Who is Lelouch in Universal Tower Defense?

Lelouch vi Britannia, inspired by the iconic protagonist from Code Geass, is one of the most valuable secret units in Universal Tower Defense. Unlike most characters that you can obtain through gacha summons or banner pulls, Lelouch is exclusively available through completing the Power of Kings questline.

What makes Lelouch special is his unique role as a support unit. He doesn’t deal direct damage but instead controls the battlefield through powerful commands that can turn the tide of battle in your favor. His abilities make him particularly valuable for mid-to-late game players who need strategic advantages in difficult stages.

Prerequisites to Unlock Lelouch

Before you can embark on the Power of Kings quest, you need to meet several important requirements:

Level Requirements

Minimum Level: 30 – This is non-negotiable and the game will not allow you to start the quest until you reach this level
Complete Introduction Quest – Some players report that finishing the initial tutorial quests is necessary
Access to Story Mode and Infinite Mode – You’ll need both game modes unlocked for various quest steps

Preparation Tips

Reaching level 30 can take some time, but here are the fastest methods I’ve found:

Nightmare Difficulty Grinding – The most efficient way to gain XP quickly
Hard Difficulty Alternative – If Nightmare is too challenging, stick to Hard mode
Focus on Challenging Stages – Complete stages in Story Mode, Virtual Realm, or Challenges that you can clear consistently
Equip Your Best Units – Use your strongest characters to tackle the highest difficulty stages you can handle

Pro Tip: Maintain a constant flow of XP by always having an active stage running. Even if you’re AFK, you’ll continue gaining experience and progress toward level 30.

Starting the Power of Kings Quest

Once you’ve reached level 30, it’s time to begin the Power of Kings questline. Here’s exactly what you need to do:

Finding the Mysterious Witch NPC

The Mysterious Witch is actually C.C. from Code Geass – a nice touch considering Lelouch’s origin! Here’s how to find her:

Location: She can be found sitting on a wall near the summoning area in the hub world
Identification: Look for a red glowing sign or aura above her head – this makes her stand out from other NPCs
Interaction: Press E to interact with her and begin the quest

The quest will officially be titled “Power of Kings!” in your quest log, referencing Lelouch’s signature Geass ability from the anime series.

Quest Overview

The Power of Kings quest consists of several major phases:

Locate the Distressed Subject – Find an NPC with a red aura
Complete the Chess Challenge – Win a chess match on a specific map
Conquer Endurance Trials – Complete four numerical challenges
Claim Your Reward – Receive Lelouch as a permanent unit

Step 1: Finding the Distressed Subject

After speaking with the Mysterious Witch, she’ll direct you to find a “distressed subject” in the lobby who is “talking nonsense.” This NPC is randomized per player but will always have a bright red aura or symbol above their head.

Possible Distressed NPCs

Based on my research and player reports, the distressed subject can be one of these characters:

Character	Anime Series	Map Location
Naruto	Naruto	Ninja Forest
Luffy	One Piece	Marine Base
Gen (Gin Ichimaru)	Bleach	Hollowed Moon

How to Identify and Interact?

Search the Lobby: Look around the hub area for NPCs with the distinctive red aura
Approach and Interact: Once found, walk up to the NPC and press E to interact
Receive Next Objective: The NPC will give you information about visiting a “familiar place” and finding a “specific board game”

The quest dialogue hints that you need to visit a place familiar to this character and find a board game – this is your clue for the next step!

Step 2: Completing the Chess Challenge

This is one of the most unique aspects of the Power of Kings quest. You’ll need to locate and complete a chess match on a map specific to your distressed NPC.

Map Selection

Based on which distressed NPC you found, you’ll need to play the corresponding map:

Naruto → Ninja Forest map
Luffy → Marine Base map
Gen → Hollowed Moon map

Good news: Any Act will work for these maps, so you don’t need to worry about selecting a specific difficulty or act number.

