Guide
Build
First, I'm going to show you the best build for Lou in solo showdown. The gadget you want to use is your preference, (though I like the 2nd one more) as both gadgets are really strong in solo showdown, which I'm going to write about in the gadget section later. The star power that you want to use is Hypothermia, the 2nd one. You definitely want to use hypothermia, because defence is a very important (the most important, actually) aspect in solo showdown. Now, for the gears, you definitely want to use the super charge gadget, as Lou needs his super to do anything in solo showdown, or else you'd just get killed by a tank or an assassin. For the other gear slot, you could possibly put in gadget, shield or damage, but I've decided to put vision here because you need to farm your super off the bush campers that only run around in bushes (to not die and charge your super), and Lou's super area control works really well with the vision gear. Also, definitely get the hypercharge, it's one of the strongest in the game!Gadget
As I've explained before, Lou's gadget choice is really just a preference. Because solo showdown is full of jump scares, you might want to use the first gadget, which basically makes you completely invincible for a second, making the opponent losing all their ammo. (Some beneficial moments are: after you get jumped on by a kit, use your gadget and make the kit lose all the ammo, freeze him and kill him) Though this is a really strong combination, it is really risky, as the opponent can be smart and charge up their ammo, which is a big negative for Lou. Though, the second gadget is better in my opinion, as you can almost get a kill anytime you want if the opponent is in your super, and you can choose whenevery you want to almost stun the enemy, almost always ending up in free power cubes. Just make sure you don't let your guard down, as who you're fighting against in solo showdown usually are tanks or assassins. Like I've yapped the last few words, both gadgets have the same cooldown time, and it really is your choice of which gadget you pick, it's just that the second one almost grants a kill if it works properly, so thats why I like it. Though, because of all the jumpscares in solo showdown, the first gadget it great too.Star power
This one, I would definitely prefer Hypothermia (Lou's attacks decreases the opponent's damage up to 50%), as it gives you a tremendous advantage while fighting 1v1s, which greatly helps you get early game cubes. Also, Lou's ice meter thingy stays a lot, which also means that you can decrease the opponent's damage output for a long chunk of time, also letting you take advantage over the opponent. This star power also makes great use of the super, because it means super = stun, slowdown and less damage. From these reasons, the benefits of this star power heavily outweighs the benefits of the other star power, which only increases the freezing rate of the super by a 1/3.Hypercharge
I think you guys all know about this, Lou's hypercharge is one of the strongest in the game, and it has good stat buffs. Though, the biggest, most broken part is that it instantly stuns the enemy for 1.5 seconds, which is usually enough for a super loop. This hypercharge is also great because it has a big radius and is a free kill and super loop if you hit it (it's easy to hit because of the radius!). Though, just a reminder, Lou's hypercharge got a medium hypercharge charge rate nerf, so you might wanna be playing a bit more carefully mid game, as you cant go as aggressive when you have your hypercharge.Sorry that I could only write the build guide, but if you have OK aim you can get a kill with your super, so please, please try using him in solo showdown! Tysm for reading until the end!
Have a great day!
