Among Lou players, Hypothermia leads the star power slot at 51.0%. It takes effect when the Super goes off, so how often you charge that Super decides how much the pick is worth. The other option, Supercool, sits at 49.0%. The most common gadget is Ice Block at 52.0%. You fire it yourself and can keep using it all match, waiting out the cooldown each time, so players pick the effect they want on hand most often. The other option, Cryo Syrup, sits at 48.0%. On gear, Lou players favor SHIELD (28.7%), with DAMAGE (28.2%) close behind. Gears offer a smaller boost than a star power or gadget, so this is the fine-tuning slot of the build.

About Lou

Lou is a robot snow cone salesman who's yet to make his first sale. Being located on a snowy mountain peak might have something to do with that.

Most players build Lou around Hypothermia and Ice Block, picked in 51.0% and 52.0% of games respectively. Lou grades out at C-tier this season, peaking in Brawl Ball (61.6% win rate). Lou holds the #81 spot among 106 ranked brawlers in the current meta. Lou is classed as a Controller, so its kit generally leans into that role's usual strengths rather than flexing into others. The matchup spread runs from 58.3% against Shelly down to 32.1% into Wendy. Wendy is the strongest recorded pairing. Beyond its best matchup, Lou holds up against Surge (57.0%) and Brock (56.1%) too. Nori is a solid secondary pairing for Lou too, at 64.0% together. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Lou players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. Lou is unusually mode-dependent, the gap between its best and worst modes is over 16.1%, so where you play it matters more than usual. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Hypothermia (51.0%) and Supercool (49.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Lou is a rare sight at 0.4% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind.