Finding the Chessboards

Once you’re on the correct map, you need to find three red-and-black chessboards that spawn randomly throughout the level. Here’s what you need to know:

Random Spawns: The chessboards appear in different locations each time
Visual Identification: Look for small, red-and-black chessboard designs
Multiple Boards: You’ll find three boards, but you only need to complete one
Search Strategy: Systematically explore the entire map, checking corners and hidden areas

Winning the Chess Match

The chess puzzle is designed to be accessible to all players, even those with limited chess knowledge:

Simplified Chess: This isn’t a full chess game – it’s a simplified puzzle version
Easy Checkmates: The puzzles are designed for quick checkmates
One Win is Enough: You only need to win one match on any of the three boards
No Chess Expertise Required: Basic understanding of chess piece movement is sufficient

Pro Tip: If you’re struggling with the chess puzzle, ask a friend who knows chess to help, or look up basic chess checkmate patterns online.

After Completing the Chess Match

Once you’ve won a chess match, return to the Mysterious Witch (C.C.) in the hub world. She’ll acknowledge your success and give you the next set of challenges – the endurance trials.

Step 3: Conquering the Endurance Trials

This is the most time-consuming part of the Power of Kings quest. You’ll need to complete four specific numerical challenges:

The Four Challenges

Clear 80 waves in a single game mode
Kill 15 boss enemies
Upgrade any relic 75 times
Place any unit 5,000 times across any game modes

These challenges can be completed in any order, and I’ll provide you with the fastest methods for each one.

Challenge 1: Clear 80 Waves

Fastest Method: Infinite Mode on Easy difficulty

Why Infinite Mode? It’s designed for continuous wave clearing
Why Easy Difficulty? Faster wave completion with less risk of failure
Strategy: Focus on survivability and area damage units
Time Estimate: 1-2 hours depending on your unit strength and strategy

Pro Tip: Use units with good AoE (Area of Effect) damage to clear waves quickly. Units that can hit multiple enemies at once will significantly speed up this process.

Challenge 2: Kill 15 Boss Enemies

Fastest Method: Story Mode on the lowest difficulty

Why Story Mode? Bosses spawn regularly and predictably
Why Lowest Difficulty? Faster boss kills with weaker units
Strategy: Focus on single-target damage units
Time Estimate: 30-45 minutes

Optimization: Choose stages where bosses spawn frequently. Some stages have more boss waves than others, so experiment to find the most efficient one for your current unit lineup.

Challenge 3: Upgrade Any Relic 75 Times

Easiest Challenge: This sounds intimidating but is actually the simplest

Important Note: You don’t need to actually level up the relic 75 times
What to Do: Simply press the “Power Up” button 75 times
Best Relic to Use: Choose your cheapest relic to minimize resource cost
Time Estimate: 5-10 minutes

Pro Strategy: Use a low-tier relic that doesn’t cost much to upgrade. You’re not actually improving the relic – just clicking the button, so cost efficiency is key.

Challenge 4: Place 5,000 Units

Most Time-Consuming Challenge: This requires patience and strategy

Fastest Method: Infinite Mode with rare units and placement/sell loop

Strategy: Use rare units with high placement caps
Technique: Place units → sell units → repeat in a continuous loop
Best Units: Cheap units that you can afford to place and sell repeatedly
Time Estimate: 2-3 hours (even with optimal methods)

Advanced Tip: Some players use macros to automate this process, but be sure to check the game’s terms of service regarding automation. If you choose to grind manually, put on some music or a podcast and settle in for the long haul.

Optimization for All Challenges

Here are some general tips to make the endurance trials more bearable:

Multi-task: Work on multiple challenges simultaneously when possible
AFK Preparation: Set up your defenses and take breaks during longer sessions
Resource Management: Use cheaper units and relics to conserve resources
Progress Tracking: Keep a mental or physical note of your progress on each challenge

Claiming Your Reward: Lelouch (Lulu)

Once you’ve completed all four endurance trials, it’s time to claim your hard-earned reward:

Open Your Quest Menu: Navigate to your Personal Quests tab
Locate Power of Kings Quest: Find the completed quest in your list
Claim Reward: Click the claim button to receive Lelouch permanently
Check Your Units: Lelouch will now be available in your unit collection

Congratulations! You’ve successfully unlocked one of Universal Tower Defense’s most exclusive secret units.
