skill in the game, it compensates by being the single most damaging non-EXTRA Skill attack in the game. In fact, it even outdamages some EXTRA Skills. Moreover, its relatively quick startup and great range (despite the animation) makes it Loewe's go-to combo ender. And if that wasn't enough, it can even instantly break the opponent's guard! All of this makes it a must-have in Loewe's arsenal. Just don't abuse it, due to its extreme SP cost (this is Loewe we're talking about) and long recovery. | The reason you play Loewe.

Introduction
Every good fighting game needs at least one boss character. In Ys vs Trails, it's Loewe that takes this role. With pretty inflated stats, he is both the strongest character in the game (in terms of raw strength), but also one of the bulkiest. His attacks, while somewhat slow, packs a punch, and can even sometimes cause status effects that affects his opponents' options. This makes Loewe a force to be reckoned with in neutral, as any mistake can be easily punished hard by him. However, while he seems absolutely overpowered on paper, there's one huge flaw in Loewe's gameplan: he requires almost full SP in order to become a threat. Gainin SP is Loewe's biggest hurdle: while his projectile Charge Attack has good range and is easily spammable in neutral, it only grants 22 SP, the lowest possible amount. This forces him to stay patient and slowly but surely build up SP until he gets enough for his next punish. Said punishes also requires good execution in order to maximize their damage output. Finally, Loewe has the lowest AP stat in the game, making build choices extremely limited for him.
Loewe is recommended for players who loves dealing absurd damage on their punishes.
Similar to:
Loewe is a technical heavyweight with great neutral who can easily whiff punish his opponents for big damage. |

Solo
- A > S6 (1.9k damage)
- Basic poke combo from a ground normal that works at any range. Make sure to start charging [A], as this costs a lot of SP.
- A > S2 jc > j.A > S2 > d.A (whiff) > S6 (2.3k damage)
- Better route from a grounded normal when at close range. Loewe must jump cancel the first S2 as fast as possible.
- d.A(2) > delay j.B > S2 jc > j.AB > S2/S6 (1.4k/2.6k damage)
- BnB punish from a homing dash at close-ish range. Extremely tight in order to make in inescapable. In order to work, Loewe must PM j.A's second hit backwards.
With accessories
- d.A > RA jc > j.AB > d.AB > S6 (2.6k damage)
- Airborne Medallion
- "Easier" route from d.A using Rising Attack.
With assists
- A > S6, [A] > d.ABC > j.S6 (4.1k damage)
- Jurio & Chris
- Simple Jurio combo. Costs a lot of SP but the damage is more than worth it. The last Demon Flames must be cancelled into right after j.C lands. Does 4.2k with d.AB starter.
- A > S6, [A] > EX, [A] > d.AB > j.S6, [A] > d.ABC > j.S6 (~8.6k damage)
